Abstract

A sports board 10 comprising an elongate, water resistant, thermoplastic foam core 12, 14 having an upper surface and an under surface, an upper layer covering at least a portion of the upper surface, and an under layer covering at least a portion of the under surface. The foam core 12, 14 is made of a foam material that has a water absorption (measured according to ASTM C-272) of less than 2 volume percent. The foam core 12, 14 comprises an expandable polymer matrix comprising interpolymers of a polyolefin and in situ polymerized vinyl aromatic monomers, rubber modified polystyrene, polystyrene modified rubber, polyphenylene oxide, blends of polyolefins and at least one other polymer, and combinations and blends thereof.
