Bodyboards are made from 3 types of foam, polypropylene(pp), polyethlene(pe), and polystyrene(ps).
Polypropylene foam come in two types, beaded(bpp) and extruded. Both types of pp foam are used in bodyboards, the beaded polypropylene being more expensive and stronger. PP foam has memory and is also used for automobile bumpers.
Polyethelene foam is the more accepted foam used in bodyboards. Although it isn't as strong as pp, it is easy to work with and easier to bond the out skins. Manufactures using a knife and heat can make a board in less than 10 minutes.
Polystyrene foam is used in the cheaper bodyboards and is not as strong as the other core foams.

What is the difference between pp and pe bodyboard?
polypropylene and poly Ethylene PE is polyethylene. This is a plastic that is used in consumer products. It is made from the monomer ethylene (CH2=CH2), so all PEs are chemically similar, but depending on how it is made, it can have differing physical properties. PE is the cheapest of all the synthetic polymers; therefore, whenever it can be used for a specific application, it usually is. PP is polypropylene. It is chemically similar to PE but is made from the monomer propylene (CH3CH=CH2). This can be prepared from fewer reactions than PE, but it is much tougher and stronger than PE, even after molding, because it has more self-crystallizing capacity. A lot of consumer goods are made from PP for this reason
