They are using the SUP blank as it was the only one that would fit the shape of the board, Being a SUP blank makes no difference other than that more needs to be cut away to shape it into a XST 80.
Weeeellll maybe, but as previously mentioned, the deeper you cut into a moulded urethane blank the softer it gets.
If you're not using good sandwich technology or perhaps carbon, it's going to dent very readily.
i didnt notice the density change with the hardcore but i used divinicell in the high stress area's, SWS have you got a gestimate on this board, if its a sup blank it will have a stringer, my guess the board will be weighing in at around 7kgs without straps
Hardcore foam is styrofoam which is extruded and is therefore an even density throughout, PU blanks are moulded so the skin density is higher. I think the styrofoam memory is better than PU but not as good as PS foam. It tends to tear rather than compress.
