The typical application would be shaping the model in polyurethane foam and then cover it with several layers of polyester resin (the most common resin used with fiberglass to build hulls). Also surf boards used to be "shaped" by hand and layered as I mentioned.
So for bonding, any polyester resin, expoxi like glues (two components).

It looks like expanded polyurethane (rigid polyurethane foam). To be sure, you may try to sand it. if you obtain a grainy powder looking like sand, then it is for sure polyurethane.
This powder is very harmful to the lungs. So for sanding it use mask and googles.
