Resin8's provide greater buoyancy, a responsive flex pattern and, of course, an insane shape designed by Sam Egan and now Tokoro. The combination of technology and a master craftsmans design results in a board that is hard to blame when a surfer is having a bad day and can put you places on the wave normally difficult to get to. The boards flex characteristics allows it to load up with potential energy as a surfer starts a turn and then releases that energy through the turn resulting in a sling shot effect. The boards incredible durability is suited to surfers who push their equipment to the limits, particularly those who travel a lot and surf hollow waves that snap boards. We have over 4 years of R&D testing with Team Rider Feedback in order to perfect the formula, flexibility and finish to what we feel is an all around better surfboard than traditional methods.
