CONSTRUCTION
RESIN8
surfboards use the latest in vacuum-wrapped epoxy sandwich surfboard
construction technology including the most advanced methods and
techniques in epoxy resin, vacuum forming, and composite material with
a focus on creating superior surfboard that will perform in all
conditions. While many of these materials and methods are nothing new
we have continuously tested and tweaked our production methods to
arrive at our current level of quality and performance. A triple
density core which is vacuum formed and fine tuned by hand. We start
with a low density EPS core and wrap it with a high density foam skin.
Combined with our custom formulated epoxy the resulting board is 15%
lighter than a traditional polyurethane surfboard.
FLEX
Due
to the specially engineered construction the boards feel more alive in
the water. Our surfboards eliminate the centerline stringer, which
actually limits flexibility, and allow the flex to utilize the sandwich
construction to respond to the surfer and wave in a way the feels much
more alive. The boards flex response accelerates it through turns and
puts the surfer in places on a wave that seemed impossible. A good
surfer will notice the difference as soon as he hits the water and
starts paddling..
PERFORMANCE
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.
DURABILITY
The
Resin8 experience goes farther than just exceptional performance.
Resin8 boards are much stronger than most high performance boards on
the market. The epoxy sandwich construction, make the boards lighter
and stronger. This means no more pressure dings after only a few surfs
and no more cracks when lightly bumped. The boards maintain integrity
even after months of continued use. Look after your Resin8 surfboards
and it will be with you for many more sessions than you could imagine.
ENVIRONMENT
Resin8
Surfboards use epoxy resin and EPS foam which are materials determined
to be exponentially less harmful during the construction process than
traditional polyurethane foams and polyester resins used in most
surfboards today. Add our vacuum forming construction technique, which
traps any VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) during curing, and you get
a surfboard that utilizes the safest materials and methods available
today
