Product Review: Resin 8 Surfboards

The other day Resin 8 surfboards hooked me up with a 6'2" Sam Egan, and told me to give them some feeback on how it rides. Well, my ankle is still all bus and I won't be able to surf for a quick minute, but this board looks fucking sick. Plus, I've heard nothing but good things, the flex is supposed to be unreal.

Resin 8 surfboards represents five years of research and development utilizing state of the art methods of surfboard construction to build a stronger, lighter, faster shortboard without compromising performance. They have two of the best shapers around on their roster, as in Sam Egan and Wade Tokoro.

Egan is a legend in Australia, the father of longtime WCTer, Luke Egan, he has made boards for plenty of world tour rippers, and he has been voted one of the top 5 shapers in Australia by his peers. Tokoro too, is a legend, especially back on the aina' as in Hawaii. In my opinion one of the top three shapers from the islands that invented surfing.

The Resin 8 team consists of: Daniel Jones, Dustin Barca, Flynn Novak, Ikaika Kalama, Jonah Morgan, Keali'i Mamala, Makua Rothman, Marcus Hickman, Mikey Bruneau, Sage Huls, Solomon Ortiz, Buttons, Tom Lowe, Joss Ash, Jesse Pollock, Betet, Pepen and Tom Dosland.

So, instead of surfing it, I decided to have a little photo shoot around GrindTV headquarters to see how much of a barn I could look like while holdind such a high performance shred stick. Remember, I am hurt, I will surf this board, and from what I've seen and heard it's for sure gonna go off. I'll report back about it as soon as I ride it.
