Resin8 Tokoro 6'8 Semi Gun Surfboard

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. For More info check out www.resin8usa.com

Sam Egan When starting a new surfboard company and you are considering shapers to approach where do you start? Well you start at the beginning of course – and who was there at the beginning? SAM EGAN…yes – the father of surfing legend Luke Egan. This master craftsman has been shaping boards for over forty years – which equates to more than 50 -000 boards made with his own bare hands. He is so bloody good that hes been voted one of the top 5 surfboard shapers in Australia by his peers and hes also been voted as one of the Top 10 best shapers on the planet.

6’5 in. X 19 5/16 in. X 2 1/2 in. is an excellent big guy performance board – and can realy be used in a wide range of conditions and size waves. Lots of rocker – so can be surfed in bigger hollower surf – but can also work well in small waves – as it has deep concaves – and is wider with full rails. Also a model that can be used by many types of surfers. (160-200 pound surfers)

5’11 in. X 19 1/8 in. X 2 3/16 in. is a very sick board – can can be used by a wide range of surfers – and in many kinds of conditions and sized waves. Bit wider outline – fuller rails but not too thick – medium rocker – nice curvy outline. This board can do it all – grovel in the small mushy stuff – but can perform wonderfuly in good medium size surf. (150 to 180 pound surfers)
