Anyone surfing a board glassed with resin-x?

  • Just looking through some of the newer technologies, and trying to get away from another less than a  year disposable.  The stuff seems pretty sick, flex and strength.  And nature shapes seems to be one of the go-to companies for it: unlike firewire you can get a custom shape and support local.  So who has one/has ridden one?

  • Ridden one and really liked it. Tough stuff but with great flex characteristics. I have a HP fish coming from Ian Zamora in the next week or so. Went Resin-X, longer wait because its not in his normal work load but should be well worth it. Highly recommend him, Brian Wynn, and Marlin Bacon for boards using it, they have it pretty wired.
    Peace,

  • Got my first session on the new board today.  6'0 x 2 1/4 x 18 1/8 glassed with Resin-x from Mike at Nature Shapes.  In your hands the board just feels strongg.  Can't feel the glass give in under your finger pressure like a standard PU.  Board is about the same weight, if not a little lighter, then PU.  Most importantly though, the board doesn't have a weird feel to it.  Feels great under your feet, flex is perfect, and it rips.  Took it to the head today, and besides my head, not a bump. Pricing was very reasonable, definitely check it out.
