The 6'3 is a high performance board for the bigger crew. Pulled in tail and nose,
 thin tucked rails. Single to double concave ands super fast. This is Ben's step up board that he uses for both surfing and kiting.

Resin8 surfboards are built with a unique hand shaped, hand laminated, vacuum formed composite process, resulting in unparalleled quality and performance.

Most production kitesurf boards are made with epoxy resin, and relatively low-cost moulded and basic lay-up construction processes. In order to make them strong enough for kitesurfing, many of the production kitesurf boards are very heavy and stiff compared to polyester surfboards. In addition, most production kitesurfing boards are machine shaped, and based on unproven designs.

"My signature line of boards feel great and I'm excited to ride them. I'd be very surprised if anyone at all did not like the way the resin 8 constructions felt. Although they are stronger than the average surfboard, they are still not made to go out and do massive jumps, or kite loops, as they're designed with strength in mind for riding the actual waves like a surfer or tow surfer would.

Please don't be confused by the amount of boards to pick from. The reason I have offered so many sizes is because I wanted to cover everyone from the young groms, to girls, as well as the bigger guys, and everything in between. " Says Ben
