Kwik Kick Epoxy Is Your Friend!!!



Let’s face it; you need to try epoxy resin. Don’t worry, I’ll be here to help you through it and now you can’t use that lame excuse that “it takes too long to cure.” That’s right; that old stand by is out the window because we now carry The Resin Research Kwik Kick epoxy. The name says it all, quicker cure time, flip time, and overall working time. I have had the opportunity to work with the stuff and it is great. Just like the RR CE the Kwik Kick has the optical brightener and UV inhibitor and even though it has a bluish color to it, the resin dries clear and actually finishes out with a brighter white due to the optical brightener. Back to the facts, the working time @ 75˚ is roughly that of polyester and the flip time is about 45 minutes which basically cuts the original flip time of 3-4 hours by a couple of hours. I was able to glass a board completely in 6 hours which is a vast improvement from the usual glassing schedule of laminate one day and hot coat the next day. The Kwik Kick is the same price as the other variations of Resin Research Epoxy systems, it saturates out the same, and it is a great product to work with. Call us up if you have any additional questions.

Kelly Slater talks on NPR!




This is actually a cool and entertaining interview! I'm not sure how Kelly Slater got picked to be on NPR but it turned out to be a a good choice. He doesn't have anything groundbreaking to say but the exchange between he and the interviewers is pretty darn funny. You know the stereotype Surfers have built over the years. Pot smokers, losers, uneducated, (you know the rest) but Kelly is on this NPR show to break down the stigma for us!

Enjoy!

Topless Mermaids, a funny Volcom cartoon!

Came across this Volcom ad the other day and thought I would share it. No real point but definitely a creative masterpiece! All surfers have been in search of or at least have dreamed of the Topless Mermaids. We're looking forward to part two!

Enjoy!
