Resin and Soul

In partnership with Dragon Alliance, “Resin and Soul” is a four-part series celebrating 50 years of abstract surfboard resin art. Part I: The Bucket examines the art form from the earliest “acid splash” days to its current popularity in contemporary surfboard production. Part II: The Mix profiles Alex Villalobos, Mica Quiles-Kramer and Brian Wynn, three of the industry’s top abstract resin artists, and also introduces the Dragon Resin and Soul Challenge, where a fourth artist is chosen from a talented pool of laminators to join the trio in coloring a blank custom-shaped by Rob Machado. In Part III: The Pour we follow the four featured artists, now including Kona Surf Company’s Bryan Fischer, into their glass factory “studios” and detail their processes of creating these remarkable surfboards.

Really beautiful. A form of art that is way too unappreciated 🔥

Anybody who has ever made, just glassed, or only repaired a board will agree that this video is poetry!

[@jimmyjohnson9615]

i am suprised and a little disppointed that you didn't want to show us the finished boards side by side.

Color Whoosh! Wow. Nice. 🌸🐌💙

Been surfing for decades and I only surf boards I made myself so I appreciate the beautiful craftsmanship on display here.! But I never get over the amount of waste we surfers generate, dumpsters full of resin drips, drop clothes, fiberglass and foam dust, endless gallons of solvents and other petrochemical products.... all toxic af. And our boards and wetsuits destined ultimately for the dump and eventually to become micro plastic pollution in the very ocean we so love. We're all in profound denial.

A blank blank is just screaming to be embellished. I find it impossible to make a clear board.

[@callalilycollective]

they look way to calm doing that many colors at once 😅😅

[@fuelbasti]
