Here Are Your 2020 Resin Roundup Finalists

In what’s either a powerful showing of East Coast pride, a concerted get-out-the-vote effort from Florida to the Carolinas, pure coincidence, or evidence that Right Coast resin artists reign supreme, it’s gonna be an all-Atlantic affair in the Resin Roundup Finals.

Fighting out of the, oh, let’s say greenish-blue with grey swirlies corner, we have WRV’s Austin Walker, who took down Son of Cobra, representing Lost/Catalyst, in a nailbiter that saw the winner squeak through to the main event by less than 200 votes. Out of the orangey-red-green spiral-y corner, it’s Heritage’s Brian Wynn, who knocked out Faktion’s Mark “Petro” Petrocelli.

WRV and Heritage are two of the most storied and respected East Coast surfboard brands, so it shouldn’t be a shocker that they thumped their way into the final heat. Lotta flat spells over there for them to practice their craft (*West Coast joke as we try to save some face).

The final vote will be on Tuesday 7/28, so check our Instagram stories and vote, vote, vote away.
