Average Joe

The Channel Islands Average Joe surfboard is meticulously engineered to enhance the surfing experience for both novices and seasoned surfers alike, prioritizing simplicity, fun, and ease of ride. Drawing from extensive feedback gathered over six years from thousands of surfers during their demo tours, the Average Joe has been designed to meet the demands of various conditions while ensuring maximum wave count. It features a unique combination of light single concave at the nose that transitions to a deepening concave vee throughout the tail, allowing for dynamic riding off both the rails and tailored tail. This design is complemented by Al's signature hip tail template, providing enhanced drive and responsiveness, making it a perfect companion for varied surfing styles.

Another standout characteristic of the Average Joe is its high volume to length ratio that supports full rails, granting stability and buoyancy that is ideal for surf conditions ranging from weak and mushy waves to strong barrels. Its short outline facilitates quick maneuverability without sacrificing the speed and power necessary for more challenging conditions. The channels through which this board excels are versatile: it performs remarkably on point breaks, beach breaks, and reef setups, making it adaptable to an array of wave types. Ultimately, Channel Islands has targeted a diverse skill level spectrum, making the Average Joe an accessible choice for those looking to elevate their surf experience while enjoying the thrill of the ride.
