Black and White

Introducing the Channel Islands Black and White surfboard, a high-performance shortboard meticulously designed for surfers seeking both speed and agility. Drawing inspiration from a classic hand shape crafted by Britt Merrick for renowned pro surfer Dane Reynolds, this board excels in various surf conditions, particularly in the classic point breaks of Santa Barbara. The Black and White's design features a low entry rocker complemented by a flat center section, promoting streamlined down-the-line speed while facilitating effortless rail-to-rail transitions. Its unique profile is designed for those who appreciate subtle yet effective performance enhancements, making it an ideal choice for intermediate to advanced surfers looking to elevate their game.

The Black and White is characterized by a single concave that deepens near the front fins and gently transitions into a hint of vee at the tail, enhancing maneuverability and responsiveness. This surfboard has a flat deck design that not only improves its flex characteristics but also provides a solid feel beneath your feet. The full rails combined with a length tailored to your height (recommendation of the same height up to 2 inches longer) ensure an optimal balance of volume and performance. Additionally, this board is suggested to be ridden thinner by 1/8" compared to your typical shortboard, allowing adept surfers to maintain desired buoyancy and control without sacrificing wave-catching ability. Whether you're carving through powerful waves or navigating mushy beach breaks, the Channel Islands Black and White is crafted to meet the needs of diverse conditions and enhance your surfing experience.
