Neckbeard 2

The Channel Islands Neckbeard 2 is a highly refined and innovative surfboard crafted for surfers seeking an optimal blend of performance and versatility. Designed by the renowned Britt Merrick in collaboration with surf icon Dane Reynolds, the Neckbeard 2 introduces thoughtful enhancements to its predecessor without compromising what made the original a favorite among riders. The shift to a single concave bottom, eliminating the vee from the original design, increases wave entry efficiency and significantly improves down-the-line speed while maintaining exceptional control. This updated rocker curve harmonizes the board's overall dynamic, catering to a wide range of surfing styles from punchy beach breaks to more challenging reef setups.

In terms of dimensions and design, the Neckbeard 2 features a wider tail block, extended by ½ inch, complemented by a subtle hip that adds an extra layer of responsiveness and maneuverability. This board supports a versatile five-fin setup, allowing riders to play with thruster configurations for enhanced carving and turning or switch to a quad setup for maximized speed down the line. Available in both PU/PE and EPS Spine-Tek constructions, the Neckbeard 2 caters to surfers of varying skill levels— from novices seeking to explore their capabilities to seasoned pros looking for a board that can handle everything from weak, mushy waves to powerful, steep barrel conditions. With its fine-tuned shape and performance attributes, the Neckbeard 2 represents the perfect tool for any surfer aiming to elevate their ride.
