Semi Pro 12

The Channel Islands Semi Pro 12 surfboard is a meticulously engineered performance board, originally unveiled in 2012, that excels in a variety of surf conditions by combining advanced design features with a versatile shape. Notable for its wider forward outline and a strategically placed wide point just behind center, the Semi Pro 12 offers enhanced paddling efficiency and wave-catching ability without compromising on maneuverability. This design translates to increased forward volume, which provides stability and ease for surfers of various skill levels, from novices to experts. With a round tail configuration, this board is particularly revered as a step-up board, allowing for dynamic transitions and tight arcs on steeper waves.

Performance-wise, the Semi Pro 12 is ideally suited for a range of wave types—from weak, mushy swells to robust barrels. Surfers can expect superior handling that caters to vertical and pocket approaches, and the board's specifications—length typically equal to the rider’s height or up to 2" longer—ensure a custom fit for individual styles. Additionally, the board can be set up as a thruster, adding versatility in executing both powerful carves and cruisy positional maneuvers. When it comes to size and dimensions, the Semi Pro 12 is available in a variety of lengths, widths, and thicknesses, ensuring the right volume and balance for optimal performance in diverse surf conditions. Overall, the Channel Islands Semi Pro 12 is not just a surfboard, it’s a sophisticated piece of equipment designed for serious surfers seeking to elevate their performance in the water.
