Taco Grinder

The Channel Islands Taco Grinder is a high-performance surfboard meticulously engineered for advanced surfers seeking to conquer the most challenging conditions. Originally designed for navigating long barrels along the Mexican coast, this board exemplifies versatility and performance, seamlessly transitioning between semi-gun and step-up categories. Its unique single concave bottom contour allows for efficient trimming across the wave, while the fuller rail and pronounced tail kick enhance paddling efficiency and vertical capabilities. A board of this caliber is ideal for both powerful, steep waves and weaker beach breaks, making it a comprehensive tool for surf enthusiasts aiming to refine their skills.

Crafted for versatility, the Taco Grinder is designed to be ridden 2 to 6 inches longer than your standard performance board, offering a well-balanced combination of paddle power and maneuverability. This surfboard accommodates a variety of breaking styles, from point and reef to beach breaks, and performs well in a range of wave conditions—from mushy swells to powerful barrels. Its agile response in both pocket turns and carving maneuvers positions it as an essential asset in any advanced surfer's quiver. Featuring a thruster fin setup, this board maximizes control and stability, ensuring that you can push your limits as you chase the perfect wave.
