Weirdo Ripper

Introducing the Channel Islands Weirdo Ripper, an all-around performance surfboard, expertly crafted for surfers seeking versatility across a variety of wave conditions. This board is the brainchild of renowned shaper Yadin Nicol and has been meticulously refined over a year in collaboration with iconic surfers including Kelly Slater and Dane Reynolds. Designed to excel in small to medium surf, the Weirdo Ripper features a dynamic blend of aggressive tail rocker and a V-bottom hull for rapid acceleration and smooth transitions, making it ideal for carving and pocket riding alike. The square-winged swallow tail not only enhances maneuverability but also provides a unique aesthetic that distinguishes it in the lineup.

With a focus on user-friendly performance, the Weirdo Ripper boasts full volume and a wide point that is strategically positioned forward to facilitate easy paddling. This thoughtful design allows surfers to ride the board 2 to 5 inches shorter than their height, granting enhanced agility while still ensuring stability for both novice and expert levels. The board is versatile enough to perform exceptionally as both a thruster and quad setup, adapting to various wave faces from weak beach breaks to powerful barrels. Combined with its robust construction and optional customization, the Weirdo Ripper is a potent addition to any surfer's quiver, delivering not only performance but also a synthesis of style and functionality that caters to diverse surf conditions and personal riding preferences.
