Channel Islands Black and White Model

Channel Islands Black and White ModelWe now have a full size run of the new Channel Islands Black and White Model on our racks at Zak Surfboards.  The Black and White is an all round, high performance shortboard designed for down the line speed and easy rail-to-rail transitions.  Based on a favorite hand shape Britt Merrick made Dane Reynolds for Santa Barbara area point breaks. This model features a fairly low entry rocker, a staged flat-ish section between the feet, and an accelerated kick through the tail. A single concave runs the length of the board, is deepest near the front fins and shallows into a hint of vee exiting the tail block.

It also allows you to ride this board a touch thinner than other performance shortboard models, so keep that in mind when scoping the dimensions.
