Twin Fin

5’9″ x 19 3/4″ x 2 1/2″
Volume: 30.7 Litres
Fins: Twin Futures set up
Shaper: Al Merrick

A retro feel twin fin with some modern performance updates. A real fast and fun wave catching machine. Inspired by a 70’s twin fin shaped by Al Merrick, Britt Merrick modified the template to build himself a board for a retro surfboard contest. The rocker has been modified from the original to give it that modern feel and to add drive and carving ability. The rails are tapered and relatively thin, to add sensitivity and responsiveness… Two qualities you don’t usually associate to a twin fin fish. This board has a twin Futures set up with a single FCS plug, perfect for a knubster fin to add that little extra control and drive should you wish.

FlexBar Sampler

5’8″ x 19 1/4″ x 2 3/8″
Volume: 28.2 Litres
Fins: Thruster
Shaper: Al Merrick

The Sampler is at the high end of the grovellers. Loosely taken from the Dumpster Diver, but more refined and with a much more pronounced pivotal hip. A flat and racy rocker right throught the board until a curve in the tail allows for tight transitional turns into airs. There’s a generous single concave running through the whole board, with a double inside the single between the fins, running to a slight vee in the tail. All in all this board will fly in the slack stuff and create more speed as you hack into your turns. The Sampler will work for every level of surfer in knee to head high. FlexBar technology utilises a combination of alternating foam densities and fiberglass through the entire board, Flexbar finally allows the surfer to feel and use the energy in your board through manoeuvres.

Black And White

5’11” x 19″ x 2 1/4″
Volume: 27.8 Litres
Fins: Thruster
Shaper: Britt Merrick

This will be your go-to board when it’s anywhere from chest to well overhead, the Black and White is the latest model to come out of the Channel Islands shaping bay for 2017. Britt Merrick based this board on a custom he had shaped for Dane Reynolds, which has turned out to be one of Dane’s all-time favourites. A fairly low-entry rocker runs into a staged flat-ish mid section, with an accelerated kick out through the tail. A single concave runs the entire length of the board, deepest towards the front fins and shallowing into a very subtle vee out of the tail.

FEVER

6’1″ x 19 1/4″ x 2 1/2″

Shaper: Mike Andrews

Channel Islands shaper Mike Andrews has created this perfomance shortboard with input and feedback from Patrick Gudauskas. The goal was to create a board that can deliver Pat’s favourite elements: speed, drive and flair. The result is an easily accessible board that can be surfed in a wide variety of conditions from 2-3ft weak beachies right up to 6ft+ punchy waves, the likes of Snapper, J-Bay and Bells. The Fever will fill the gap between your groveller right up to your step-up.
