The Channel Island Sampler is smaller and larger than usual shortboards. It is between fishboards and shortboards. It is powerful and efficient in medium quality waves.
The shape is based on the Channel Island Dumpster Diver with less rocker on the nose and centre of the board, more concave on the side and ending in V double concave between fins.
PU Construction:
Channel Island surfboards are made by Al Merrick in the Olatu factory, in the Basque country. Olatu owns the brand Pukas and builds for two big ones: Lost and Al Merrick. Polyurethane foam core, Silmar polyester resin and Hexcel fiberglass. Great finishing and exceptional expertise.
