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.
EPS Epoxy Spine-Tek Construction:
The Spine-Tek construction is the result of the collaboration with Shapers Australia. SPINE-TEK is a precision engineered stringer spine utilizing a unique composition of fiberglass and resin. SPINE-TEK is based on the principles of elastic energy, to flex under pressure and then return the surfboard back to its natural rocker, providing surfboards with a more lively and responsive feel.
Performance through innovation, SPINE-TEK® is a world’s first with its unique fiber-based composition, delivers optimal flex based performance through the principles of elastic & kinetic energy. Through this process the surfboard loads up on energy and then releases, generating additional drive, speed, power & flow.
Weighing a mere ¼ of a pound and installed in the surfboard deck, SPINE-TEK replaces the traditional heavier timber stringers and is virtually break free.
