Channel Islands Mid
A 70's Inspired Mid Length

The Channel Islands Mid is taking the world by storm, introducing the shortboard faithful to alternative design without having them stray from their favorite performance shortboard brand.

To be totally honest, we were skeptical at first when we heard about this board.

Thinking about a performance shortboard builder dabbling in alternative shapes just seemed to go against the grain. Mid lengths, logs, and fishes have notoriously been the staple for the underground "backyard" shapers.

Then we heard that Devon Howard was involved, the man behind the timeless shape from Takayama, the Howard Mini. That peaked our interest...

The ultimate turning point was once we got this board under our arms for the first time. Feeling the curves of the board and seeing the modern design implemented into

The CI Mid is a board that will give you the speed and flow that your after on a longer board, while allowing you to do your best surfing and make the turns your used to on the shortboard.

We're going to dive much deeper into this shape soon, but for now - here's Brit Merrick giving the all new CI Mid a full breakdown.
