Channel Islands NeckBeard 2
Best high performance board for intermediate surfers in small wave conditions.
This board trades the traditional, forgiving feel of a vee bottom for a single concave that demands more precision but rewards you with blistering down-the-line speed. The widened tail adds a snappy, responsive edge that makes it feel lively in average conditions, giving you the versatility to switch between fin setups as the waves change.
