RINCON CLASSIC IS ON THIS WEEKEND JAN 15-16

With a series of west swells hitting the coast for the first time in the 2021-22 winter season it is a bird in the hand to run the event on the first waiting weekend of January 15 and 16 with head high plus surf conditions predicted to light up the Queen of the coast. The event will be run in the cove with limited parking available. Shuttles will be running from Mark Avenue to Rincon from 8am-5:30 pm daily courtesy of Jump On The School Bus.

Heat draw and schedule is up on rinconclassic.com. There will be a live webcast as well! Link will be in the bio at @cisurfboards through the weekend. @cisurfboards are really stoked to support this community event every year, and for its 40th Anniversary contestants will receive this epic tee with a Cove image of Tom Curren shot by @jimmymetyko.gallery.

Surfer on poster is @jabe_swierkocki and also shot by @jimmymetyko.gallery

Thanks to Chris Keet and his @surfhappens crew for doing all the on-site work and organizing to make this a success each year.

NeckBeard 2 - Parker Coffin

Watch Parker Coffin on the very board that inspired the FishBeard.

When something isn’t broke, there’s no need to fix it. That said, Britt Merrick and Dane Reynolds still felt a few slight refinements would make an already epic board that much better. And it did: The NeckBeard 2 is obviously an update to the original NeckBeard, and it was made as our entry into Stab and Dane’s surf film “The Electric Acid Surfboard Test.”

A big fan of single concave, Dane asked Britt to take out the vee from the original NeckBeard, creating single throughout. This changed the rocker landscape some, but in a very positive way—enhancing its wave entry, down-the-line speed, and overall control. They also widened the tail block 1/2” and added a slight hip, resulting in increased responsiveness and maneuverability.

Parker is riding his in PU, but it’s also quite popular in EPS Spine-Tek, and its pop has made it the board of choice for wave pools as evidenced by Eithan Osbourne wining “highest air” at the Stab High event in Waco.

CI Mid in Bali: Jared Mell Session

Known for his irreverent attitude and cruisey surf style, Jared Mell recently rode a CI Mid for his first time, and it sure had us wishing we could jump on a plane right now and head over to join in the fun.

The CI Mid is a modern classic design resulting from a fun collaboration with Devon Howard, a southern California surfer that has spent the past two decades riding and refining egg-inspired designs that are in a category of boards many refer to as midlengths.

Inspired by the clean, longer-railed lines drawn by traditional eggs and single-fins, the CI Mid infuses that timeless vibe with the crispness, sensitivity, and freedom made possible by modern features synonymous with Merrick design principles. Boasting a sleek, egg-like template with low entry rocker and foam a tad forward for ease of paddle and effortless trim speed, the CI Mid scoots, squirts and swivels thanks to contemporary features like double-barrel concave, gradually accelerated rocker, and hard, slightly tucked rails through and off the tail.

A reliable all-arounder that flies over the flatter, smaller stuff, the CI Mid really stands apart from other eggs and various midlength designs out there, especially in shoulder-high to nearly double overhead point surf—where surfers are able to lay down flowy, arcing turns with total confidence, speed, and control.

The minimalist logo is out of the Channel Islands Archives—a lam Al put on his boards in the early ’70s—all CI Mids are stocked with high quality, colorful resin craftsmanship (6-4oz. decks with 6oz. bottoms).

This Video was made possible by Channel Islands Bali and Charlie Stambolieff, and was filmed by Maximillian Brunette @maximillian_brunette and @23mavrick.

FishBeard by Channel Islands Surfboards

Watch Channels Islands Surfboards' team shred the super fun and fast twin-keel fin design called the FishBeard.

Surfers in order of appearance: Parker Coffin, Conner Coffin, Sebastian Zietz, Eithan Osbourne, Yadin Nicol, Mikey February, Cliff Kapono, Alex Gray, Patrick Gudauskas, Tanner Gudauskas, Dane Reynolds and then Parker again.

With enthusiasm and design input from Parker Coffin, the FishBeard is pure business in the front and all party in the back. Get forward on this user-friendly board and drive from the center and you’ll have all the speed and flow you always desired. Step back on the tail to engage the fins and rails, which provides you hold, pivot, projection and the freedom to rip as hard as ever. To keep the party going, we dug into the archives and found some vintage mid-’80s, fluorescent logos and recreated CI’s iconic layup from that era.

For maximum performance, we highly recommend pairing the board with Futures AMK Keel Fins. Although inspired by classic keel outlines, the all-new AMK template boasts a modern rake shape, graduated tip flex and flat inside foils finely tuned for fast, high-performance surfing. This keel-fin design is built to shred but also ideal for those that just want to groove.

Noa Deane Flairs Out On A Dane Reynolds-Inspired Channel Islands Fish Beard

Noa Deane and Dane Reynolds share a lot in common, not least of which a beefy physique—both are 200lb grown men who fly higher than surfers several weight classes lower.

In fact, after Dane buckled the two CI Neck Beard II's he'd brought to Stab High to play around in the Waco pool, he grabbed one of Noa's LSDs, markered over the conflicting sponsor stickers, and paddled out for his first heat.

Noa for his part is an unabashed Dane apostle, a fan since day dot and one of the highest profile of his generation to wear Dane's influence on his sleeve. We first started talking to Noz about being our Acid Test subject after hearing how many times he'd watched Dane's first film with us (30+ when we checked in two years ago, double now, at least).

While we were immediately enthused about having Britt Merrick and the Carpinteria CI crew into basically building an exact replica of Dane's Acid Test Neck Beard II, we were more than pleased to find out Dane and Britt, along with Parker Coffin, had been working on a new modified Neck Beard model, the Fish Beard, a twin-keeled swallow tail with an outline from the tail's nadir forward ripped straight from the beloved chop-tailed best seller.

Britt Merrick Breaks Down the new Channel Islands FishBeard

Parker Coffin said it first: “A NeckBeard 2 would work sick as a keel-fin fish!” So we go to work redesigning the back half of the NB2 template and rocker, paired the board with our CI Keel Fins, and the FishBeard was born.

The FishBeard is pure business in the front and all party in the back. Get forward on this user-friendly board and drive from the center and you’ll have all the speed and flow you always desired. Step back on the tail to engage the fins and rails, which provides you hold, pivot, projection and the freedom to rip as hard as ever. To keep the party going, we dug into the archives and found some vintage mid-80’s, fluorescent logos and recreated CI’s iconic layup from that era.

Meet Lenny: Australia’s Next Big Thing Lennix Smith is Australia’s hottest up and coming youngster. He lives in Barrack Point, a quaint coastal town on the southern coast of Australia. Lennix charges and has a very well-rounded repertoire for being only 16, as seen in his recent edit “Not Lenny" on @stab. Lennix currently trains with Matt Griggs, a former professional tour surfer and coach of Mick Fanning. Now in year 11 at school, his main goal is to be on the CT and keep exploring South Australia to get some proper barrels. He now adds his Tweed Pro win to his list of major accomplishments that include 2x Australian Titles and The Occy Grom Comp Champion. We expect we’ll see a lot more great things to come from this rising star in the coming months and years ahead. Video shot by Ben Bagley from Lago films.

Australia's Jordy Lawler — Baja Trippin' Narrabeen's favorite son, and Sydney Pro champ, Jordy Lawler, headed over the U.S. Mainland to sharpen up his CI quiver and his surfing a few weeks ahead of the WSL's Challenger Series kick off at the U.S. Open. After spending some time at our factory working on his comp quiver with Britt, he headed south of the border to test ride and then pick out his favorites for the Series. The work on his boards and his surfing appears to have paid off, as seen by his 5th place finish in Portugal. We're excited to see how he goes in France, and hoping he lands himself a spot on the CT for next Season. Jordy is mostly riding his Two Happy model as well as the OG Flyer. Video by Noah McPherson.
