Team Edit: Dumpster Diver 2

Watch some of CI's leading Team Riders in a purely surf action "TEAM EDIT" for the Dumpster Diver 2.

The idea for this board came when Dane was riding his original Dumpster Diver while filming "Out of the Rafters" edit for Chapter 11 last year. He was was tripping out how how tiny and short the Dumpster Diver felt and wanted to build a longer - modernized version that still tapped into the magic of the original.

The DD2 has a wider nose and tail, more nose and tail rocker, and a more subtle single concave. These updates, among other tweaks, allow the board to excel in a wider range of conditions and letting your rip as hard as you think you do.

Dane also made a special set of fins for the board, that will work well in other designs if you like that slightly 2+1 feel.

Ride 1" shorter than your Happy Everyday.

Charly Quivront Clocks The Best Session Of His Life In Pumping Indonesia

27-year old Frenchman drops his Stab Edit Of The Year — "Mind Melting." Watch 12 minutes of Sumbawa flights and the best session of Charly Quivront's life.

G Skate Demo Tapes: Indonesia

The G Skate Demo Tapes' Indonesia edition follows our CI Team for a week around Bali. Surfers include: Parker Coffin, Cam Richards, Tai Buddha, Charly Quivront, Miguel Tudela, Kian Martin, Ryuki Waida and Ketut Agus. They lucked into week of cooking surf while all riding the G Skate that the Gudauskas brothers had worked closely with Britt Merrick.

For all these boys it was their first time riding this new design, and as you'll see, this skatey style of board allowed them to draw some very creative lines at high speeds. This edit captures the radical surfing that went down during those sessions.

The goal of the G Skate project between the G Bros and Britt was to create something fresh feeling that turned well in good surf but skated with ease through the not-so-good stuff. There was one major stipulation during its development: the G Skate had to still perform at the highest levels possible. They achieved this by shortening their typical shortboard rail line by 5” and adding curves and contours in key places that would keep them on top of the water and not hinder their turns in any way. Adding a 2 + 1 (twin plus trailer) fin set-up tied the whole concept together.

The G Skate has a lot of get up and go speed thanks to its light single to double concave, low entry rocker, wide point forward—and its contemporary shortboard rails provide all the precision and control you could ever want.

This stoke-infused collaboration also yielded an all-new Merrick / Gudauskas 2 + 1 fin set for the G Skate, and they also found that the AMT (2 + 1) fin set up works very well. The purpose of this twin plus trailer fin set-up was to offer the beautiful “free feel” of a twinnie yet have the refined control of a thruster—which is critical in creating a board that accommodates the broad spectrum of approaches between all three G Bros. For those that prefer traditional thruster set-ups, their favorite 3-fin set will work well in this design—giving surfers twice the options and value.

The G Skate serves as a strong utility piece in any quiver where fun and performance are the goal. Ride this board 3” to 6” shorter and the same thickness as your CI Pro.

If you are in Bali, be sure to stop at one of our three Channel Islands Surfboards shops. And be sure to order your quiver of boards before you arrive so you don't need to haul a big board bag over there.

G-SKATIN' THROUGH INDONESIA // Surfing the new Channel Island G-Skate

Before jumping into the weekend, check out Charly Quivront’s new clip for his “Où est Charly ?” surf series! Cruising through Indonesia on his new weapon of fun from Channel Island.

''As Indonesia had a really slow start of the season with really poor swells, I luckily had a G-Skate in my board bag this year and trust me, this board saved half of my trip. Just pure fun on that board.

From average to quality waves the board was super polyvalent and a perfect weapon of choice in the smaller surf were I didn’t feel like surfing my regular shortboard.''

MC DOLIDO // A TRIP TO MOROCCO

Charly Quivront just dropped a new episode of the « Où est Charly ? » series!

Charly and Andy Benetrix went on a strike mission to Safi, Morocco where they ended up having a sick session on a beachbreak similar to France. This episode called « Mc Dolido » is mainly based on their 2 favorite sessions and on images filmed with Charly’s handycam.

''To resume, we were in Hossegor with my friends and a big storm was on the way so we escaped to Morocco and went on a strike mission to Safi, a wave that i've always dreamed of surfing. Luckily enough we were on a plane to surf that swell. We endep up only getting one surf with a proper swell then the swell died. But most surprising experience there was to be able to surf a beachbreak that was smilar to home but in Morocco with only a few friends in the water.
But other than surfing our time was mostly spent at the local snack 'Mc Dolido' to stay well fed in between surfs.'' - Charly

GAS CRAIC // A STRIKE MISSION TO IRELAND

Autumn at home was good but we needed a new adventure. We took the van and headed north towards the Emerald Isle to get our fair share of cold water slabs and Ireland didn't disappoint.

Big thanks to all the locals for the hospitality.
