For all of you that are into the ridiculously small board craze right now, boy have I got a deal for you. Brand new Channel Islands surfboards by none other than the godfather himself
Al Merrick for $300. That's almost 60% off the $700 retail price! But of course with all things that seem too good to be true, there are a couple catches. First off, you have to be into the small board craze. The boards for sale are 5'9" x 18.5" x 2.25". For any of you that swear by a 6'4" x 19" x 3" and consider Occy your idle, this isn't for you. Secondly, it's Surftech's Tuflite construction which is a little more buoyant (good for small waves though) and has different flex characteristics than normal old school foam boards- so it may take a few surfs to get used to it. But if you're looking to take your small wave game up a notch, this is the board to get you on tour. It's the K Small model (I guess the 10 X champ endorses it), is a FCS tri-fin set up, has a slight single bump, and includes the new diamond tail which is all the rage with the kids. Long story short, whether you're into the small board craze or not, you can't argue with a
$300 Merrick.
