Since 1969, Channel Islands Surfboards has been dedicated to performance and quality through hard work, innovation, and originality. Over the last 38 years, Channel
Islands has grown from a local grass-roots operation to a cutting edge organization, catering to the best surfers in the world.
It started with hard-core surfing and
quality in mind and these guidelines have brought us through three decades of constant change in the surf industry. Channel Islands will shape the new millennium
with innovative design and quality as our main focus.
“The driving force behind Channel Islands Surfboards is the demand on design created by the world’s greatest surfers, allowing for the highest performance surfing
possible.
To provide the most dedicated surfers with the most advanced, performance designs is my passion”
- Al Merrick, Designer/Shaper
In July of 2006, Channel Islands Surfboards was acquired by Burton Corporation. This is a marriage of two like-minded companies; both being privately held organizations
focused on rider-driven product and manufacturing the best possible equipment available. At a time when the surfboard industry was undergoing massive changes,
the added resources brought to CI from Burton allowed us to renew our focus on design and board building in our home of Santa Barbara California. CI promptly
e-Shapes
moved to a larger facility just blocks from Rincon Del Mar, setting the foundation for developing, testing, and building boards in Santa Barbara for many years to
come.
computer pre-shapes
“Computer pre-shapes allow the surfer to get the closest possible board to my original designs. The end result is a better, truer board for the surfer. One of the
hardest things for a shaper to do is replicate a magic board from a raw blank, much less try to change it slightly to get a different feel.
machine provides for a proven and reliable starting point for each design.

This is where the milling
Kelly, Bobby, Dane, Taylor, Rob and all CI team ride boards generated from my computer
This provides me with instantaneous feedback.
After working with the team on various shapes, I will finish a redesigned master board that fuses team feedback for the entire year.
The master is then input to
the computer that controls the milling machine. From this point on, orders will be cut (pre-shaped) by the machine according to the specifications set by the master
and changed based on customer needs. Boards are then hand-sanded by finish shapers in Santa Barbara that combined, have over 200 years of shaping experience.
07 Models
The real beauty of using the machine is that a board I develop for a team rider can be expanded or contracted to work for surfers of different sizes and abilities.
Before the computer, doing this would have been impossible.”

A6
a6
MODEL DESCRIPTION
CI's performance shortboard design for 2006: An all purpose short board for a wide
variety of every-day surfing conditions. Low entry rocker and single concave make
for a responsive and loose feel. Commonly ridden and tested on tour during the
2006 WCT and WQS season, though the A6 is still forgiving enough to be ridden
by all levels of surfers. Medium full rails. Find one at your local dealer up to 6'6".
We can custom build your A6 up to 7'0" long and 3" thick.
WHO SHOULD RIDE THIS BOARD
You want a board that is user friendly and adapts to a variety of wave types.

M4
m4
MODEL DESCRIPTION
A favorite with surfers on tour for riding small to medium waves:
Flat entry rocker,
increased tail kick, full rail, and single concave. The M-4 has a wider nose and tail,
so ride this one an inch shorter and a hair wider if you surf mostly in small waves.
You surf with a balance of power and precision and in a variety of wave conditions.

Mx
MX
MODEL DESCRIPTION
The yardstick of the shortboard line and CI’s longest standing shorty: low entry rocker
with accelerated rocker out the tail. Offering a forgiving and responsive feel, the MX works well with all types of surfers, but best for those who like to trim off the
front foot and turn off the back foot.
If you feel you drive more on your forward foot the lower rocker will work well for
you. Quick turns in the pocket off the back foot.

MBM
MODEL DESCRIPTION
Originally developed with Bobby Martinez, the M-BM is now our most popular shortboard
for advanced surfers. The M-BM has a full rail and plenty of volume in the nose
and tail to make it user friendly.
Likes to be surfed vertical and in the pocket.
Relatively flat under the front foot to a double concave/vee combo out the back.
You want to ride what lots of the pros are riding

Flyer
flyer f
MODEL DESCRIPTION
The most popular shortboard in the line. This board excels in small to medium surf
but still rides and responds like a conventional shortboard.
Al considers this the
best small wave shortboard he has ever designed. It should be ridden 2” to 3” shorter
and
1/4” to 1/2”
wider than your normal shortboard.
We can build the Flyer
up to 7’6” for you big guys. For 2007 the Flyer is available as a Quad.
Also available in Tuflite technology in select dimensions.
You want to maintain the same speed and maneuverability you have on your shortboard
in good waves but when the surf is small.

FlyerI

MODEL DESCRIPTION
Widely considered the most versatile shortboard we make. Full rails allow for floatation
in small waves while the swallow tail keeps it solid in overhead surf.
Order it 1/8”
thinner than your normal shortboard. Also commonly ridden an inch shorter. Available
in Tuflite construction.
If you can only have one board for all types of waves from real small to well overhead, this is your board.

concave for a loose feel. Order from 6’6” to 8’0” with center widths from 19 1/2”
to 22”+ and thickness from 2 1/2” to 3”+.

MODEL DESCRIPTION
A proven travel board. This is the board Kelly would ride as a 6’3” or 6’6” at places
like the Mentawais and Teahupoo. When the waves get a little bigger or powerful,
but you don’t quite need a gun, this is the board.
Available up to 7’6”.
You are spending time in good surf that doesn't require a gun but is a little too
juicy for your shortboard.

Bobby
BOBBY
MODEL DESCRIPTION
This is the board Al designed for Bobby’s rookie season: in order to build boards
for the demands of Bobby’s surfing in WCT conditions, Al made the 2007 Bobby
Signature different than his M-BM of the past. The nose and tail are more narrow,
the vee dropped out the tail and rocker kicked, rails thinned, and bottom has added
concave. Definitely a board made for the advanced surfer in mind.
We can build
this up to 7’0” in length.
You surf well with attacking style.

the entire board. Look for this board at your local dealer starting in summer. Or
we can custom build this board up to 7’0”.

BISCUIT

A short and stubby tri-fin: the biscuit design was developed with Rob Machado during
the Hurley “Rip My Shredstick” tour through Australia. Overwhelmingly the favorite
of all boards ridden on the shredstick tour, the Biscuit rides free and loose in the
smallest surf and catches waves like boards a foot longer. Order your biscuit 8” to
10” shorter, 1” to 2” wider and 1/2” to 3/4” thicker than your shortboard.

A little bit of extra foam here and
