The one board for all conditions has been reborn, with the amazing Channel Islands M23, which will become THE go to 'do it all' surfboard for most surfers.
Channel Islands Surfboard's have produced another incredible surfboard here. After the last few years being dominated by the Channel Island's Mid, the launch of the all new M23 could not be better timed. Could the M23 paired with a Mid be the best two board quiver you can get your hands on? We think so.
A derivative of the much-loved M13, CI's M23 model is truly a performance hybrid model that really appeals to and fits a multitude of surfers in size and ability. Shaped by Britt Merrick, the M23 comes with a tidy pulled in nose outline, which runs with medium to full rails, giving the board a margin for error when riding the board. The round tail provides control and hold while giving performance with the harder, sharper rail edge in the final third of the board. You'll find the M23 holds foam central to the board, creating a fast paddling board to hoover up waves from 2ft to 6ft with effortless style.
Testament to the shape of the M23 is how versatile this board is. Suited to waves from beach breaks, reefs, points and even wave pools. Anyone on an M23 will rival the wave count of people on out and out mid lengths while having performance to match shortboards. Channel Island's have keep the board simple with fin plug options too, this is a thruster set up and suited to this. Use the AM template fins to make a perfect pairing with board and fin.
