Owners Rating:

The CI Pro, designed by Britt Merrick in collaboration with Parker Coffin, is the pinnacle of high-performance surfing. This board, which won the 2022 Stab in the Dark with Jack Robinson, features the most rocker in the Channel Islands line. The continuous rocker beneath your feet allows for quick directional changes, while the low curve out the back maximizes projection. The minimal single concave with a slight double through the fins ensures the board sits in the water, providing a connected feel at high speeds. The curvier outline and soft, tucked rails enable extreme rail-to-rail surfing, making the CI Pro perfect for intermediate to advanced surfers aiming to push their limits in waves from waist-high to well overhead.
