Possibly the most recognizable brand in surfboards, Channel Islands Surfboards began in 1969 when Al Merrick sought out to provide the most advanced and performance driven designs ever. Beginning as mostly a grass roots brand in Santa Barbara at Rincon, Channel Islands has grown to on the cutting edge of surfboard designs. Their boards are ridden by top pros like Kelly Slater and Rob Machado. You can check out the collection of all the latest boards like the Big Willy, Fort Knox, The Robber or go with a staple like the Flyer II. No matter which of Al Merrick’s shapes you choose, you’ll be stoked the next time you drop in!
