Product Construction
Polyurethane/Polyester Resin
Building a board in PU means using a Polyurethane foam blank and glassing it with polyester (PE) resin . This is how the majority of today’s surfboards are built. It is not a new way to make a board, but the materials are very stable, strong, consistent, and easy to work with. Many surfers prefer the feel of PU boards because that is what they have ridden all their lives, and because they feel really good.
Ultra Light 4+4/4
UL is standard on all shortboards 6'4 and under with two full layers of 4oz. deck and one full layer of 4oz. bottom result in a high performance stock glass job.
Additional Info
When launching the CI Pro, both rockers had been tested and proven to work well in a wide array of conditions. Since that time Channel Islands has discovered that much of the their team likes the CI Pro curve and others prefer the 2.Pro curve, both being widely used by the team globally for over a year. While considering the waves to be surfed in the 2022 SITD we thought the more rockered out version would complement the power and shape of the waves in Hawaii, as well as Jack Robinson’s surfing. When looking at this years’ contest, Channel Islands had a sneaking suspicion the surfer was Italo Ferreira. Taking into consideration his style of surfing and the wide variety of waves that might be encountered in Brazil, they felt that the slightly less rockered 2.Pro would be the right fit.
Maintaining the goal of ultimate performance, the 2.Pro introduces added speed via the reduced rocker, making it easier to surf for a wider range of surfers in a greater variety of waves. Having a ¼” less overall rocker compared to the CI Pro, the 2.Pro maintains the same subtle single concave to slight double through the fins allowing the board to sit in the water and create that familiar connected feeling through transitions.
The experience for Channel Islands has been, if someone was a fan of the CI Pro, the 2.Pro enhances their quiver as some team riders will order the 2.Pro for lesser conditions; if someone was intimidated by the CI Pro, the 2.Pro opens up new possibilities to them.
