So, Channel Islands created The Solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBlending glide, paddle power, and versatility, The Solution is Britt Merrick’s most adaptable small-wave template yet. A fuller outline with a rounded tail increases planing area and drive through flat sections, while a single-to-generous double concave keeps the board quick, lively, and free underfoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Solution’s new rocker and outline are unlike anything else in the CI range - a fresh design that holds speed in weak surf yet still invites performance when the moment calls for it. A five-fin setup lets you tune how the board feels: ride as a thruster for tight, up-and-down turns; a quad for pure top-end speed; or a 2+1 for twin-fin glide and flow. Custom tail patches add strength where it counts most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe Solution is exactly that - a true step-down shortboard for less-than-ideal surf, built for speed, flow, and performance when it’s anything but pumping.

You’ll want to size this model as you would a normal shortboard.The Shorty’s staged rocker creates balanced drive and control, suiting both front- and back-footed with a large sweet spot. A subtle hip near the fins tightens turns and sharpens response in the pocket. Its high-performance outline delivers clean speed and release without losing flow, while foiled rails maintain sensitivity. Beneath, a single to-double concave runs from front foot through the fins for lift, control, and seamless rail-to-rail transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRefined power with range, The Shorty channels Mikey’s signature style from lined-up points to punchy beach breaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Go_UUyOrAM?si=rBrRItYmqi4uxM6H\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel Islands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44069846351914,"sku":null,"price":1099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/9390\/9290\/files\/1_91d65c5a-778a-4d8f-9541-2fb62b9b9ca4.png?v=1770858770"}],"url":"https:\/\/onboardstore.com.au\/collections\/new-arrivals.oembed","provider":"ONBOARD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
