Neck Beard 3

When something isn't broke, there's no need to fix it. That said, Britt Merrick and Dane Reynolds still felt a few slight refinements would make an already epic board that much better. And it did: The merits of our original NeckBeard's update (aka NeckBeard 2) were seen in Dane's surf film "The Electric Acid Surfboard Test."

 A big fan of single concave, Dane asked Britt to take out the vee from the original NeckBeard, creating single throughout. This changed the rocker landscape some, but in a very positive way- enhancing its wave entry, down-the-line speed, and overall control.

 They also widened the tail block 1/2" and added a slight hip, resulting in increased responsiveness and maneuverability.

 In our 3.0 tweak to this great design, we updated only the tail by rounding out its signature square block. While the NeckBeard 3 is the exact same shape in every other way, its new tail design makes this skatey, angular turning air board more versatile by providing smoother transitions in the pocket and buttery carves out on the face - not to mention better hold and more confidence in the barrel.

 

PU

PU construction refers to a surfboard built from a polyurethane blank with polyester resin. This has long been the standard construction for surfboards and although does not have the longevity of epoxy resin, offers the most most affordable option.

SpineTek

SHAPERS SPINE-TEK® Replaces traditional timber stringers with a precision engineered composite spine, combining innovation and technology to deliver optimal flex based performance.Designed through the principles of elastic potential energy, SPINE-TEK® allows the surfboard to flex, load up on energy and then spring back to its natural rocker curve with drive, speed, power, and flow.

ECT

Channel Islands Surfboards’ Eco Carbon Tech (ECT): a new carbon hand lamination that will level-up your performance. ECT built boards are livelier, stronger, familiar-feeling underfoot, and environmentally responsible.

ECT boards are hand-built by the same crew of surfers that have been crafting your boards for years.  Available in PU/PE and EPS/Epoxy constructions, ECT can be custom ordered on any board allowing your board to be built just for you and never leaving you stuck between sizes.

For those wanting to take their surfing performance to the next level, look no further than Channel Islands’ ECT built boards.
