Why choose the CI Mid Twin Al Merrick surfboard?

The CI Mid Twin Al Merrick surfboard, developed by Channel Islands, reinvents the brand’s famous mid-length board by incorporating all the freedom of a twin-fin setup. Designed in close collaboration with Devon Howard, this twin-fin version retains the fundamental qualities of the original model whilst transforming the feel on the wave.

A twin-fin setup for greater speed and responsiveness

The absence of a centre fin profoundly alters the board’s behaviour: it completely frees up the glide and delivers instant speed. The twin-fin setup offers incredible pivot, allowing for tighter turns and excellent acceleration. The CI Mid Twin thus offers significantly livelier and more dynamic manoeuvrability under the rear foot, catering to surfers keen to combine the elegance of a mid-length board with maximum responsiveness.

Ultra-easy paddling and a smooth ride

One of the major strengths of this Al Merrick surfboard lies in its excellent paddling ability. Its generous outline and well-distributed volume allow the board to cut through the water effortlessly. This means you can catch the wave very early and double your wave count per session. Furthermore, the shape has been subtly adjusted by Channel Islands to adapt perfectly to the specific characteristics of the twin-fin setup.
