Channel Islands Solution by Britt Merrick PU 5 Fin FCS II

The Channel Islands CI Solution is a high-performance small-wave surfboard designed to maximize speed, flow, and responsiveness in everyday conditions. Featuring a fuller outline and rounded tail, this board offers increased planing area, allowing you to generate speed effortlessly even in weaker, slower waves. Its advanced bottom contour, combining a single to double concave, enhances water flow and lift. This keeps the board fast, lively, and reactive under your feet, making it easier to maintain momentum when the surf lacks power.

What sets the CI Solution apart is its completely redesigned rocker and outline bringing a fresh approach to the Channel Islands range. This modern shape helps surfers maintain speed in small surf while still allowing progressive performance when conditions improve. The versatile five-fin setup lets you fine-tune your ride:

• Thruster: For tight, vertical turns and control
• Quad: For maximum speed and drive
• 2+1 Setup: For smooth flow and twin-fin style glide

Reinforced tail patches add durability in high-pressure areas without compromising the board’s lightweight performance feel.

Designed by Britt Merrick, the CI Solution lives up to its name as the go-to step-down shortboard for small waves and daily surf. It’s ideal for those sessions when conditions are less than perfect but you still want to surf at your best. For optimal performance, it’s recommended to ride this board approximately two inches shorter than your Channel Islands Better Everyday, positioning it perfectly as your small-wave weapon within your quiver. With its combination of speed, glide, and control, the CI Solution is built to keep your performance high even when the waves are not.
