F1RST Surf Shop just recieved the motherload!

Over 20 new Channel Islands surfboards models are now in stock! Just in time for your summer surf trips! A fresh batch of Dumpster Divers, Motorboats, and introducing the Semi Pro and The Warp!

About the Semi Pro:
Taking his favorite aspects of the Tangent and Proton, Kelly Slater designed the Semi-Pro on the computer from start to finish. Riding it to three WCT wins and a 10th world title, his design proved itself as the ultimate all-around shortboard. The Semi-Pro should be ridden shorter than usual: Kelly likes to ride them with his normal dims but his same height (5’9”). This shorter rail allows for his tight signature arcs in the pocket. Deep single concave make the board work best on rail, and ample rocker allows for deep gouging carves. With the wide point 2 inches behind center and increased nose-width, this board still handles mushy days. The Semi- Pro is changing the way professional surfers ride their boards.

WAVE HEIGHT GUIDELINES
Waist-high to well overhead.

About the Warp:
Channel Islands team rider and 1978 World Champ Shaun Tomson came to us wantingto design a board more for the middle-ageguy who still wants a performance boardbut wants to get the most out of the average waves they find themselves riding. The result was the Warp. This board features more volume, allowing for easy paddling and wave-catching. Single concave under the front foot allows for punchy drive on takeoffs
and double concave to vee provide lift andeasy rail-to-rail transitions. The Warp comes standard as a swallow tail. Ride the Warp about the same length as your Flyer.

WAVE HEIGHT GUIDELINES
Knee-high to overhead.

Also available from Channel Islands is board socks, leashes, traction and travel bags. All of these models and more are available now at F1RST Surf Shop!
