Channel Islands’ Weirdo Ripper

There’s nothing wrong with options. Especially when you wanna have the right sprinkling of pepper underfoot. Keeping with the ever-increasing shorter/fatter surfboard trend of this era, Channel Islands’ new shape, the Weirdo Ripper, is designed for knee to chest high slop. When a board’s conceived by Yadin Nicol, then spends a year behind the scenes in development with Kelly Slater and Dane Reynolds, you know it’s gonna work. Especially when Dane chooses said board for a contest in grovel waves (the Nike US Open). Or, when Dane gets said board stolen from his rented house in France (everybody wants!). “The Weirdo Ripper is a user friendly design, full volume for easy paddling, wide point forward, V bottom, square-winged swallow that works well as a thruster or quad,” says Channel Islands. “Ride the Weirdo 2” to 5” shorter than your height.” Hello, summer! Y’can scoop one over at Channel Islands, if you please.
