Black & White

Black & White

Channel Islands
Owners Rating:
The Black & White, designed by Britt Merrick and Dane Reynolds, is a high-performance shortboard ideal for down-the-line speed and smooth rail-to-rail transitions. Inspired by Santa Barbara point breaks, it features a low entry rocker, a staged flat section between the feet, and an accelerated tail kick. The single concave runs the board’s length, deepest near the front fins, transitioning to a hint of vee at the tail block. The flat deck design provides improved flex, a solid underfoot feel, and full rails. Suitable for most surfers and conditions, it should be ridden 1/8” thinner than your normal shortboard.
