Owners Rating:

The Fever, designed by Mike Andrews with input from Patrick Gudauskas, combines the best elements of Channel Islands’ high-performance shortboards. The Stab In the Dark winner chosen by Mick Fanning features a subtle single concave, lower rocker, flat deck, and a slightly more parallel outline, offering a huge sweet spot and versatility across a wide range of conditions. The Fever excels in everything from 2-3 foot beach breaks to 6ft world tour waves, providing speed, drive, and flair. Ideal for surfers seeking a reliable and dynamic board, the Fever should be ridden in your usual shortboard dimensions for optimal performance.
