The Solution

Name: The Solution
Brand: Channel Islands

Owners Rating:

The Solution is Britt Merrick's small-wave step-down, built with a fuller outline and rounded tail for extra planing area and drive through flat sections. Its single-to-generous double concave keeps the ride quick and lively even in weak surf, and the 5-fin setup lets it be ridden as a thruster, quad, or 2+1 depending on the conditions. Designed to be sized about 2 inches shorter than a typical groveler, it's meant for less-than-ideal, mushy waves where speed and flow matter most, suiting surfers of all levels looking to keep performance alive on flat days.
