This 5'7" New Flyer by Channel Islands Surfboards is in great condition! The deck has average pressure wear, with the bottom/belly being even cleaner! There were a couple super light and minor spots our Stray Boards repair crew made sure was made water tight - basic reseal repair! This board has some fun artwork on top ander some clear coat and is watertight, and fresh as any used boards! Just in time for Summertime!!

In the shaping bay - "The New Flyer" explained...
From Channel Islands Surfboards: "The New Flyer"
In 1999, Al Merrick designed the Flyer, revolutionizing high performance surfing in small waves. For 2013 Channel Islands has modernized the Flyer into a shorter and wider package. This new plan-shape allows for the same volume in a shorter rail line. We kept the forgiving 2-stage rocker and added spiral vee starting in front of the fins to allow for rail-to-rail quickness. The signature Merrick hip provides a pivot point for tight arcs.
The New Flyer is now available with a unidirectional carbon strip on the bottom. The carbon stiffens the middle of the board, increasing flex and bend in the tail and thereby a tighter turn radius. The carbon also reinforces the middle portion of the board against breakage with no detectable weight.
