5'6" Al Merrick Channel Islands "Fish Beard" Spine-Tek Epoxy Used Surfboard

CONDITION: This 'Fish Beard' is in great condition! The deck has light to medium pressures scattered about, but mostly under foot. The belly is really clean with just a small number of tiny pressures, approx mid-board and toward the left rail. There have been a few repairs made to the board: in between the swallow tail (looks like damage from the leash or leash string), on the belly just left of the Al Merrick logo, and along the left rail approx 12" below the nose. All repairs were done professionally and are flush, smooth, and fully water tight. Ready to wax and surf!

 

FROM CHANNEL ISLANDS:

Parker Coffin said it first: “A NeckBeard 2 would work sick as a twin-fin fish!” So we got to work redesigning the back half of the NB2 template and rocker, paired the board with our CI Keel Fins, and the FishBeard was born.

A sleeker, more performance-ready design than the CI Fish, the FishBeard is pure business in the front and all party in the back. Get forward on this user-friendly board and drive from the center and you’ll have all the speed and flow you always desired. Step back on the tail to engage the fins and rails, which provides you hold, pivot, projection, and the freedom to rip as hard as ever. To keep the party going, we dug into the archives and found some vintage mid-’80s, fluorescent logos and recreated CI’s iconic layup from that era.

For maximum performance, we highly recommend pairing the board with CI Keel Fins. Although inspired by classic keel outlines, the all-new AMK template boasts a modern rake shape, graduated tip flex and flat inside foils finely tuned for fast, high-performance surfing. This keel-fin design is built to rip but also ideal for those that just want to groove.
