6'4 Channel Islands Al Merrick "Fever" Used EPOXY Surfboard

CONDITION: This EPOXY "Fever" model by Al Merrick's Channel Islands Surfboards is in excellent condition! The deck is super clean with just a small cluster of very light scattered pressures. The bottom/belly is nearly flawless with almost no evidence of use. There was one very small nick in the left rail, approx 6 inches up from the tail. This was professionally repaired by our in-house repair team and is flush, smooth, and 100% watertight. The only "issue" with this board is that the epoxy resin shows some premature yellowing (an unfortunate and common thing with epoxy surfboards). We rate the condition of this board a true 9.5 out of 10.0 stars. Ready to wax and rip!!

 

FROM CHANNEL ISLANDS:

The Fever has its roots in Al Merrick’s trusted and proven high-performance shortboard designs. The goal in designing this board with Mike Andrews and Patrick Gudauskas was to create a more accessible tour level performance board that anyone who jumped onto it would “instantly feel the speed and zest for creativity.” Borrowing Pat’s favorite elements of the Proton, Rookie, and MBM, and combining them with a subtle single concave and lower rocker resulted in a board with a huge sweet spot. With a slightly more parallel outline and forgiving rocker, the Fever has proven to be an all-around design that excels in a wide range of conditions and wave types.

The Fever in the words of Patrick Gudauskas: 
Overview: The Fever was born from a desire for an all-around performance board based on elements I love, Speed, Drive, and Flair.  My Goal in designing this board with Mike Andrews and Channel Islands was to create a surfboard that I could surf in almost any conditions and have a hell of a good time on it.  I wanted a more accessible Tour Performance board that anyone who jumped onto it would instantly feel the speed and zest for creativity.

Conditions: I like to surf my Fever in anything from 2-3 foot softer California style beach break and point break waves, to 6ft+ World Tour style waves, like Snapper, J Bay, Bells, Lowers, Haleiwa, and Backdoor.  I prefer to ride it just above my groveler/small wave board, and all the way until I need a step-up or round tail surfboard.
