Channel Islands Black Flag Whip Surfboard - 2012

Channel Islands Black Flag Whip Surfboard - 2012

Part of Kelly Slater's small-wave arsenal, the Channel Islands Black Flag Whip Surfboard provides you with a fast, responsive board that kills it in knee- to head-high surf.

• Two top layers and one bottom layer of high performance fiberglass wrap the ultralight, responsive polyurethane core
• Shorter wider Whip outline and single-to-double Tri Plane Hull bottom enable a faster board and provide a more responsive feel than the previous single concave version
• Double concave deck gets your feet closer to the water line
• Carbon fiber strips inlaid from the nose to the leading fins concentrate the flex in the tail, thus providing more spring out of turns
• Half moon tail breaks up the rail line and gives the board more release out of the top of the wave
• Five-fin setup (fins sold separately) offers a ton of versatility for varied conditions and styles
• Channel Islands recommends ridding the Black Flag Whip three-to-four inches smaller than your shortboard, 1/4-inch wider, and roughly the same thickness
• Ideal for use in knee- to head-high surf and by intermediate to expert surfers

Bottom Line: The board that just about covers it all.
