Channel Island Surfboard G Skate

Channel Island Surfboard G Skate

The G Skate embodies the infectious stoke of the Gudauskas brothers, Dane, Pat & Tanner – a blend of pure energy and excitement. This hybrid design, crafted in collaboration with Britt Merrick, is fast, skatey, and responsive, featuring a swallow-tailed shape. Designed to excel in both good and challenging surf conditions, the G Skate maintains high-performance standards. By shortening the typical shortboard rail line by 5" and strategically adding curves and contours, it ensures smooth transitions and top-notch maneuverability. The 2 + 1 fin setup enhances its versatility, providing the freedom of a twin fin with the precision of a thruster. With its light single to double concave, low entry rocker, and contemporary shortboard rails, the G Skate delivers exceptional speed, precision, and control. Plus, the collaboration introduces an all-new Merrick / Gudauskas 2 + 1 fin set, alongside compatibility with the AMT (2 + 1) fin setup. Whether ridden as a twin fin or thruster, the G Skate promises endless fun and performance. Optimal performance is achieved when ridden 3" to 6" shorter than your CI Pro board, maintaining the same thickness.
