Britt Merrick Breaks Down the new Channel Islands FishBeard

Parker Coffin said it first: “A NeckBeard 2 would work sick as a keel-fin fish!” So we go 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.
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-80’s, fluorescent logos and recreated CI’s iconic layup from that era.

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe!

[@MarleyOrdonezPOV]

Looks like a sick board!🔥🔥🔥

[@xwhite2020]

SALESMAN, This board has everything a fish has plus more. REALITY, That's impossible.

[@foxgd88]

Not, it’s like a cruise carvy short board that works on better conditions because it’s hp and fishy

[@mikeymeyer5023]

Wide nose straighter rail into the tail (retro fish) gives u a different ride,not to say there is anything wrong with that type of outline.

[@SlavaandKaren]

It looks cool but I don’t understand the purpose of it in my quiver.. like do I buy it for small waves or for medium waves or for what?

[@brodykuhn6029]

It’s for small waves. It’s supposed to be fast and loose. Similar to the neckbeard 2 but faster and looser. If you already have a small wave board than it can be your twin fin in your quiver. For when you want to go fast and relax.

My next board

[@alexguyer1263]

Hey Britt, What size do you ride?

[@zentrader1734]

Anyone got some insight on choosing volume on this one? I usually ride 30 in my daily drivers which sits in between 5'8 (29.2) and 5'9 (30.7)...not sure which one to get.

[@jenniferbodendoerfer7130]

Dennis Imhof go with the 5’9 if you haven’t already if you are going stock it feels great riding it slightly bigger.

[@daxtertalon4]
