Channel Islands M23 Surfboard Review

[@famroberts]

I have a 7'0 in spinetek. Everything else stays on the rack now. Great board!

[@urbanrunoff]

it's such a great board. i ride it with a twin plus trailer MR style set and it has become my favorite midlength. i wish they made a 6'6" for those tight windswell waves we get at my local break

[@charleshawk6668]

I have a 7’6 I surf here in San Diego. I’m a high beginner/ low intermediate. Great board.

[@lennyboel2761]

Good to know! Can you stil duck dive with this length?

[@charleshawk6668]

@@lennyboel2761I can’t because of the high volume. The 7’6 has the length and volume, so I’ve been able to jet right out in between sets. Another thing I noticed is the 7’6 I have is easier to catch waves than a 7’10 FireWire vacay I had prior. I thought the m-23 would be harder. My wave count nearly tripled 😂

@@lennyboel2761 i duck dive the 7'0" in walled up headhigh beachbreak no problem. because it is so foiled and pulled in (for a mid length) i'd be comforable duck diving he 7'6"

@@urbanrunoffgood to know, if u don’t mind me asking how much do you weigh?

[@urbanrunoff]

@ depends on time of the year😊 173 ish pounds. we had the first “ real groundswell of the year “ and i must admit it got ripped out of my hands once or twice.

[@MindSurf248]

Would this go as a step-up for say 7ft+ days?

[@MindSurf248]

Ooh never-mind answered it well at end!

I am 6' 2" at 230lbs. What length should I go for? 7' 6" or 7' 10" was what I was thinking. I am coming from a longboard.

[@safaritown]

I'd recommend trying a few different sizes before purchasing.

[@Ozee.Aaron1234]

Yes I’m the same height as you a little heavier around 245! I was wondering the same thing as I’m coming down from a 9, 6 mctavishlongboard! The 7, 10 58L sounds the go! Only a couple litres more than the 7,8!

[@MarcRademacher]

I like it, but the JS El Baron is much superior, specially when ridden short!

Está na hora do Medina trocar de Shaper!
