THE SOLUTION - SMALL WAVE PERFORMANCE SURFBOARD

Built For: Small Wave Performance

The struggle of lackluster surf is real. So, Channel Islands created The Solution.

Blending glide, paddle power, and versatility, The Solution is Britt Merrick’s most adaptable small-wave template yet. A fuller outline with a rounded tail increases planing area and drive through flat sections, while a single-to-generous double concave keeps the board quick, lively, and free underfoot.

The Solution’s new rocker and outline are unlike anything else in the CI range - a fresh design that holds speed in weak surf yet still invites performance when the moment calls for it. A five-fin setup lets you tune how the board feels: ride as a thruster for tight, up-and-down turns; a quad for pure top-end speed; or a 2+1 for twin-fin glide and flow. Custom tail patches add strength where it counts most.

The Solution is exactly that - a true step-down shortboard for less-than-ideal surf, built for speed, flow, and performance when it’s anything but pumping. Designed to be ridden 2” shorter than your Better Everyday, The Solution sits perfectly at the lower end of your quiver - ready to solve whatever small-wave struggles you pull up on.

Keeping all the characteristics that make the HE a great stepdown performance board…in the Better Everyday, the trademark hip is relaxed, allowing the board to be smoother off the bottom and opens the range in slightly larger waves. Swallow tail gives more bite and hold while maintaining the loose feeling characterised with the board.

Increased flip out the tail on the Better Everyday loosens up the board out of the top of the lip creating a positive feeling out of the top while the decreased hip is a more positive feeling off the bottom.

The board comes stock with five fin boxes. Designed as a quad originally Britt also created a special quad set to perfectly compliment the boards characteristics. The fin set combines more upright front fins and raked back fins that give the board the zing and hold to go to the next level.
