Channel Islands OG Flyer

Channel Islands all-time most popular design is The Flyer.  In 1999 Al was searching for a solution to team riders’ dilemma of needing more speed and flow in lesser waves while maintaining high performance, world tour level surfing.  The answer was a board that departed from the then overly narrow designs and set the stage for the modern performance shortboard that is now wider and shorter.  The Flyer is easily the most ridden and enjoyed all around board in our history.

Best as an everyday board in everyday conditions, the OG Flyer has a single concave entry to double through the middle and a vee exit, Al’s signature bump squash, slight down rail, and a subtle nose beak.  To be ridden approximately the same length as you are tall.
