OG Flyer EPS - ECT- 3 Fin
Introducing the all-time most popular design: The Flyer. In 1999, Al Merrick sought a solution to team riders’ need for more speed and flow in lesser waves while maintaining high-performance, world tour-level surfing. The answer was The Flyer, a board that departed from the then overly narrow designs and set the stage for the modern performance shortboard, now wider and shorter. The Flyer stands as the most ridden and enjoyed all-around board in Channel Islands’ history.
THE FLYER HAS;
- Versatile Design: Ideal as an everyday board for everyday conditions.
- Optimised Contours: Single concave entry transitioning to a double through the middle, with a vee exit for enhanced speed and maneuverability.
- Signature Shape: Al Merrick’s bump squash tail, slight down rail, and a subtle nose beak.
- Perfect Sizing: Designed to be ridden approximately the same length as the surfer's height.
