The Channel Islands Surfboard Legacy

What Channel Islands Surfboards represents in the California surfboard industry

The Legacy

Channel Islands Surfboards -- the Santa Barbara shaping operation that Al Merrick founded in 1969 and that has shaped for Kelly Slater, Tom Curren, and most of the world title tour field across four decades -- is the California surfboard brand that most consistently represents the specific connection between the world competitive performance and the California design tradition that has produced the modern shortboard.

The Current Operation

The current operation: Channel Islands has expanded from the pure custom shaping that Merrick built into the production board business that the volume required to sustain the operation demands, while maintaining the custom shaping operation that the team riders and the serious performance surfers who want the specific Merrick approach to their boards continue to access. The production and the custom coexist.
