Channel Islands Surfboard X-lite M23

The M23 comes from the legendary M13 bloodline, a popular hybrid board that Al Merrick designed for himself and has surfed for decades in various forms - from fun Rincon to maximum Sunset. A true high-performance hybrid that caters to a variety of surfing styles, surfers of different sizes - and the most diverse wave conditions. Don't confuse it with the CI Mid, as the M23 has more volume, a fuller rail, and a thinner nose outline. It’s easy to paddle and behaves like a shortboard.

TORQ X-LITE TECHNOLOGY
The Torq X-Lite technology takes already innovative epoxy construction to unexpected levels in terms of weight and performance.
The core of the boards is made from a specially manufactured high-precision EPS blank, covered with biaxial cloth and epoxy resin. On the deck of the X-Lite boards, an additional layer of Impact Mesh is incorporated to evenly distribute shock pressure on the surface and thus protect against dings and heel dents.
The underside features a carbon strip that resists twisting, which controls flex and makes the board incredibly responsive.
The X-Lite construction stands out from traditional PU/polyester construction due to its more eco-friendly production process and unmatched weight-to-strength ratio.
