On Episode 5 of Season 2, I feature the Channel Islands Mid. This board was the curve ball for the season coming at 7’6”, where most of the boards were short twin fins. However, it did meet the brief, which was boards that make summer waves fun. At over 50 liters of volume it paddled and caught waves like a dream, but I was amazed at how high the performance curve was. Mid are very in focus right now and with this board it is not hard to see why.
Model: MidLength
7’6 x 21 2/4 x 2 5/8
Volume: 51.8L
Fins: My first session was on the supplied CI 2x1 fins, with a 6cm Central fin (Made locally by Maisch) and my second session I used the Scarfini Bamboo 2x1 Set with a 7.5 Central Fin.
Accommodation was on the Point at Vic Bay with a 1 minute walk to the channel and a view of the point. We also stayed OuterPool, Mossel Bay, with walking distance to the paddle out for Outers and Inner Pool. I highly recommend booking if you want easy access to great, consistent waves and very low crowds.
