It all started on the Merrick Family fishing trips… With a keen eye, Al would observe the river water moving over the rocks, noting how the different shapes and formations changed the water flow and created turbulence. He’d then take sticks of varying shapes and sizes and see how they’d pivot and react as he twisted them against the water flow, all the while thinking of surfboards and fins. What Al observed would become the foundation for CI’s library of world-renowned surfboard rockers and the original FCS CI fin template. A fin template that would grow in popularity to become one of the most widely used with recreational and professionals alike.
The new CI Upright came from a need to balance the CI fin offering. Where the original, highly raked CI fin is more suited to classic down-the-line thrust and drawn out turns, the reality is, most surfers are riding smaller waves and beach breaks that require quicker turns, and a fin that allows for more pivot.
Going back to those sticks in the river… Al and son Britt recognised a flat, straight stick turned really quickly against the current. In this case, the flat stick represents a fin with minimal rake… an upright fin.
“You’ll find the CI Upright will help you in small waves and steep, quick waves, any time where you need quickness of response and the ease of top to bottom transitions”. – Britt Merrick
