CI - NEW FLYER - TUFLITE - AL MERRICK

In 1999, a new surfboard design hit the waves and left a transformative impact on high performance surfing. This board was the "Flyer," masterfully designed by Al Merrick. Known for revolutionizing surfing in small waves, the Flyer brought a unique blend of design elements that catered to surf enthusiasts and professionals alike. Fast forward to today, Channel Islands Surfboards, a renowned brand in the world of surfing, has rejuvenated the Flyer. The modernized design maintains the spirit of the original Flyer while adapting to the evolving needs of contemporary surfers.

Improved Design and Tuflite Technology

A significant shift in the modernized Flyer design is the transition to a shorter, wider package. Despite the reduced rail line, the board retains the same volume as the original design. This change was driven by a need for increased maneuverability without sacrificing buoyancy - a vital requirement for high-performance surfing. At the heart of this transformation is the integration of Tuflite technology. Known for enhancing the durability and performance of surfboards, Tuflite technology brings increased strength, lighter weight, and improved flexibility to the Flyer, making it a more resilient choice for surfers.

Enhanced Performance Features

But it's not just the shape and construction technology that's been enhanced. The modernized Flyer also boasts a forgiving two-stage rocker, providing a fine balance between speed and maneuverability. Adding to this is the introduction of a spiral "V," starting just in front of the fins. This design modification facilitates quick, rail-to-rail transitions - a feature appreciated by many surfers for its contribution to responsive handling. All these characteristics are complemented by the robustness provided by the Tuflite technology, making the new Flyer a board that promises an exhilarating surfing experience.

The modernized Flyer from Channel Islands Surfboards encapsulates the enduring legacy of Al Merrick's original design while embracing the advancements of contemporary surfboard technology. Whether you're a professional surfer seeking a high-performance board or an enthusiast looking for a reliable companion on the waves, the Flyer stands as a testament to the ever-evolving world of surfing.
