Al Merrick CI 2.PRO Surfboard FCSII 3 Fin 5'11"

The CI 2.0 PRO features the same outline and bottom that won the SITD 2022 with Jack Robinson, but uses a reduced rocker to better suit the surf style and waves expected in 2023.

When the CI Pro was released, both rockers were tested and proved to perform well in a wide range of conditions. Since then, CI found that many riders on the Al Merrick team prefer the CI Pro rocker, while others favor the 2.Proboth have been used extensively by the team worldwide for over a year.

Considering the waves surfed at Stab in the Dark 2022, Channel Islands believed the higher rocker version would complement the power and shape of the Hawaiian waves, as well as Jack Robinsons surfing style. Looking ahead to this years contest, CI anticipated that the surfer would be Italo Ferreira. Taking into account his surfing style and the wide variety of waves in Brazil, they created a new version of the 2023-winning CI PROthe CI 2.0 PRO, but with slightly less rocker.

With the goal of maximum performance, the Al Merrick 2.Pro delivers greater speed thanks to the reduced rocker, making it easier to ride for a wider range of surfers in more varied wave conditions. With ¼" less rocker overall compared to the CI Pro, the 2.Pro maintains the same subtle single concave that transitions into a slight double concave through the fins, allowing the board to stay connected to the water and provide that familiar flow during transitions.
