Channel Islands G-Skate 5’6 Demo Surfboard – Futures

*NOT FOR SALE – RENTAL ONLY! The G Skate is built to inspire you with the signature Gudauskas brother energy Pure stoke. This fast, skatey and responsive swallow-tailed hybrid design was born of a collaboration between Britt Merrick and the three Gudauskas brothersDane, Pat & Tanner. Their goal was to create something fresh feeling that turned well in good surf but skated with ease through the not-so-good stuff. There was one major stipulation during its development: the G Skate had to still perform at the highest of levels possible. They achieved this by shortening their typical shortboard rail line by 5 and adding curves and contours in key places that would keep them on top of the water and not hinder their turns in any way. Adding a 2 1 (twin plus trailer) fin set-up tied the whole concept together. The G Skate has a lot of get up and go speed thanks to its light single to double concave, low entry rocker, wide point forwardand its contemporary shortboard rails provide all the precision and control you could ever want. This stoke-infused collaboration also yielded an all-new Merrick / Gudauskas 2 1 fin set for the G Skate, and they also found that the AMT (2 1) fin set up also works very well. The purpose of this twin plus trailer fin set-up was to offer the beautiful free feel of a twinnie yet have the refined control of a thrusterwhich is critical in creating a board that accommodates the broad spectrum of approaches between all three G Bros. For those that prefer traditional thruster set-ups, their favorite thruster set will work well in this designgiving surfers twice the options and value. The G-Skate serves as a strong utility piece in any quiver where fun and performance are the goal. Ride this board 3 to 4 shorter and the same thickness as your CI Pro.
