Meet the CI Pro - Stab in the Dark 2022 season champ! 

Britt’s award winning and newest shortboard design, as seen under the feet of Jack Robinson on Stab in the Dark, was made in collaboration with Parker Coffin.

The most rockered board in Channel Islands current line, the CI Pro is the pinnacle of high performance. The continuous rocker which is curviest beneath your feet allows for quick directional changes while the low curve out the back maximizes projection. The CI Pro's minimal single concave with a very slight double through the fins causes the board to sit in the water and creates a more connected feel at high speeds and through your turns. The curvier outline matched with soft, tucked rails provide for extreme rail to rail surfing.

To put it concisely, the CI Pro lets you do whatever you want without thinking. 


Here's what Stab has to say:

Britt Merrick worked with long time team rider Parker Coffin to develop the SITD winning sled, which was a tuned-up iteration of the best-selling Two Happy model. “We chose this board for SITD because it’s the latest, most high-performance thing that we are working on. We wanted more curve, and the ability to turn in tighter pockets, and so we just kept tweaking the rocker together,” said Britt after winning. 

Of course, Parker enjoyed the process. “There really was a lot of direct communication back and forth with Britt,” he says. “I feel like he is a really understanding shaper, so the more I could communicate what I was trying to feel and where I wanted the board to do what, we just kept moving on little things like that. We made incremental changes throughout it all and then we got to where we got. I felt like the true validation that we got, that we created something special, was that it translated to other surfers. Even as it started being distributed through the team, other surfers had success on it and the cherry on the top was the fact that Jack rode it in SITD and ultimately gave it the win.”
In Parker’s evaluation, the best features of the board are how fast and hard you can turn in the critical parts of the wave. Explaining that “if you can do that, and flow from maneuver to maneuver that’s when you have a good surfboard.”

That sentiment was echoed in Jack’s explanation of what makes a good shortboard, which he laid out in Episode 1 of Stab In The Dark: “You want to be surfing with no limits, you want to be flowing through turns with no glitches, going around corners as fast as you can, and to be linking turns as fast as you can. That’s what a shortboard is meant to do. It should do whatever you want, without thinking.”
