Some more beautiful cinematography from Quiksilver’s latest boardshort campaign, Cypervision.  The Slo-Mo clips are amazing and worth a watch- maybe a few times. Check it all out on Surfline.com here.

Yadin Nicol’s Twinny Cluster – a 5′4” x 19 5/8″ x 2 1/2″

Yadin Nicol's five fin set up

If you’re curious to know what Dane is riding on his January 26 post (slopey slalom single ski) on his website http://www.marinelayerproductions.com/ I believe he is riding Yadin’s 5-4 set up as a quad .  If you guys have any questions on any other boards you see him on,  email info@cisurfboards.com and we will do our best to answer them.

If you could take home just one of these boards, which one would you pick?

Dane Reynolds Channel Islands Trade Ins

Sometimes its fun just to line up a few of the trade ins from our team and give them a good look from above. Here are some of Dane Reynolds’ boards from 2009. Listed from left to right we have:

  1. 5′ 7″ EPS Dumpster Diver, (originally a sharp square tail , we reshaped tail into a squash to see if it would change performance some)
  2. “The Otter Pop” this is the first board Dane shaped himself. He did it from a raw blank and used a planer for the first time – the whole nine yards.
  3. 5′ 7” Dumpster Diver Dane got second on at Trestles.
  4. 6′2” Proton , with the Thomas Cambell artwork,
  5. The infamous 5′ 6″ Molecule which Dane rode a bit at Duranbah during snapper last year as well as on a few photo trips .

Kelly Slater Experiments with the Chunnel

Water is compressed over the hole. As it passes over, it draws air into the Chunnel (channel/tunnel). It is the principal of the U class racing boats on pontoons. Each side panel is veed out with hard concaves toward the rails. Check out the pic of the hole.

How do you think this one is going to go? Will it make it’s debut at Snapper Rocks? What are your thoughts?

Rob Machado's Finless Alaia

Standard finless alaia ,only foam and glass. Two side biter concaves to the convex rail at tail. Have to lay up the carbon flap so when rob steps on the tail the finlets pictured above pop out the bottom. Other wise when trimmimg it rides like an alaia.
