POLLYWOG IS STOKED TO BRING THIS CHANNEL ISLAND SURFBOARD TO ITS SHOPPERS!
In 1999, Al Merrick designed the Flyer, revolutionizing high performance surfing in small waves. Channel Islands South Africa has modernized the Flyer into a shorter and wider package. This new plan-shape allows for the same volume in a shorter rail line. We kept the forgiving 2-stage rocker and added spiral vee starting in front of the fins to allow for rail-to-rail quickness. The signature Merrick hip provides a pivot point for tight arcs at waves like Jeffery's Bay, Seal Point, Vic Bay and the plethora of points all the way up the East coast of South Africa.
The New Flyer is now available with a unidirectional carbon strip. The carbon stiffens the middle of the board, increasing flex and bend in the tail and thereby a tighter turn radius. The carbon also reinforces the middle portion of the board against breakage with no detectable weight.
Now also available with carbon strip bottom to concentrate flex at the tail and strengthen against breaking.
FEATURES:
- FINS: Thruster or Quad
- TAIL: Swallow or Squash
- EXPERIENCE: Intermediate - Expert
- IDEAL WAVE SIZE: Knee - Head
