The Channel Islands Black and White is a Dane Reynolds-inspired performance surfboard designed for good, lined-up waves, typically chest-high and up. It excels in point breaks and similar reef breaks, offering good drive and speed down the line thanks to its single concave transitioning to a V in the tail. The board features a relatively low entry rocker that is gentle and not too extreme, contributing to stability without feeling too skittish, especially in flatter sections of the wave. Its fuller rails, which stiffen up near the fins, provide a pivoting feel off the back foot and facilitate turn initiation with a generous squash tail. The Black and White is considered a more usable performance shortboard compared to some others on the market, making it a good option for surfers looking for a step-up board or for those who ride point breaks. It is not recommended for smaller, mushier, or windy, choppy conditions. The board is available in stock dimensions, with a 6'0" model offering 29.2 liters of volume. The reviewer suggests sizing based on your height and desired volume, considering the type of waves you intend to surf.
