has anyone heard of this board?? Its dane reynolds new channel islands board model. it looks awesome. but does anyone know if its gona be sold in shops soon??
Yeah that board looks sick I want to try it and possibly get it. Its suppose to come out soon along with the new altered MTF. It will prob come out in a couple of months.
mass produced on a machine. I'd call them pop outs. High priced and reasonably well constructed pop out but pop outs none the less.
not sure on the exact time frame...but, I have seen them around for the last couple years. Probably been doing them for years though.
Not sure about the exact timeframe but I know they've been doing most of their production blanks C&C for quite some time. Even their 'customs' are machined and then hand finished.
Depends on how much a person want to define custom I guess. My biggest beef with CI isn't that their boards are sh*tty (although I think their glass jobs are suspect), it's that there are so many talented local guys who can make a similar or better shape. Why buy a board based on hype and advertising? Now, granted there are probably a few guys who have been with CI for a long time and they established that relationship early but way too many people buy a board based on what they read in mags or see some pro riding when they really should talk to a local shaper to get a board that works for them in our waves.
Freedom freedom surf shop in virginia beach has the dumpster diver and the new wizard sleeve, for kelly. check it out....
I belive Summer Sun Surf Shop in Cape May has them if not he can get them . I was in there a while back looking at The MSF (single fin) and he siad he can get anything CI has on there website
AKA: you preach the local shaper angle on hear EVERY TIME a board question comes up... How can you be sure a local shaper has the experience in shaping and glassing to buy one??? You can't. The ONLY local shapers i have heard good things about and would buy a custom from are Wynn and Cosmic Bull... What's your agenda? Are you a local shaper? Just wondering, not starting more beef on this thread...
it's my next board, fer sur! square tail block, 3 finz all thu way... http://cisurfboards.com/sb_Dumpster-Diver.asp contact Al 4 more info... info@cisurfboards.com
