5'7" Channel Islands Surfboards "G-Skate" - Used Groveler Shortboard Surfboard

LENGTH: 5'7" WIDTH: 20" THICKNESS: 2 5/8" VOLUME: 33L FIN SYSTEM: FUTURES FIN SETUP: 2+1 / THRUSTER FINS INCLUDED: NO CONDITION: This lightly-used "G Skate" model from Channel Islands Surfboards is in excellent condition. The deck has a small handful of very light pressures - mostly under the front foot. The belly is really clean with very little evidence of wear. There were a few repairs to note: One on the belly, approx mid board toward the left rail. This was a pinhole we wanted to ensure was 100% watertight. The 2nd was on the tail tip. The 3rd repair is on the right rail (looking from the belly), just above mid-board. All repairs were done professionally and are flush, smooth, and fully watertight. This CI GSkate is a solid 9.0 out of 10.0 stars! Ready to wax and RIP!!! FROM CHANNEL ISLANDS: The G Skate is built to inspire you with the signature Gudauskas brother energy – Pure stoke. This fast, skatey and responsive swallow-tailed hybrid design was born of a collaboration between Britt Merrick and the three Gudauskas brothers—Dane, Pat & Tanner. Their goal was to create something fresh feeling that turned well in good surf but skated with ease through the not-so-good stuff. There was one major stipulation during its development: the G Skate had to still perform at the highest of levels possible. They achieved this by shortening their typical shortboard rail line by 5” and adding curves and contours in key places that would keep them on top of the water and not hinder their turns in any way. Adding a 2 + 1 (twin plus trailer) fin set-up tied the whole concept together. The G Skate has a lot of get up and go speed thanks to its light single to double concave, low entry rocker, wide point forward—and its contemporary shortboard rails provide all the precision and control you could ever want. The purpose of this twin plus trailer fin set-up was to offer the beautiful “free feel” of a twinnie yet have the refined control of a thruster—which is critical in creating a board that accommodates the broad spectrum of approaches between all three G Bros. For those that prefer traditional thruster set-ups, their favorite thruster set will work well in this design—giving surfers twice the options and value. The G-Skate serves as a strong utility piece in any quiver where fun and performance are the goal. Check out this board and more at (https://offerup.com/redirect/?o=d3d3LlN0cmF5Qm9hcmRzLmNvbQ==)
