Al Merrick Neckbeard 2

NECKBEARD 2

We love how much drive this board has due to the single concave. The Neckbeard 2  loves the pocket and pivots very quickly without sliding and maintains speed throughout all different spots of the wave. A good groveler is one of the hardest boards to get right and Channel Islands really nailed it with this board.

This board is an absolute weapon in average surf!. If there's room in your quiver for a groveler, you can't go wrong with the NB2.

A big fan of single concave, Dane asked Britt to take out the vee from the original Neck Beard, creating single throughout. This changed the rocker landscape some, but in a very positive way—enhancing its wave entry, down-the-line speed, and overall control. They also widened the tail block 1/2” and added a slight hip, resulting in increased responsiveness and maneuverability.

What fins set up do we recommend for the CI Neckbeard 2?

Dane prefers the Neck Beard 2 as a tri-fin, but those that like quads may notice added down-the-line speed. It comes with a five-fin setup to get the best of both worlds.  Available in both PU/PE and EPS Spine-Tek
