The Channel Islands Neckbeard 2 Spine-Tek surfboard is an update to the super popular Neckbeard surfboard by Dane Reynolds. These slight tweaks resulted inincreased responsiveness and maneuverability in the board. When something isn't broke, there's no need to fix it. That said, Britt Merrick and Dane Reynolds still felt a few slight refinements would make an already epic board that much better. And it did: The merits to this update can be seen in Dane's new surf film "The Electric Acid Surfboard Test." A big fan of single concave, Dane asked Britt to turn the original Neckbeard's double concave to 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. 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.
