Founded by Al Merrick in 1969, Channel Islands has shaped world titles for three generations, from Tom Curren through to Kelly Slater's historic run. Britt Merrick now leads the brand as second-generation head shaper, carrying his father's design language into boards built for elegant, powerful, high-performance surfing.
