Low Stock Numbers!

  • The Channel Islands Solution PC Quad Rear Set is designed by Britt Merrick and is based off the popular CI Upright template, built to pair seamlessly with the upright CI side fins. This rear set delivers a fast, responsive quad setup with a focus on speed, control, and tight, pivot-driven turns.

    Featuring a neutral-raked template and refined 80/20 foil, these fins provide a balanced feel underfoot—offering stability and hold through critical sections while still allowing for quick release and direction changes. Developed in collaboration with Channel Islands Surfboards, the Solution Quad Rears excel in punchy, hollow waves where speed and responsiveness are essential.

    Constructed in Performance Core material, these fins are lightweight with a progressive flex pattern, helping maintain drive through turns while offering versatility across a wide range of conditions.

  • Performance Core


    Performance Core (PC) fins are made using a multi-layered resin transfer moulding process.
