#1 - Channel Islands MX 6'4", 18 1/2, 2 3/8 purchased fall 2003. This board is in good shape. The tail was cracked at rincon the first week I owned it. It was allowed to dry out and repaired to perfection. It was later cracked again and laid out to dry. A quick fix was done a few days before going to Mex. This repair was finished with it being water tight as a priority. It was lightly sanded to avoided anycracking in Mex and could use another twenty minutes of hand sanding tomake it super flush.
A small spot on the deck was also patched(basically a pinhole ding that was glossed over for water tightsecurity). The board is an ultra light glass job. Aside from a well cared for ding on the tail and typical foot impressions on the deck, this board is light, solid and works well. PRICE IS $275.00 No fins are included(FCS slots).
#2 - Channel Islands Tri Plane Hull 6' 4", 18 1/2 , 2 5/16 XTRBlank(closed Cell = No Water Absorption) Epoxy Finish (Whew!) purch winter 2003 This board is "Like New". Purchased just to try one and then not really needed. It has been surfed less than ten times and has been sitting in my garage collecting dust. This is the XTR / Epoxy version, which is reportedly much stronger and probably stiffer. It is also an ultralight.
The big difference that I noticed is that this type of blank is more bouyant than a typical blank from Clark Foam. Therefore, this board could be ridden by a heavier person(I'm clocking in at about 170lbs.) Again, its a sweet shape and standard size, high performance,light weight board. PRICE IS $375(Huge discount!) AND IT COMES WITH FINS(These are not FCS, but rather, they have one screw up front and thefins are marked "AM1"'s. Give me a ring or send an email: j.kenny AT sbappraisal DOT com.
