Introducing: the Solution

Описание: The struggle of lackluster surf is real. That’s why Britt Merrick created the Solution—CI’s most adaptable small-wave shortboard yet.

“We were hearing from friends on the East Coast that they needed something grovely, even more grovely than Better Everyday,” explains Britt. “And I felt the same based off the waves we have here most of the year.” Designed for days when the surf is soft and unmotivating, The Solution blends glide, paddle power, and versatility, so you’ll want to paddle out even when the conditions are less than desirable.

A fuller outline with a rounded tail increases planing area and drive through flat sections, while a single-to-generous double concave keeps the board quick, lively, and free underfoot. Britt’s new rocker and outline—developed during an R&D trip to Mexico—make the Solution friendly for both neutral and front-foot stances, letting you generate speed even in the weakest of waves.

The Solution is a step-down shortboard we suggest be ridden 2” shorter than your Better Everyday dims, which puts it perfectly at the lower end of your quiver range. “Straight away, the team noticed the solid glide and paddling in flat water, and off the front foot the speed was felt instantly. Even for big guys like Jacko Baker.”

The five-fin setup lets you dial in its riding characteristics to your liking. “Reef Heazlewood called it the best board he’s ever had in small waves, and he’s running his as a thruster.” add Britt. “I’ve been riding it mostly as a quad, but it’s equally fun as a thruster or 2+1 depending on the conditions.”

Whether you’re chasing glide, speed, or flow, the Solution delivers performance no matter how weak the conditions are that you pull up on. Adding to that are playful details, like Bigfoot, aliens, UFOs, and more, hidden in the logo art and custom tails patches, which adds character to a board built for serious small-wave surfing.
