When rocking up to a crowded spot like Lowers you know better than to go head-to-head with that crew on a little chippy thing. You want a board with a bit of extra paddle and planing power, but one that still performs and lets you get critical in the pocket or take to the air when a ramp is coming at you. That’s why when the Gudauskas brothers, Yadin Nicol and Eithan Osborne recently met up for a CI Team jam session there, they knew to bring either a Rocket Wide or Neck Beard 2. The results? We’ll let you be the judge, but from where we’re sitting it looked like a pretty solid call. Rider’s Dimensions: Dane Gudauskas is on the Rocket Wide: 5’8” x 19 1/4” x 2 7/16” Eithan Osborne is on the Neck Beard 2: 5/4” x 19” x 2 3/16″ Yadin Nicol is on the Rocket Wide: 5’6” x 19” x 2 5/16” Tanner Gudauskas in on the Rocket Wide: 5’8” x 19 3/8” x 2 3/8” About the Rocket Wide: This may be the most versatile of the two. The Rocket Wide has everything you love in a good performance board’s tail surfing characteristics but seamlessly employs the paddle power and lower entry rocker of a classic groveler. This single-to-double concave design can be enjoyed as a three-fin, four-fin and two-plus-one, helping surfers easily adapt to the changing conditions.

This is the same board that Eithan won $20,000 for the highest air at the recent Stab High event (hyper link to the blog we did on him) See more on the Neck Beard 2 here || https://www.cisurfboards.com/board/ne… Shot and Edited by Sean Lesh for Channel Islands || https://www.instagram.com/seanlesh/ Additional Video by Jacob Vanderwork Channel Islands Surfboards || https://www.cisurfboards.com/ Dane Gudauskas || https://www.instagram.com/danedamus/ Eithan Osborne || https://www.instagram.com/eithanosborne/ Yadin Nicol || https://www.instagram.com/yadin_nicol/ Tanner Gudauskas || https://www.instagram.com/tannergud/
