Weitere Selection Guide
The table serves as a guideline for the selection of a normal surfskate. However, nothing is set in stone. Depending on the application and purpose, the table can also be ignored: For example, if you are looking for a mini cruiser surf skate for the city and are taller than 180cm, can easily do this with a board under 30". Conversely, someone who is lighter and wants to ride long carves or cover more distance can take a longer board, take a longer board. Are you unsure between two different lengths of surf skate? What is the main area of use for the board? If you are more likely to be out and about on the road and want to cover longer distances, then opt for the longer board. If you want to take your surf skate to the skate park or the bowl, then take the shorter version. *The board length is given in inches. |

Skateboard Selection Guide
The two decisive factors for the right size of skateboard are the wheelbase and the width of the skateboard deck. A shorter wheelbase makes it easier to turn the skateboard and turns are easier in general. A wider skateboard shape makes it easier to position and place the feet and offers more stability when skating. The tables above are used to select the right skateboard for children or teenagers. Adults usually skateboards with a wheelbase between 14.2" and 14.7". The width of the board varies between 8.25" and 10" for adults and depends on shoe and body size as well as personal preference and use. In general, slightly wider boards are easier to ride and offer more stability, especially in the bowl or mini ramp. *The board dimensions are given in inches. |

Surfboard Selection Guide
A surfboard must offer enough buoyancy so that you can paddle comfortably, start waves and land safely on the board during take-off. A surfboard that is too small will be no fun if you suddenly only get two waves per surf session. Conversely, the surfboard shouldn't be too big for you either. After all, you want to reach the next surf level, practise turns or learn the duck dive. A very good indicator of which board suits your surfing level, your weight, your surfing experience and your surfing fitness, is the volume of the surfboard measured in liters. Use the tables above to find the right volume for you. |
Al Merrick - Channel Islands Surfboards - CI Rocket 9
Ein kurzes Shortboard für Speed und Flow in normalen Surfbedingungen - entwickelt von Shaper Mike Andrews und Pro Surfer Dane Gadauskas. Das Rocket 9 kommt richtig zum Leben mit einem 2+1 Fin Setup, Twin Fins plus einer kleinen Trailer Finne in der Mitte.
"The Rocket9 is suited to your average waves like we find around California. It works great in beach breaks because it can be skatey when you want to generate that speed, but then you step back on that tail and you can absolutely hammer some vert wall. I also think that with the shorter nature of it, it fits really well in the tighter transitions of beach breaks. I have ridden it on big open walls of some point breaks in Morocco and it went well too, kind of like a little scalpel or snowboard, but I think the optimal range for this board would be 2 to 6 foot beach breaks.
The Rocket9 outline has the wide point forward a bit and the tail is pulled in making it super snappy and maneuverable. The swallow gives a great fast release as well. One of the major desires for this board was I wanted was to go fast and then turn hard when I wanted in waves ranging from super average California beach breaks all the way to grinding little tubes. It’s one of the most versatile boards I have ever ridden.
I like to ride my Rocket9 two inches shorter than my normal shortboard length. With the wider outline up front its able to hide a bit of volume under the chest to make the paddling still super easy even though you are on a shorter board." – Dane Gudauskas
