Channin

Tony Channin established Channin Surfboards in 1970 with one goal in mind: to build the most beautiful, highest quality boards achievable. 30 years later and Channin Surfboards continue to develop and adopt new technologies, such as computerized shaping machines, exotic new resins and fabrics, plus innovative tools to enhance quality and efficiency. In the same way Tony has set the standard for quality craftsmanship in polyester construction, Randy French has revolutionized the sandwich epoxy surfboard concept. Today, Channin is proud to announce its partnership with Surftech and introduce its first four Tuflite models, the 7’2 and 9’0” Channin models and the 7’2” and 9’0” Siren women’s models.

The 7’2” CH2/Model F is the ultimate mid-length surfboard, balancing stability, maneuverability and ease of paddling in a 7’2” package that’s as at home blasting off the lip as it is screaming down the line. Flat rail-to-rail bottom contour at the mid section acts as an accelerator while the medium Vee in the tail allows for fast, agile turns. Rails are soft in the forward section of the board and harden through the tail for an extra boost that’ll get you around the slow sections and back in the pocket.

The Channin CL1/Ruler 9’0” was designed specifically to be a Tuflite model, building upon all of the design attributes that have made our CL1 Tri-fin a favorite for over 10 years. Soft, forgiving rails extend to the forward section of the board, allowing for easy recovery from off the lips and extended tip time. Hard, down rails in the tail coupled with a double concave make turns fast and snappy. Moderate nose rocker feeds into accelerated tail rocker, making this very sleek board a surprisingly confident nose rider. Well suited to waves ranging from fast beach breaks to classic point breaks, this tri-fin is the one all around board you need to have in your quiver. It can handle it all.

The Siren 7’2” Soul Desire is the ultimate mid-length surfboard, balancing stability, maneuverability and ease of paddling in a 7’2” package that fits easily under your arm. Flat rail-to-rail bottom contour at the mid section acts as an accelerator while the medium Vee in the tail allows for easy turns. Rails are soft in the forward section of the board and harden through the tail for an extra boost that’ll get you around the slow sections and back in the pocket. An excellent beginner board for girls who ultimately want to shortboard as well as a great all around fun board.

The Siren 9’0” Hot Tamale was designed specifically to be a Tuflite model, building upon all of the design attributes that have made the Siren Surfboard models so popular among girls of all ages. Soft, forgiving rails extend to the forward section of the board, allowing for easy recovery from off the lips. Hard, down rails in the tail paired with a double concave make turns fast and snappy. Low nose rocker feeds into accentuated tail rocker, making the Hot Tamale a surprisingly confident nose rider. Well suited to waves ranging from fast beach breaks to classic point breaks, this is the model the Siren girls rely on in competition. Girls at all stages of ability will find this board to be easy to surf, paddle, and carry.

    "F" is for fun! A round-nosed version of our shortboards. Using a more conservative bottom contour to create a sure and stable feel. Excellent for novices or as an alternative to a longboard. More info

    A 2+1 fin setup and slight "V" bottom make this surfboard surf short from the tail while subtle nose concave and soft rails make noseriding a breeze, even in big surf. A progressive rocker and narrow, racy tail allows for snappy vertical manoeuvres. More info

    Moderate rocker, a concave nose and slight "V" through the tail, are all perfectly proportioned. If you can only own one longboard for all conditions the Ruler fits the bill. A sleek outline increases rail to rail transition time allowing for hard snappy turns. More info
