The G-Skate is a modern hybrid that was created from a collaboration between Britt Merrick and the three Gudauskas brothers, Dane, Pat & Tanner. The G-Skate is designed to be fast, fun and responsive in a large range of waves: it's a board that can turn well in big powerful conditions and, as the same suggests, offer a fun loose and skatey feeling in mushy weak waves.
The G-Skate generates speed with ease thanks to its subtle single to double concave, low entry rocker and forward wide point providing volume under the chest. The modern shortboard rails provide all the precision and fine control you need when it's time to get on the rails and make some spray.
The G-Skate is designed to be ridden as a Twin with a small stabiliser (twin+1) but it will happily work as a thruster for more control, albeit with a bit less of the intended loose skatey feel.
Overall, a fun skatey board that offers glide and speed generation in weaker conditions, but can handle aggressive turns thanks to its refined shape.

Spine-Tek Construction
A collaboration between Channel Islands Surfboards and Shapers Australia. Essentially it is a completely new, and world first of it's kind, stringer system. Based on the principles of elastic energy, Spine-Tek flexes under pressure, (loading up through turns) and returns to it's normal rocker, providing surfboards with additional drive, speed, power and flow. Made from a fibreglass and resin composite, the virtually unbreakable Spine-Tek stringer is installed into the deck of the EPS foam core, and then layered over with E-Glass and Entropy Super Sap Epoxy, (Ecoboard Certified).
The main focus of the Spine-Tek is flex, with the ability to return to it's original shape. This really is a method of converting stored/potential energy into kinetic energy. When you put more weight onto your foot into a turn, the spine will flex.. ie. load up more than a traditional stringer.. When your force decreases through the turn, the potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy as the spine springs back to it's original shape (rocker), thus increasing power, speed drive and flow.
