Welcome to our full review of the Channel Islands M23 Midlength Performance Hybrid. I have been riding a stock 6'6 x 20 1/2 x 2 11/16 @ 39.4L.
I have been lucky enough to be surfing this for the last few months in a variety of conditions form 1ft dribble, through to pretty good over head surf and it really held it's own across all these conditions.
From cisurfboards.c...
The M23 comes from the storied M13 bloodlines, a favorite hybrid board Al Merrick made for himself and rode variants of for decades from fun Rincon to maxing Sunset.
A true high performance hybrid that caters to the widest possible type and size of surfer - and for the widest range of wave conditions.
Not to be confused with the CI Mid, the M23 carries more foam, boasting a fuller rail and sleeker nose outline. It paddles like a champ while still riding more like a shortboard.
