Danes Waste Saving Grip
channel islands two piece deck pads are simple and effective. no frills just flat and grippy. i've used em for years, even while i was sponsored by other brands. i even tried to rip em off when i rode for kommunity project, but it was never the same. they never got it right. recently, rising material costs prompted scott aka scotty aka hawaiian scott, who is in charge of that sorta thing at channel islands, to visit the manufacturer to see how they could stay in production despite rising material costs. what he saw was mountains of EVA scraps. trash. useless waste. but what if we used it? used it to form the raw material for our deck pads? disposing of it is a burden, and it costs money, so why not? and so we did and now every deck pads unique; endless different patterns, variations, different colors. the manufacturer cuts down on waste, channel islands keeps making deck pads, we give what was doomed to be trash a little bit of life, a little bit of joy, everyone looks rad, everyone wins.

KELLY SLATER Breaks Favourite Surfboard in NY Final
Kelly Slater breaks his 'favourite board' according to CI Surfboards! A tense showdown against Owen Wright in the final saw Slater attempt a backhand punt to try and snatch a win at the first ever surfing event in New York.
His rather interesting five fin board had 'buckled' in the semi-finals but Kelly insisted on using it. Whether you be a 10 time world champion or your average surfer one thing is sure - there's nothing worse than breaking your favourite board.
