ECT built boards are livelier, stronger, familiar feeling underfoot, and environmentally responsible. ECT boards are hand-built by the same crew of surfers that have been crafting your boards for years. Available in PU\/PE and EPS\/Epoxy constructions, ECT can be custom ordered on any board—allowing your board to be built just for you and never leaving you stuck between sizes. For those wanting to take their surfing performance to the next level, look no further than Channel Islands’ ECT built boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLIVELIER - Eco Carbon Tech’s (ECT) construction creates a Livelier PU\/PE or EPS\/Epoxy board - ECT construction uses a carbon resin that allows for a more traditional feeling flex pattern, albeit a more dynamic one that enhances any board’s performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTRONGER -15% stronger than standard lamination -Performance of a single layer of fiberglass—durability of two\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFAMILIAR - ECT is more familiar feeling than other type of carbon build - Most carbon-built boards are quite stiff, and don’t dent on the deck, which creates a rigid shell around the board—making its flex foreign feeling. -ECT enhances the level of performance you’ve been accustomed to from your standard shortboard construction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eECT GLASSING -Stock: Single 6oz deck\/4oz bottom (Pro Light) = Strength of 4+4 deck\/4 bottom -Team: Single 4oz deck\/4oz bottom (Team Light) = Strength of 6 deck\/4 bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMALLER FOOTPRINT - Uses 90% less energy than virgin carbon fiber - Recycled carbon saves waste from going into landfills\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"channel-islands-bobby-quad-ect-56-surfboard-fcs-ii","title":"Channel Islands Bobby Quad ECT PU\/Poly 5'6 Surfboard - FCS II","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5'6\" x 19 3\/4\" x 2 1\/2\" 30.30L\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Channel Islands Bobby Quad Surfboard. Bobby Martinez challenged CI to build him as short of a board as possible with the goal of maximizing his fun in Santa Barbara’s tiny summer surf. He also added that it had to be a quad, and it still had to live up to his high-performance standards. Bobby’s shortboards are 5’8” but for this customized four-finner he was thinking we ought to take it down to 5’2”. By shortening the rail line and distributing the volume into the width throughout the plan shape he’d be able to skate over the flats and carry enough speed to still fit in his signature gauges. The Bobby Quad has a low entry rocker that goes into a flat planing surface under the gas pedal portion of the board that provides the speed to get into waves and over those flat sections. The exit rocker and bottom contours are designed to be all business - with performance oriented flip and generous double concave for added lift to help Bobby boogie down the line in gutless waves. Its tail rocker profile, combined with some width in the tail and modified swallow, provide speed and hold during quick directional changes. The model is designed to be ridden 3” to 6” shorter and ¼” to 1\/2” wider than your shortboard. For reference, Bobby’s dimensions are 5’2 x 19 x 2 5\/16. From other team riders we’ve since learned that the Bobby Quad is versatile enough to be scaled up for those wanting to increase their wave count. The rail stays nicely foiled (not chunky) at fuller dimensions, so to maintain the integrity of the design we recommend adding thickness over width to hit your volume. As for fins, we recommend you run your favorite quad templates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.surfstationstore.com\/collections\/channel-islands-bobby-quad-surfboard\" title=\"Channel Islands Bobby Quad Surfboard Model\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-right: 20px; float: left;\" alt=\"Channel Islands Bobby Quad Surfboard Model\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/1902\/9309\/files\/ci-bobby-quad_100x100.jpg?v=1673118343\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e* \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.surfstationstore.com\/collections\/channel-islands-bobby-quad-surfboard\" title=\"Channel Islands Bobby Quad Surfboard Model\"\u003eCheck out the Bobby Quad model\u003c\/a\u003e from Channel Islands Surfboards\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Channel Islands","offers":[{"title":"5' 6","offer_id":42028755189821,"sku":"933698","price":935.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/1902\/9309\/files\/bq_1.jpg?v=1740002388"},{"product_id":"channel-islands-mikey-february-shorty-ect-poly-510-surfboard-futures","title":"Channel Islands Mikey February Shorty ECT PU\/Poly 5'10 Surfboard - Futures","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5'10\" x 18 5\/8\" x 2 5\/16\" 26.20L\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMikey February’s Shorty marks a return to his high-performance shortboarding roots.
