Description

A favourite of many surfer! The Channel Islands Rocket Wide is a user-friendly board is a shorter and wider version of the renowned Rocket family, designed to excel in lacklustre conditions. With a wider tail block, improved paddle power, and early wave entry, it offers maximum performance in small waves. The collaboration between the Gudauskas brothers and CI's Mike Andrews has created a fantastic board that glides effortlessly, bringing back the stoke even in less inspiring waves. With multiple fin setups, you can customize your ride.

5 8 rocket wide
in 5.8 spine tek,,, 2 plus one AM the board is totally different, crazy speed and paddle. very strong on the rail as it gains speed. flow and radical. it likes clean surf just overhead. An amazing board to bring your surf to a new level. for more verticality have to change board. tried in indo and canarias.

Small wave performer!!!
Bought the spine tek 5'7 and very impressed with it. Although the board can grovel its best used as a good small wave performer so sits between your grovel board and HPSB. (Would surf up to a little overhead but best around waist to head)
Gets into waves so easy probably even better than my Lost PJ. The EPS makes it very lively and board has heaps of drive. The highlight of this board is how fast it is in and out of turns. A real flow board.
No real negatives except I haven't noticed the difference to what the spine makes.
Its ok as a thruster but really comes alive with 2 plus 1 trailer. Not tried as quad yet as loving the 2 plus 1 at the mo.
Stoked, thanks Boardshop - Board was packed super well and arrived next day! :)

excellent Board; excellent service
Surfed this at bundoran after returning from Oman for a quick break. Board arrived in two days; mint condition and surfs perfectly. Purchased 5 11 and was worried about volume being too high (waves in oman can be gutless some of the time; only some) but felt like I was surfing my normal performance board 29ltrs; I am 85kg. Fast and responsive and a great paddler; definitely not a grovler as easily performed in overhead this weekend.. best smaller wave board I have had; and as always equally best service from Boardshop!

fantastic groveller
I bought my 5'9 in spine tek. it is super fast and extremely lively under foot. I have only ridden it as a thruster in large performer fins so far which really goes well. I'm going to try it with a AM performance core twin fin plus trailer as it has received amazing reviews as a twinny as well. this board is HIGHLY recommended.

Good Board
Had a couple of surfs on the south coast. One in shoulder/head high messy waves as a truster, and then in just over knee high, clean, with the MR Twin+ trailer. The board (in Spine-Tek) was fast, got into waves well and easy to turn. Will now my go to board for waves in this range as well as being the best looking board I own. Very Happy. Many thanks to Ian and all at Boardshop for Input and great service.
