 Thank you for checking out my board review today. We're viewing the new board from Channel Islands called the number four The idea behind the name was that this was the fourth board in a series of concepts that Dane Reynolds was producing for the US Open in 2012 and obviously it goes through a lot of R&D before getting to our mere mortal hands and Here it is. I just picked it up yesterday gave it a surf and it's it's a lot of fun We're based here in Florida. So this is a great board for everyday surfing It has that fish like quality that allows you to paddle a little bit better Obviously written a lot shorter and also still performs like a modern shoreboard. So I'm about 5 10 155 pounds this board is 5 5 18 and 7 eighths by 2 and 3 sixteenths I've just now tried it out as a quad and I plan on writing it as a thruster It is a perfect blend for those of you familiar with Channel Islands with the neckbeard and the dumpster diver So it has a lot of qualities like the forward outline of the neckbeard a nice neutral rocker It doesn't have much if you're looking at it But it does have a little bit more than the neckbeard, but not as much as the dumpster diver It's a very versatile board kind of the One board quiver if you will for small to average surf the wings help pull in the outline I think a Some what some of the feedback on the neckbeard whether it be positive or negative is that attract a little bit It had such down-the-line drive and speed that really whipping a tighter arc Was difficult because you had a large planing surface behind your foot So you've got two wings like this which drastically pulls in the outline gives you a little bit of a pivot point Allows you to turn it harder than you would really wide-tailed fish Come standard as a squash like we were saying before so you're getting above the lip type turning really good on a rail short little curves Arcing turns and it still has a lot of down-the-line speed So this is the number four and I'm gonna go surf so we can check it out
