 Hi this is Austin from the search station. Today we are going to do a review on the Channel Islands Pod Mod. So the Channel Islands Pod Mod is based off the original pod for someone who really wants something that's a little more reverse style, works in a little wider range of surf, a little more performance oriented. Still has all that wide forward outline for paddling, easy way of catching that doesn't sacrifice any performance at all. The Pod Mod has a pretty medium overall rocker with a bit of entry rocker in the nose and a bit rocker out the tail. That really allows the board to work in a pretty wide range of conditions, work when the waves are a little bit bigger, steeper and punchier. Also allows the board to be real versatile and be able to put on rail compared to a real flat overall board. So this wide flatter forward outline in the Pod Mod really allows the board to catch waves and paddle real well, helps it get going in some smaller weaker surf and really also helps it generate a lot of speed and drive down the line. The tail being pretty pulled in on the Pod Mod allows it to be real responsive and really turns really well off the tail. This board most of them come as a 5-fin setup and I really recommend riding as a quad to really loosen it up a bit and also give it that speed and drive. So I personally have a custom Pod Mod. I'm 5'11", about 170 pounds and mine is a 5'4". It's spot-on, works amazing. If you're pretty experienced or I'd recommend getting this about three to five inches shorter than your height, we have a ton of them here in surf station and stock. We can also do custom orders for you. I have to say this is one of the better all-around boards that I've had from the Channel Islands. We have a ton of these in stock so come in the store and check them out anytime or also visit us online at surf-station.com or surfstationstore.com
