 This is Austin from the surf station, just going to give you guys a little bit of information about Channel Islands newest and latest model, the Average Joe. The Channel Islands Average Joe was developed by Channel Islands after years of demo tours and feedback from customers realizing that the Average customer just wants a board that's simple, easy, and fun to ride. The Average Joe has a light concave under the front foot to a deeper concave throughout the board to V out the tail. The tail has the signature almeric hip which allows you to maintain drive and also gives the board slightly more maneuverability. The full rails in the Average Joe keep higher volume in this shorter outline board. The wide and flat nose in the Average Joe allows for easy paddling, get it into waves easy, and making weak and flat sections. The tail comes stock as a squash tail and this board can be ordered as a 3 or 5 fin setup. If this board's road is a quad, it's going to give the board a lot more drive and speed down the line and also loosen it up a bit in smaller surf. The Average Joe should be ridden about 2 to 8 inches shorter than your height depending on your surfing ability. It's a great board for all levels of surfing from if you're a beginner just getting started to an advanced surfer. This board really excels in waves from weak knee high surf to decent head high surf. Overall the Average Joe is a great surf board for all levels of surfing. Come by the shop and check them out or check us out online at surfstationstore.com. We have tons in stock.
