The Channel Islands MBB (Merrick Bobby Martinez Board) is a proven high-performance shortboard designed for surfers looking for speed, control, and versatility across a wide range of conditions. Originally developed with Bobby Martinez, the MBB combines performance-driven shaping with added volume through the nose, tail, and rails, making it more forgiving and user-friendly than many traditional high-performance shortboards.
Featuring a relatively flat rocker under the front foot that transitions into a double concave with subtle vee through the tail, the MBB generates excellent speed while maintaining responsiveness in critical sections of the wave. Its fuller rails provide added paddle power and stability, while still allowing for tight, vertical turns and quick rail-to-rail transitions.
Ideal as an everyday performance board, the MBB excels in everything from waist-high beach breaks to well overhead surf. Whether you're driving through powerful turns, attacking the pocket, or looking for a reliable all-around shortboard, the Channel Islands MBB delivers a blend of performance and versatility that has made it a favorite among experienced surfers for years.
