Channel Islands M23 Performance Hybrid + Futures Fins AM1 Review - The Surfboard Guide

Welcome to our full review of the Channel Islands M23 Midlength Performance Hybrid. I have been riding a stock 6'6 x 20 1/2 x 2 11/16 @ 39.4L. I have been lucky enough to be surfing this for the last few months in a variety of conditions form 1ft dribble, through to pretty good over head surf and it really held it's own across all these conditions. From https://cisurfboards.com/products/m-23 The M23 comes from the storied M13 bloodlines, a favorite hybrid board Al Merrick made for himself and rode variants of for decades from fun Rincon to maxing Sunset. A true high performance hybrid that caters to the widest possible type and size of surfer - and for the widest range of wave conditions. Not to be confused with the CI Mid, the M23 carries more foam, boasting a fuller rail and sleeker nose outline. It paddles like a champ while still riding more like a shortboard.
