The struggle of lackluster surf is real. So, Channel Islands created The Solution.
Blending glide, paddle power, and versatility, The Solution is Britt Merrick’s most adaptable small-wave template yet. A fuller outline with a rounded tail increases planing area and drive through flat sections, while a single-to-generous double concave keeps the board quick, lively, and free underfoot.
The Solution’s new rocker and outline are unlike anything else in the CI range—a fresh design that holds speed in weak surf yet still invites performance when the moment calls for it. A five-fin setup lets you tune how the board feels: ride as a thruster for tight, up-and-down turns; a quad for pure top-end speed; or a 2+1 for twin-fin glide and flow. Custom tail patches add strength where it counts most.
The Solution is exactly that—a true step-down shortboard for less-than-ideal surf, built for speed, flow, and performance when it’s anything but pumping. Designed to be ridden 2” shorter than your Better Everyday, The Solution sits perfectly at the lower end of your quiver—ready to solve whatever small-wave struggles you pull up on.

For beginners, larger soft top surfboards or longboards (typically 8–9 feet) are best, that is assuming an average size adult. For smaller individuals surfboards in the 7-8 feet range would be ideal. The larger surfboards provide stability and make it easier to catch waves. Waterboyz offers a variety of new surfboards designed for all skill levels.
Yes. Soft top surfboards are lightweight, safe, and more forgiving during falls, making them ideal for learning the basics of surfing.
While many new surfboards include surfboard fins, there are good selection of the more high end performance shortboards that do not come with fins. Leashes are usually purchased separately. Waterboyz also stocks surf accessories so you can complete your setup in one place.
Shortboards are designed for speed and advanced maneuvers, while longboards are better for stability and smoother rides. Your choice depends on your experience level and wave type. If you have questions send us an email at help@waterboyz.com
