New Model Alert!
The Channel Islands Free Scrubber from Britt Merrick and Tom Curren.
The twin finned board that was primarily featured by Tom Curren in the recent surf edit Free Scrubber started as a customized project he worked on with Britt Merrick. This design was a re-creation from a few different magic Twin Fins Tom remembers Al making him some 40 years ago. One of the key design features was the vee bottom that was on those early boards he had. With a relatively low rocker combined with a classic small swallow tail outline and very refined rails, the Free Scrubber is surprisingly fast and loose, while providing plenty of hold. The Free Scrubber is a spicey and quick all-around twin fin that is user friendly; no matter the conditions this board will put a smile on your face. Ride the Free Scrubber two to four inches shorter than your everyday shortboard.
