The Channel Island Biscuit surfboard is a unique 5′ 2″ surfboard that is surprisingly short for what it is, thicker than you may expect, but is still full of plenty of surprises. Don’t believe me? Try riding the Channel Island Biscuit surfboard for yourself and see what you think.
If you haven’t ridden a 5′ 2″ Channel Island Biscuit yet, it may benefit you to test out this unique board. The stock version of the 5′ 2″ Biscuit features a bit of light glassing and its dimensions are 5′ 2″ length by 19.75″ width by 2.75″ thickness. This board has a three fin configuration. When you first look at it, you may be taken aback by the amount of volume that is there considering the short length, but this board makes it completely possible to surf with something that is shorter than what you are used to. The Channel Island Biscuit may look like a stubby little disk with its wide point forward, but for such a small and thick board you will be pleasantly surprised to see how well it surfs for yourself. This is one of the flattest rockers that is out there right now, especially in comparison to all the retro fishes that are on the market right now.
Another perk of this 5′ 2″ Channel Island Biscuit surfboard is that it makes paddling pretty easy. You’re going to find that paddling with this particular board is a lot like paddling on a retro fish, but a few inches larger. The board does seem to take a little bit more energy in order to get going, but once you get going, you have more than enough power to get you moving, and you shouldn’t have trouble catching your dream waves.
The level of maneuverability that the 5′ 2″ Channel Island Biscuit offers is average to above average. You can’t really get this Channel Island Biscuit surfboard to turn on a dime unless you have a really decent wave under you. The 5′ 2″ Channel Island Biscuit may not turn as well as the Xanadu Wave Rocket does, but it is still a worthwhile board. If you haven’t ridden one yet, it would benefit you to at least try out what this unique board has to offer.
Channel Island is promoting this board as what is essentially a small wave groveler. It may be expected to fly but it falls a little flat on the promises. Still, although the Xanadu Wave Rocket is faster than the 5′ 2″ Channel Island Biscuit right off the bat, and offers greater speed and maneuverability, don’t count the 5′ 2″ Channel Island Biscuit out as a decent board. This board does perform, and is definitely going to be well worth checking out if you are looking for a good performance board whether you are surfing in Hawaii or California.
