Shape:

Das Solution von Channel Islands ist Britt Merricks neuester High Performance Groveler für den Sommer 2026 und steht in der Tradition früherer Modelle wie dem Sampler, Neckbeard oder #4. Allerdings sind Planshape, Rockerlinie und Concaves nicht wirklich mit diesen oder anderen Modellen im CI Line up vergleichbar. 
Die Outline des Solution ist an ein Daily Driver Shortboard angelehnt - mit dem großen Unterschied, dass die Maße wesentlich großzügiger ausfallen und vor allem die hintere Hälfte des Boards vom Wide Point bis ins Thumb Tail deutlich breiter ist. Die Rockerlinie ist äquivalent dazu in der Nose eher aggressiv (für einen Groveler) und im Tail recht flach. Im Zusammenspiel mit einem durchgehend tiefen Single Concave mit innerem Double Concave, das sich über die gesamte Boardlänge zieht, bewirkt das viel Drive und Float unter beiden Füßen. Die Rails sind für einen Groveler sehr stark ausgedünnt, was für ein sensitives, direktes Boardfeeling sorgt.

SurferInnen und Bedingungen:

Die Bezeichnung “High Performance Groveler” beschreibt das CI Solution ziemlich treffend. Es ist für schwache und kleine Wellen optimiert, erfordert allerdings eine solide Shortboard Erfahrung und Skill Set, um in solchen Bedingungen Spaß zu bringen. Wenn du dich als weniger erfahren oder fit einschätzt oder einfach nur einen Groveler suchst, der ein sehr guter Wellencatcher und leicht zu surfen ist, dann ist das Solution wahrscheinlich nicht für dich. SurferInnen, die diese Kriterien aber erfüllen, finden im Solution ein Shortboard, das auch in Mini Wellen noch rippen kann und mit Thruster-, Quad- oder 2+1 Fin Set up sehr vielseitig ist und eine ordentliche Portion Down-the-Line-Speed generieren kann. Durch die sensiblen Rails und “shortboardy” Outline performt das Solution auch ohne Probleme, wenn die Wellen Qualität über den Grovel Modus hinausgeht.

Alternativen:

Groveler mit einem ähnlich High Performance Anspruch sind das Lost Puddle Jumper HP und Pro, das Pukas Easy Mood und das Pyzel White Tiger. Wenn du einen etwas entspannteren Groveler suchst, wäre das Bobby Quad von Channel Islands oder das El Zorro von Axel Lorentz naheliegende Alternativen.

Bauweise:

PU/Polyester - Die traditionelle Surfboard Bauweise, auf die seit Jahrzehnten Pros und Amateur Surfer vertrauen. Ein PU Kern mit eingeklebten Holzstringer wird mit Glasfasermatten und Polyesterharz geglast. Das Resultat ist ein leichtes Surfboard mit sehr guten Flex Eigenschaften. Je nachdem wie viele Lagen Fiberglas verwendet werden, variieren Gewicht und Stabilität des Wellenreiters. Je weniger Lagen, desto leichter das Board und dynamischer die Flex Eigenschaft, aber desto empfindlicher ist das Surfboard auch für Macken und Reparaturstellen. Umgekehrt sind dicker geglaste Surfboards solider, aber dafür auch schwerer und steifer.
Unsere Stock Shortboards von Channel Islands kommen in der Regel im CI Ultra Light Glassing mit 2x4oz oben und 1x4oz Glasfasermatten im unten, was dem Shortboard Standard entspricht und ein guter Kompromiss zwischen Haltbarkeit und Performance ist. Bei Step ups und Midlength Surfboards über 6’4’’ wird im Deck eine 4oz Lage gegen eine 6oz Lage ausgetauscht.

Bei Custom Bestellungen können alle Variablen individuell verändert werden:

  • Maße und Volumen Finnensystem und -set up (Futures/FCS II und Anzahl der Fin Plugs)
  • Stärke (4oz oder 6oz), Anzahl (eine oder zwei) und Art (E-Glas oder S-Glas) der Glasfasermatten
  • Carbonstreifen im Tail oder Unterwasserschiff
  • Logo und Positionierung des Logos
  • Farbe und Design (Spray oder Resin Tint)
  • Signatur

Heather's story
Format: Paperback
3 stars - This is the second book in the Elena Abbott Shifters series. In Book Two, we get to know Heather McKenna. She was cursed by a witch, paid by her mother, so she couldn’t shift. Heather was told her whole life that being a shifter was abnormal and made her a monster. She was made to feel ashamed and unworthy. She didn’t find acceptance with her human family or with other wolf shifters when she finally left to forge her own path in the world. Her pack put her at the very bottom of the hierarchy and treated her poorly because what good is a wolf shifter who can’t shift? When this book starts, we learn that Wren, her new Alpha, has helped her release her wolf from the curse. Heather is having a difficult time accepting herself and finding peace with her wolf. She receives a call from her sister informing her that their mother is in the hospital and she needs to come. Their parting wasn’t on good terms. Heather hopes to find closure with her mom and sister and decides to go, despite Wren’s objections. V is a member of the Raines pack and also the child of the pack Alpha. Just like in the first book, we discover that this pack is governed by a strict hierarchy of dominance and submission. The Alpha’s word is law. V and their father do not see eye to eye. V’s non-binary identity and attraction to women are not respected by their father, who insists that they mate with Sinclair, the pack enforcer. As one might expect, Sinclair is terrible, and V wants nothing to do with him. V and Heather meet when V is called to the hospital to handle a potential rogue wolf, who turns out to be Heather. She is struggling to control her emotions and her wolf during the full moon. V immediately recognizes that Heather is their true fated mate. However, it takes Heather, who is not as in tune with her alter ego, a bit longer to come around. I enjoyed the story, but I must admit that it dragged a bit for me because Heather’s self-esteem is extremely low. She believes she is unworthy of anyone’s love or respect. She thinks she is broken and burdensome. She takes responsibility for and apologizes for everything, most of which she is not responsible for. One of my least favorite tropes is one-sided decision-making, like when a character decides, “I am not worth all the trouble I am causing. They can do better than me. I am doing them a favor by leaving.” Then they leave without giving the other person in the relationship a chance to make any decisions for themselves. Heather’s negative self-talk persists for at least half the book. I found myself skimming through these internal monologues because my tolerance for them is low. The book picks up in the second half, and I enjoyed the action scenes and the ending. I love how Wren’s new pack is starting to fill up with like-minded wolves, and I look forward to the next installment in the series. Thank you Netgalley and Bold Strokes Books for the ARC and the opportunity to leave a review.

Paranormal Werewolf Shifter Romance
Format: Paperback
Really good second book in this series. This is the story about Heather whose a werewolf shifter who couldn't shift, but gets help from a witch and an alpha werewolf that brings out her wolf , but she goes rogue after shifting and runs. When Heather and V meet they know that they are each others mate, but there's problems from the beginning. There's a lot of violence, drama and angst in this story, so I would say buckle up for a wild ride.. I would definitely recommend this book and I look forward to what's next in this series from this author.

4 Stars
Format: Paperback
This is a shifter romance that features a non-binary wolf whose father, an Alpha, is stuck in the old ways of running a pack. In comes Heather, featured within the previous installment of the series, who doubts herself and has self-hatred due to her strained relationship with her mother. There are werewolves, witches, dominants and submissives. It's a slow building romance at first and then full steam ahead. For those who are triggered by self-doubt, you may want to pass this up as well as those who hate the mention of the phrase mate or my mate. It is a good second installment of the series with enough open ended content to have a third book on the horizon.
