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

No longer as durable
Color: Purple
I have one of these that has made it through 2 dogs but now the bungee is stretched out. It's been such a well loved toy I recently got another one. They've changed the plush fabric. The old one was indestructible. This new one is much thinner and easily torn. I wish they would go back to the old plush fabric.

Great Toy!
Color: Orange
This has been a great toy for our 11 week old German Shepherd. She absolutely loves it. I can get out all of her toys and lay them out with the exception of her "Lizzy" and she will immediately go to her toy bin and get it herself. Needless to say it is her favorite toy. She has had it a week now and she plays with it a lot, chewing and squeaking. It's a pretty amazing toy to have held up this long already and to date shows no sign of wear or damage. Lizzy just keeps going and going.

This item came with plush missingand thread unraveling on one leg
Color: Blue
I bought this toy because my dog spent a week playing with the same toy from Zanies that belonged to a visiting dog. My dog was very gentle with this toy, which he loved, so we decided to find one for him. The toy that arrived had no Zanies label and missing plush on the bottom where the label should have been, plus other bare spots in the area that showed the white mesh beneath. It also had a long thread at the joint of a rear leg so I knotted it at the joint and clipped it to prevent my dog from pulling at it but it's apparent that the sewing is loose and wont last long. The color was also much lighter than the toy he'd been playing with that belonged to the guest dog but I figured it might just be from a different dye lot (it was not bought at Amazon but their local pet store.) I am not convinced this is a real Zanies toy. There were two labels in French and it said it was made in China. I am returning this toy and will get a replacement and see how it looks. If it seems like it will fall apart or is not the real thing I will return it immediately. If it has a label and is in good shape and sewn well at the seams I'll revise this review.

Great dog toy!
Color: Green
This is my third or fourth purchase of the same toy. My 45 lb super chewer dog loves to chew on this and especially likes to play tug of war. He is very rough on toys and most do not last longer than a few weeks. This toy lasts about 2 years - which is amazing considering my dog plays with it every day. Eventually it breaks in half during a tug of war session, but I don’t consider that a flaw or a problem because we definitely get our money’s worth of playtime! I’m happy to buy a new one every couple of years and I will keep buying it as long as it is available.

Still going strong after three months of Doberman teeth!
Color: Green
This was one of the first toys I purchased for my adopted 4 year old Doberman Pinscher. It has been chewed, and chewed, and chewed some more. This is one of his 3 favorite toys when he has to go in his crate. As of yet there are no significant teeth marks, holes, or missing pieces. It is solid rubber, light weight compared to a similar toy he has, and just the right size to carry around in his mouth. He seems to enjoy the sensation the little rubber nubs have on his gums when he chews it. We have also used this toy to play tug of war and fetch for the same reasons listed but also because the neon green color is easy to see especially if the dog gets distracted and leaves it in the yard. When playing fetch the weight of the toy does not lead to rotator cuff surgery with repetitive throwing on the part of the dog's human! When it gets too dirty and slimy for my tolerance, it is easily washed in the laundry room sink with dish detergent and a sponge always returning to its Spic n' Span original appearance. If and when he chews this one up, I will not hesitate to replace it. Top 3 Likes: -Sturdy, holds up to chewing, used as a crate toy as it poses no threat from dislodged pieces -Bright color aids in finding it outside -Comparatively lightweight, easy to throw, and easy to clean Top 3 Disikes: -Potentially an aggressive chewer could dismantle Only 1 dislike!
