Channel Islands Noserider - Single Fin Box, Solid Fiberglass, Raw Finish. Developed through extensive R&D by Devon Howard, Troy Mothershead, Chuck Ames, and Wayne Rich, the CI Noserider is purpose-built for confident noseriding while preserving trim, balance, and responsive turning. Unlike traditional pivot fins, it anchors the tail for solid nose hold without feeling like a heavy barge, encouraging smoother rail-to-rail transitions and stylish, drawn-out turns.

Fin Construction: Solid Fiberglass
Designer Name: Alfred Paul "Al" Merrick
Designer Origin: Bradley Beach, New Jersey (born); Santa Barbara, California (based)
Designer Bio: Merrick's fin design philosophy emphasizes controlled flex and responsiveness paired with practical hydrodynamics, creating the legendary Channel Islands FRP fins with moderate base width, balanced rake, and flat foil construction. His fins—engineered across thruster, 2+1, and alternative configurations—remain the most versatile and commercially dominant fin templates in modern surfing.
