Tommy Curren finding a perfect morning tube on a day when Hammonds was flat. Riding one of his last @cisurfboards tri-plane hull twin fins before switching to one of Al’s early Thrusters circa 1982. When I first moved to Santa Barbara in the early eighties, there was prevalent attitude that if Hammonds was flat, if Santa Barbara was flat then the surf was flat everywhere. It wasn’t until I had been living in Santa Barbara for about a month after a really good swell had ended, standing on that early wet morning grass at Hammonds looking out at a seemingly very very flat Pacific, a newly made friend said to me, “I know where, right now, about 30 minutes away, it is 6 feet and going off.” So it began, almost every morning it was flat in Santa Barbara and Rincon, I would make this mere 30 minute drive south and get good waves, often great waves. Having a hard time convincing anyone to go with me, I often had to make the journey to surf by myself. I couldn’t understand it; I grew up having to drive an hour to surf everyday without even knowing if there would be surf. It wouldn’t be until I met the adventurous Sam and Matt George, and then Tommy Curren, and eventually Willy and Steve Morris, Davey Smith, Kim Mearig, Dana McCorkle and gang that I would find true partners in crime, ready to scour the coastline for surfable surf on all those days when Hammonds was flat. The fifth photo has been printed many times and is in my book “Shaping Surf History” and for me represents the payoff of all those miles driving by us in the early eighties. #tomcurren #cisurfboards #shapingsurfhistory #willdriveforsurf #surfphoto #surfstories

Meet “Goldie” — @barronmamiya’s barrel board he rode to victory (twice) at the Pipe Pro. This collaborative design shaped by Britt was built for Barron to handle the steepest of entries and then mow through hectic foamballs with total confidence and speed. Head over to CI’s YouTube to hear Britt and Barron’s in-depth breakdown on this barrel board. (Link also in our bio)

A closer view of @eimeo.czermak’s ride we shared yesterday that sets a new bar for Teahupoo. 🤯 Note: we mis-identified his board in that post. We thought he was riding our new 6’3 Goldie model, but he had actually broken it prior to this ride and then grabbed his customized 6’3 Happy Traveler that Britt calls the Happy Tahitian. Video @timpruvost #ciSurfboards #ciHappyTraveler #Teahupoo

Scene report in Tahiti today: Did @eimeo.czermak just paddle into the wave of his life on our new barrel board called the Goldie? 🔥 Will share another closer angle of this sick ride soon. And you can head over to our YouTube channel to learn more about the Goldie barrel board. Link is in bio Filmed by @kohai.fierro #ciSurfboards

The Big Happy is our solution for older or bigger surfers that value performance. Easiest way to think about it, Britt designed this board for himself being 6’6, 52 years old, and realizing his strength and mobility are not what they used to be…but he still thinks he can rip. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • Lower entry rocker • Generous thickness forward • Tapered rails • Gentle single concave ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Surf better. Be happy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ photo by @cisurfboardsbrasil ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ciSurfboards #ciBigHappy
