CI 2.Pro - Channel Islands Surfboards

Meet the winning surfboard for the 2023 Stab in the Dark with Italo Ferreira, the CI 2.Pro! The 2.Pro boasts the same outline and bottom contours that won the 2022 SITD, with Jack Robinson, but utilizes a reduced overall rocker to better match the surfing style and waves we believed would be on offer for 2023. When launching the CI Pro, both rockers had been tested and proven to work well in a wide array of conditions. Since that time we have discovered that much of our team likes the CI Pro curve and others prefer the 2.Pro curve, both being widely used by the team globally for over a year. While considering the waves to be surfed in the 2022 SITD we thought the more rockered out version would complement the power and shape of the waves in Hawaii, as well as Jack Robinson’s surfing. When looking at this years’ contest, we had a sneaking suspicion the surfer was Italo Ferreira. Taking into consideration his style of surfing and the wide variety of waves that might be encountered in Brazil, we felt that the slightly less rockered 2.Pro would be the right fit.
