Thruster or Quad Fin Setup
The Futures five-fin configuration gives you the option of riding this Channel Islands Neckbeard 2 as either a thruster or quad. A thruster setup generally provides a familiar combination of control, pivot, and predictability through turns. Switching to a quad changes the feel by removing the center fin and can provide additional down-the-line drive and a freer sensation through sections. Having both options makes it easy to experiment with the board's setup depending on your surfing style and the conditions.
Fins are not included with this used surfboard, so a compatible Futures thruster or quad fin set will be needed.
Used Surfboard Condition
This used 5'9" Neckbeard 2 is rated in good condition and is described as a very clean board overall. It has light pressure dents from normal use.
Previous Nose Repair
The board has had a basic repair to a ding on the nose. The repair is water tight, but the finish is functional rather than especially cosmetic. This is worth noting for shoppers who prioritize appearance, while the inspection confirms that the board is currently water tight.
Why Ride This Channel Islands Neckbeard 2?
