Channel Islands Biscuit

Postby Wakeboarder » Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:16 pm

Has anyone ridden the CI Biscuit? If so, what did you think and what size board did you ride and how big are you. I'm a pro level wakeboarder from Dallas, but an average surfer, so the idea of the shorter and wider surfboard really appeals to me and would be more natural, but I haven't had a chance to ride the Biscuit yet. I'm 5'8", 160 if that helps.

I have a 5'10" CI Biscuit and I'm 5'7" 185 lbs. It has plenty of float, paddles easy, and likes to get in the pocket. This board NEEDS at least a knee-high, breaking wave to get it moving. Anything smaller or pushier won't cut it. If you have that kind of break, I suggest getting one. It's fast! It's fun!

I shaped one similar recently and I agree with SurfSerg's info. I set mine up as a quad hoping to use it as a really small wave board, but my Retro twin fish and Rocket still out performs it in smaller surf.
