North Shore Field Notes

Britt Merrick and CI’s Global Team Manager Brent Power just spent a few weeks on North Shore to dial in quivers for CI's CT 2024 Surfers: Joao Chianca, Barron Mamiya, Lakey Peterson, Imaikalani DeVault, Alyssa Spencer, and Matt MacGillivray.
They met everyday, surfed, talked about the boards' pros and cons, took notes and went home to fix any needed refinements. The work they did collectively on dialing in boards will ensure these CT surfers are 100% ready for Pipe and Sunset-there will be no second guessing what they are riding, regardless of whatever Mother Nature has in store for those events.
The video is a fly-on-the-wall view of Britt and Brent's time with these 6 surfers, and includes insightful commentary about how they approached this process. And, of course, there was lot of great waves and surfing as the backdrop to their R&D sessions.
So what are they riding? The team is mostly on custom dims of popular CI Performance models such as CI Pro, 2.Pro and Happy Traveler. You can see their quivers and dims here:

Does the ecocarbon tech absorb the chop better than normal PU would?

[@brittmerrick1445]

That’s the feedback from the team, yes

[@1604ben]

Hi @brittmerrick1445 when will the eco carbon be available in europe ? Will the pukas factory be able to do it ? Cheers.

[@goingupsidedown]

Is this before or after Joao got injured at Pipe?

Pro surf scene so lame and boring

[@brittmerrick1445]

You are so right… I’m totally wasting my life. I bet you’re way more interesting!

Observations: surfers are light weights ( need 100 kg + to be impressive) looks like little kids

[@Maverick-fw8uv]

Not the case
