Back in 2000, the introduction of the original Pod design allowed experienced riders to drop a full 6-inches off their shortboards. The Channel Islands 5'9" Pod Mod Surfboard takes things a step further, going even shorter and wider than its predecessor. With increased forward volume, the Pod Mod eases the challenge of the initial catch without sacrificing performance down the line, where the modified bottom features a flat entry to a concave vee, allowing for quick rail to rail transitions. For knee- to head-high waves and moderately steep breaks, it's hard to beat the performance of the Channel Islands 5'9" Pod Mod Surfboard.
