Surfboard Preview: The Semi Pro by Al Merrick

Designed by Kelly Slater, built by Channel Islands, the Semi Pro is Kelly’s world-obliterating all-condition contest board. It’s got a bit more volume than the old matchstick 6’0’s of the past and you get to ride it about four inches shorter than your usual board. The deep single concave and plenty of rocker allow for tight turns in the pocket whilst the extra volume will get you through the flat sections.

Nice….
