Description

The Channel Islands Weirdo Ripper surfboard by Al Merrick. Developed with Yadin Nicol to be that 'go to', small to medium, all rounder in your quiver. The Development process began with Yadin in the Channel Islands shaping bay getting weird on Al Merricks Pod design. The Weirdo Ripper is a user friendly design, high volume makes for easy paddling, the wide point forward helps with getting into the wave, and also helps the board skim over chop. The V through bottom of the gives really good drive for a board of this shape, square-winged swallow gives that fish like rail to rail surfing which makes this board a real performer that works well as a thruster or quad. Secret tip, surf it as a quad with a nubster, it flies. This board is the perfect compliment to a groveller in your quiver, it goes in a really wide range of waves but really excels in cleaner lined up waves.

Ride the Weirdo 2" to 5" shorter than your height.

WEIRDO RIPPER 5'11
I'll never need another board! This board is excellent. I surf in Porthcawl: typically 1 to 4 foot - sometimes clean, sometimes messy. In all conditions it has been excellent. I did surf on a relatively thin aloha 6'2. It's buoyancy was too little to handle my local conditions, and not surfing regularly enough meant I was getting totally fed up. I planned to get a slightly longer board sacrificing the fun of manoeuvrability, maybe a mini-mal. Speaking to Ian and Clive in Boardshop was extremely useful: they convinced me to go for an even shorter board, the thicker weirdo ripper. Boy was I glad to have taken their advice! This board is incredible. You could immediately feel it's decent buoyancy. It generates speed so quickly and turns on a penny. You can put the board exactly where you want it and it'll do whatever you ask, which is great for my local conditions. I can't see why I'd ever need to replace it, so thanks Ian and Clive for your advice and a great board. Here's to many happy years ahead!

JUST GREAT!
Very satisfied with the given service. Ian and Roger were very helpful and they answered all the questions! The order came in less than a week! I haven't tested it yet, but from its look and structure I am very very excited for my first wave with the Weirdo Ripper! Cheers
