Channel Islands Pod Mod FlexBar
In 2000, the original Pod rapidly became a global favourite, allowing surfers to drop six inches off their shortboards and revolutionise punting.
The Pod Mod design is a heavily modified Pod, designed to be ridden even shorter and wider than the original, catering to the surfer that wants a little more volume forward to catch waves but doesn’t want to sacrifice performance.
The tail has been widened for small wave glide, and the original single to double concave has been replaced with a flat entry to concave vee for quick rail-to-rail transitions.
Experienced surfers ride this board 3”- 6” shorter than actual height.
This board features FlexBar technology. The major component of this new innovative core is composite sandwich vacuum foam running from the center to 50mm from centre bottom. This acts as the main base for the FlexBar, allowing the board to flex without losing any strength, as well as lowering the vibration (resonance), which is often identified as a negative in EPS cores.
The result is a lighter /stronger / smoother feeling ride in all conditions.
