We have received a very limited quantity Channel Island dumpster divers. As of now we only have a solo 5'6" left in stock, and have been receiving very positive reviews. Available online and in store. If you are a surf tech. junkie, like most of us, you need to check this thing out.
So the whole story behind the dumpster diver is as follows:
When Dane showed up at the C.I. factory requesting a short wide epoxy with single concave and a huge square tail to make the summer bearable, the Dumpster Diver was born. When he came back a week later and wanted one with a narrower nose and a Rookie tail template for the Trestles contest in 3 days, the 2nd Generation Dumpster Diver was created.
Using the front half of the Sashimi model, and the template for the back half of the Rookie short board, this second version version remained under his feet all the way through to his first final at the WCT Trestles 2009.
Though still a work in progress the Dumpster Diver flies and still has enough kick in the tail to carve in the pocket. If you want to try the board as it was in the Trestles contest, then get one quick, as you never know where he will take the design next.
