Can we talk about Channel Islands?

I thought Lost was the beloved fav of the erBB back in the day. SD's, Rockets, and RNF's. RNF is back so we have come full circle.
Mikey February seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. Deservedly IMHO.
I've really enjoyed the Twin Pin and Happy Everyday. Their designs seem really well suited to SoCal sh!t. Though the construction has been a bummer. Both those boards have been bought used or OTR, so I'm hoping that explains it. A buddy has a custom CI that looks miraculously brand new after a year+.
And would agree that for all the excitement, I've seen almost no Album's in the wild (aside from a mini Simmons I got on CL like a decade ago that was actually really fun).

There’s plenty of love and respect on the erBB for CI, which is still one of the most core board manufacturers.
By far the best fin templates of any board company too. 90% of the thrusters are variations of the AMs.
also like how scott ando talks story here from time to time. good stuff!
how long is this sexy little biscuit and how much do you want for it when you inevitably sell it to order another one 1/64" wider?
There is no doubt that Channel Island lost their way under Burton's ownership but now that Brit has taken the helm things look to be really turning around - I recently picked up a used Fishbeard and have found it both user friendly and super fun to ride - this is the first CI board I have ridden in over 10 years.
He used to post here much more often.
Where's Smelly Skater?
The Grifter?
Conner Coughin'?
Tailored Sox?
Leeza Sanderson?
Just to name a few.
4 out of those 5 are most frequently seen riding boards made in Thailand.
I don't ever remember CI being all that popular or commonly talked about on the forum.
Anyone remember when all anyone here ever seemed to ride was a bonzer? Anyone seen a bonzer pop up on the forum recently? Then all anyone was allowed to ride was a twin keel. Had to have glassed on Gephart's. I think that was the order that it went in.
All of Album's boards are one-off glass jobs with resin tints. If you ask for a CI mid from CI with a custom resin tint that isn't one of their stock colors rest assured it won't be all that far off from $1300.
