SHAPER'S BAY CHANNEL ISLANDS SURFBOARDS Shaped by Al Merrick Fred Stubble 5’8" x 19" x 2 When Conner Coffin asked for all the characteristics of the Fred Rubble to be condensed in a shorter, wider package for contests in small surf; the Fred Stubble was born. Geared towards contest surfing in sub-chest high conditions, the Stubble has a wider nose and tail, reduced nose and tail rocker, single entry concave with magnified double barrel concave through the fins and vee upon exit. This board stays on rail even in flat spots, glides over reo sections, draws tight arcs in the smallest pockets, and paddles like a board 3” longer. Conner rode a Stubble to a victory in the 2013 US Open Juniors.
