Channel Islands X-Lite surfboards combine world-class shaping with modern epoxy construction, delivering high-performance boards that are lightweight, responsive and built for everyday use. Designed in collaboration with Channel Islands, these shapes bring proven performance into a more durable, user-friendly construction.

X-Lite construction uses an EPS core with epoxy resin and refined glassing to create a board that feels fast, lively and controlled underfoot, while offering greater strength and resistance to dings compared to traditional PU boards. The result is a performance surfboard that holds its speed, responds quickly and stands up to regular use.

The range includes some of Channel Islands’ most popular models, adapted to suit a wider range of conditions and surfers. Whether you’re looking to push your surfing further or want a reliable performance board that works beyond perfect waves, X-Lite offers a balance of speed, control and durability.

Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers, Channel Islands X-Lite surfboards deliver premium performance with added confidence in everyday UK conditions.

X-Lite is the Torq TET molding process with a performance tweak for the Channel Islands colab models.

The feel is similar to a PU with less of the light weight directness of a vacuum EPS/Epoxy. They have good dampening but not a flat feeling – the carbon keeps the stiffness for response.
