3.6" Channel Islands Side Bites - FCS Compatible, Solid Fiberglass.
3.6" Channel Islands Side Bites - FCS Compatible, Solid Fiberglass. These side bite fins are engineered to provide maximum performance when added to a single fin on 2+1 surfboards. Channel Islands design principles combined with True Ames manufacturing delivers exceptional flow characteristics and responsive handling. Ideal for surfers looking to enhance their 2+1 setup with proven Channel Islands-designed side bites.
The foil and outline are tuned to feed a center fin rather than dominate it, so the board still turns off the back foot instead of tracking like a thruster.
The subtler half of the CI side bite range: extra hold on the drop and through steep sections while the board keeps its loose, pivoty single-fin character. If the tail still slides on bigger, steeper days, you want the 4.0" instead.
The 3.6" CI Side Bites are FCS-compatible, solid fiberglass side bites from True Ames's Channel Islands template line, the same family the CI Mid program was built around with Devon Howard and Channel Islands. The 3.6" is the smaller of the two staple sizes True Ames offers in the line, the other being the 4.0". They are sold as a pair for 2+1 setups on mid-lengths and longboards, typically run alongside a 6.5" to 7" center fin.
