The M23 comes from the legendary M13 bloodline, a popular hybrid board that Al Merrick designed for himself and has surfed for decades in different variations - from the fun Rincon to the maximum Sunset. A true high-performance hybrid that caters to a wide range of surf styles and different sized surfers - and a wide range of wave conditions. Not to be confused with the CI Mid, the M23 has more volume, a fuller rail and a slimmer nose outline. It's easy to paddle and rides like a shortboard.

TORQ X-LITE TECHNOLOGY
The Torq X-Lite technology takes the already innovative epoxy construction into unimagined areas in terms of weight and performance.
The core of the boards consists of a specially manufactured high-precision EPS blank, which is coated with biaxial fabric and epoxy resin. On the deck of the X-Lite boards, an additional layer of impact mesh is incorporated, which distributes the pressure of impacts evenly over the surface and thus protects against dings and heel dents.
The underside is provided with a torsion-resistant carbon strip, which controls the flex and makes the board incredibly responsive.
The X-Lite construction is distinguished from conventional PU/polyester construction by its more environmentally friendly production process and unmatched weight/strength ratio.
