5-Fin / Medium / Rake Template
The AM1 Techflex, designed by legendary shaper Al Merrick of Channel Island Surfboards, is a medium sized 5-fin setup in the Rake template category. This template features a wide base and refined tip, for the perfect combination of release and drive. The quad rear template is modeled after the rear of the Bobby Quad which is an upright fin with a fuller beak tip allowing for more maneuverability without sacrificing drive through turns.
