Introducing the CI Log with Devon Howard

- The all-new “CI Log” is a finely tuned traditional longboard. The goal of this design was to create a balanced longboard that could do it all-from tip to tail. It also had to perform at the very highest levels possible, while remaining true to the genre-by having a single-fin and no edge in the tail. Shown here is CI's Devon Howard putting a 9’9 stock dims CI Log through its paces, demonstrating its great range, balance, speed and flow.
Further details: No edge in the tail helps facilitate the board’s incredible hold and sense of control while blasting through sections on the nose. To offset the tail draggy, boggy nature soft railed longboards are notorious for, CI's Britt Merrick looked to partner with master craftsmen and longboard sensei Wayne Rich. "Wayno" designed and shaped the CI Log's unique low apex rail to provide more drive, sensitivity, and certainty through turns than a typical “log” design would offer. He worked closely with Devon Howard to finetune the CI Log concept via his rider feedback. Devon, as you may recall, had spearheaded the CI Mid and TPH models.
The board’s overall performance characteristics are enhanced by having a wide hipped outline just behind the center point, giving riders added leverage to effortlessly swing the board around for setting up noserides or if wanting to ride in and around the pocket with ease, speed and control. The blunted nose design is intentional: It allows the front of the CI Log to be somewhat narrow 12” back from the tip which helps it fit easier into a high, tight pocket while at the same time provide plenty of surface area for you to comfortably perch all 10.
The CI Log is available in colorful resin craftsmanship (6-6oz. decks with 6oz. bottoms) with a satin sanded gloss resin finish, or clear with a T-Band stringer. CI also worked yet again with Wayne on designing a custom single-fin to enhance the board’s performance characteristics. The CI Log and fin are both available now at your local surf shop or cisurfboard.com.

I've surfed with him at Cardiff Reef and Swamis. He can rip on a small fish all the way to a 10'0. He's a great surfer and damn he catches waves effortlessly.
Some great surfing! Board moves the the water nicely 🤘🏻
Devon Howard makes great boards look exceptional every time. CI is lucky to have him on the team 🤙
Super smooth! Hope also watch Mr howard's backside riding next time.
Devon was flowing!
I have a question, I’m looking at logs to progress on and surf differently as I’ve surfed my modern retro for long enough now. I have it at 9’6 and find it comfortable (maybe a bit longer would be better) what would be the size to go for with this ci log? Does the blunt and narrow nose mean I should go longer than what I’ve got?
Ripping Devon!!! Dancing with the music of the happening :)
We agree. Thanks Dave. And thanks again for joining Dane on the Out of the Rafters tour!
Nice 👍
What interests me is the bottom shape, it is rather flat or more belly.
I ride the High Pro Log and Bill Pin, the belly of the HPL just feels better.
I am very interested in the board, as it is relatively fast to get in my area and the price in Germany is still ok. Boards I drive have become incredibly expensive at the moment.
Regards from Germany 🍻
🤩🤩🤩
They have the right guy to advertised the board
I developed closely with Wayne Rich. Took a few years, taking our time to get it how we wanted it. Loving it
Gee a longbord looking good at Malibu, how rad.
Will this work in knee-high gutless surf or is it more a 'good wave / Malibu log ?
Same question…
Useless advertising clips...
Id buy it
👍
I’m intrigued..Would be curious how this rides in gutless South Florida beach breaky wind chop? Thoughts?
It works really well in small beach break. Sorry I don' have video to back it up. there is a ride or two here toward end of wave gets soft, maybe a hint of what can do here: czcams.com/video/667YuRRljSk/video.html
Ok CI okay CI!
Wow!
weird B roll, good turns
Is that Malibu, are there not usually a million people out?
The wave maketh the board
1700$
And?
Half the waves he surf's in that clip are so far away from log riding waves it's ridiculous😂. Capitalism and advertising huh, what a team.
Malibu isn’t a log riding wave?
Brad, sorry we didn't work with in the confines of your definition for log waves. Ours is Head high max, and under. We will work harder to find slower smaller mushier waves to demonstrate the riding features of the board. Thanks for chiming in.
@@mcbudget we thought wrong apparently
