Bells 2011 Channel Islands Quivers

 
The 2011 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach kicked off yesterday and with all the world’s top surfers surfing in round one, I’m sure you were wondering what boards some of them had under their feet. Channel Islands posted to their blog the quivers for the guys that ride their boards and we’ve got a look at what Pat Guadaskas, Kelly Slater, Jordy Smith, Taylor Knox, Bobby Martinez, and Dane Reynolds will be ridding.

Pat Gudauskas

6’0″ x 18 3/8″ x 2 3/16″ Rookie
5’11″ x 18 5/8″ x 2 1/4″ Fred Rubble
5’11″ x 18 3/4″ x 2 1/4″ Whip epoxy
5’11″ x 18 1/2″ x 2 3/16″ The Remix

Kelly Slater

Take a closer look at the tail on the semi pro on the right. Can someone explain to me how this benefits Slater’s surfing?
