Our friends at On Board Industries in Sydney, Australia checked in with Soli Bailey to see What’s Going On? Soli offers insights about his childhood, winning the 2017 Volcom Pipe Pro, and quiver, which includes the FishBeard, Neckbeard 2, CI Mid.
Soli's Signature Traction
Mixed groove technology combines the classic diamond groove with vertical grooves in the traction running front to back. This creates increased traction side to side without disrupting front to back foot movement.
FishBeard
The FishBeard is pure business in the front and all party in the back. Get forward on this user-friendly board and drive from the center and you’ll have all the speed and flow you always desired. Step back on the tail to engage the fins and rails, which provides you hold, pivot, projection and the freedom to rip as hard as ever.
Neckbeard 2
A big fan of single concave, Dane Reynolds asked Britt to take out the vee from the original Neckbeard, creating single throughout. This changed the rocker landscape some, but in a very positive way—enhancing its wave entry, down-the-line speed, and overall control. They also widened the tail block 1/2” and added a slight hip, resulting in increased responsiveness and maneuverability.
CI Mid
The CI Mid is a modern classic design resulting from a fun collaboration with Devon Howard, a southern California surfer that has spent the past two decades riding and refining boards of this genre. The new model has been flying off the shelves, so the best way to guarantee you get yours is by building a custom.
