Easy paddling, enough volume to keep your momentum on the fatter sections of the wave and Al Merrick has put a nice little hip on the tail just in front of the fins.  This hip combined with a relatively narrow tail make the Channel Islands Average Joe quite manoeuvrable in small surf.

The width in the center of the board allows you to generate a lot of rail to rail speed which is pretty useful to get across those fatter section and make the next section.
