CHANNEL ISLANDS X-lite Chancho 7.6 surfboard blue

Whether you are a beginner surfer or just want to enjoy a cruise session, the Chancho is a super easy-to-surf, stable board that catches waves effortlessly. For its mid-length size, the Chancho offers plenty of volume and a flat nose rocker that makes it possible to catch waves early. Its V-bottom contour, which runs through the fins to the tail, helps with effortless turning. The board is a further development of the popular WATER HOG board by shaper Al Merrick. Dimensions Volume 7.6 x 22 x 2 7/8 56 Lit Fin box: Futures Thruster Included in delivery: board without fins TORQ X-LITE TECHNOLOGY Torq X-Lite technology takes the already innovative epoxy construction to unimagined levels in terms of weight and performance. The core of the boards consists of a custom-made high-precision EPS blank, which is coated with biaxial fabric and epoxy resin. On the deck of the X-Lite boards, an additional layer of wood sandwich is incorporated, which distributes the pressure of impacts evenly across the surface and thus protects against dings and heel dents. The underside is equipped with a torsionally stiff carbon strip that controls the flex and makes the board incredibly responsive. Compared to conventional PU/polyester construction, the X-Lite design is characterized by its more environmentally friendly production process and its unmatched ratio of weight to robustness.
