With all the hype surrounding freshwater wave pools, and having Chemistry ambassador, Cheyne Magnusson, operating the B.S.R. wave pool in Waco Texas, we decided to build a model catered to freshwater surfing.

The “Pool Toy” was developed by Jason Bennett with the need to create a high-performance board that will fit in the tight pockets of man-made waves

The tail also boasts an extreme hip creating a “sweet spot” for increased maneuverability without the loss of speed. Lastly, the fin cluster is pushed back because of the tail width and hip, enabling maximum control without the drifty feel usually associated with wider tail blocks and hips.

The 4 channels give the board a bit more bite on the wave, but not too much where you won’t be able to turn it. The Chem Zenagain is a modern version of a proven design that has been a staple in our line up since 2010.

Bottom contour: double concave to vee or 4 channel

Tail: thumb, baby swallow

Ride the R2+ as a more performance everyday shortboard or order it bigger as a step up in larger surf.

We recommend a five-fin setup for this model to allow you to ride as a thruster in performance conditions or as a quad when you need that extra speed boost in waves of consequence.

The R2 has a gradual nose and tail rocker as well as a slight single concave throughout the board

Our newest performance shortboard in collaboration with Chemistry’s team riders. The Side-A model fits between our user friendly R2 model and our most high-performance board the B-Side. The Side-A has a deep single concave which allows this model to gain speed very quickly. The nose is more pulled in than our R2, and the back half of the outline is a bit straighter which allows you to gain maximum speed effortlessly.

Combined with a late flip in the last 6” of the tail which offers nice release when in those tighter sections, a concept extensively developed with the team where they wanted more drive out of their RPM model.

The R-NINE maintains a slightly fuller outline, which is becoming the norm in MP’s performance short board range and a rounder rounded squaretail for an overall smoothness.

Think RPM with lots more drive!

The main design change comes from the single concave to vee off the swallow tail which has made it really whippy in tight pocket sections yet still drivey due to the straighter center line rocker that the Zero models are renowned for, then rounded out with a bit of bite from the swallow tail block.

Generous volume distribution through the deck ensures forgiveness yet slightly tapered in the rail for sensitivity and quicker reaction when put on rail which is vital when performing in steeper small waves. Designed for small wave surfing with a good wave approach would best describe where this model sits in the range.

Incorporates a really smooth medium rocker combined with a round pin tail for enough hold without sacrificing manoeuvrability and a deep single concave giving the board a really smooth responsive feel yet still being able to push it hard through your turns.

Versatile enough to be ridden as your standard short board but really comes into its own when the waves turn on.

Perfect step up addition for those Indo trips.

A board that can still be surfed vertically but fly over dead sections. Its modern profile design was the key to making this board fast with tight arced turns.

Ride 3” shorter and 3/8” wider.
