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

We can finally claim with full confidence that this is the fastest model we have ever created. The third installment to our Chem Zen line.

The Zen board line has been a favorite of our customers looking for a forward volume board to get in early on heavy, hollow surf. The Zen3 was built off the need to get into waves easily and to go as fast as possible down the line. This characteristic alone not only makes this ultra-versatile model work well in hollow surf but below average surf as well.

The bottom contour is a slight single concave into a deep double concave running off the tail. For the beginner order this model obviously bigger and for the more experienced, high-performance surfer, 3″ – 4″ shorter and 1″ – 2″ wider. Designed by Jason Bennett.

This board has more width in the nose and tail which helps it plane easier and maintain speed. It also has a relaxed rocker making it a great paddler.

Order this model 2″ shorter and 1/2″ – 1″ wider than your standard shortboard to excel in smaller waves. Order it your standard shortboard dimensions and feel the benefits of a wider nose and tail, with a lower rocker.

4X4 is best ridden with a quad set up. This set up combined with the channels works seamlessly. 4×4 = Four Channels, Four Fins, For Fun.

With the 4 x 4 design we took our Wide J 6 model and modified the double wings to slight double bumps giving the board a more forgiving feel while keeping the desired straighter outline

The outline in the front half stays the same as always with the full forward forgiving nose area that just eats up dead sections while the main change in this edition is we removed the flyer all together and replaced it with an aggressive hip which leads into a straight rail line giving way more drive than ever before and more well rounded smoothness to the overall feel of the board.

With a slight single concave between the feet for lift and a slight vee double concave in the last 6” of the tail, helps with the transition on rail that these types of designs tend to lack due to the curvy outline and finishing with a “Stealth Swallow” for nice bite and control. Ride 4” shorter than your “regular” board.

This latest creation has slightly altered straighter tail rocker combined with a deep vee double concave and a really flat entry rocker with full nose outline and a more tapered forward rail so the wider nose outline bit in rather pushes away when initiating your turns but with solid drive from the back end of the board from the double concave with vee bottom configuration. Running a slight hip just before the fins frees up the width the board carries in the outline which does two things:
a) Breaks the outline to enhance response and
b) Adds some drive off the straighter rail line which runs into a squash round tail for an overall smooth feel.

Bridging the gap between your modern small wave performance board and your summer concept grovel board. Ride 3” to 4” shorter than your regular board.

The bottom consists of a feeder concave under your chest to enhance the instant planning speed you get from the flat entry rocker that leads into the flat mid section then into a deep spiral vee double concave that continues to run right off the super wide shallow diamond tail block.

The specifically designed bottom allows the wide outline to be easily transferred onto the rail with speed when you want to project a turn or throw some heat on a small section. Another new feature is the concave deck which takes a little bit of volume out of the deck either side of the stringer which doesn’t affect the center thickness so it gives you the feeling of standing into the board with a lower sense of gravity with some added sensitivity so you can really feel the flow.

5 fin set up but really surf at its best as a quad fin for good projection and run. Ride 7” to 8” inches shorter than your regular board.

Slight volume increase for paddling without sacrificing performance when on rail, Fuller nose outline and tail block for forgiveness yet still quick enough rail to rail.

A more subtle single to double concave hull creates enough lift when its smaller but still ultra-smooth through turn’s.

If you want to just go back to riding one all-round short board most of the time in wave’s 1’ to 5 feet, this is the one ……

Fast fun surfing with drive off the bottom. The Vampirate Evil Twin can be surfed nice and short, making it maneuverable in the pocket of the wave. The short length and extra width make this board ideal for fun small reef breaks and beachies.
