THE CHUNNEL
Length 6’4”-7’2”
AKA THE DOOR. This is a model we’ve been working on for a few years on and off. I only recently made a new version for a team mate which turned out to be magic, so I set about making it available as a custom order.
It originally came off a Simmons style bottom and plan shape, with a more user friendly all-round design.
The latest version has proven to be a weapon in better, punchier surf. Especially beach breaks (so far).
The rocker has a full curve all the way through with a high nose and tail which allows the board to fit into steeper waves. Even with the wide tail block.
The dominant wing keeps the rail line straighter for speed and pulls the tail in for more control.
Slight vee entry in the nose blending into a single concave through the middle to what we call a ‘Chunnel’. A wide single channel between the fins and out through the tail.
A define line from the Chunnel runs parallel to the fins. The fins sit on a vee panel the same as the Mad Fish. This allows a full 9 degree cant angle on the side fins as it’s set up as thruster and turns really fast and easy off the panels.
A hard tucked rail edge, again same as the keel fish, for loads of hold on the tuck curve and release and drive off the sharper edges.
This Model will grovel due to its size and obviously floatation, but primarily designed for bigger and better waves.
An unusual concept that works.!!
A shorter, wider flatter version for smaller waves is in the R&D stages so we’ll have to come back to that one in the future.
A performance Simster, Hydrodynamica style board, feedback’s been amazing.!!!
As always with all of our models this one can be customised with a variety of Dims…The Beauty of Custom Shapes!
