Whether you're 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 medium size, the Chancho offers plenty of volume and a flat nose rocker that makes it possible to catch waves early. Its V-bottom outline, which runs through the fins to the tail, helps with effortless turning.
The board is an evolution of the popular WATER HOG board from shaper Al Merrick.

TORQ X-LITE TECHNOLOGY
The Torq X-Lite technology takes the already innovative epoxy construction into unimagined areas in terms of weight and performance.
The core of the boards consists of a specially manufactured 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 over the surface and thus protects against dings and heel dents.
The underside is provided with a torsion-resistant carbon strip, which controls the flex and makes the board incredibly responsive.
The X-Lite construction is characterized by its more environmentally friendly production process and unmatched weight to strength ratio compared to conventional PU/polyester construction.
