    Chubby Chedda

    http://www.firewiresurfboards.com/su...=chubby_chedda


    Designed by Luke Short, the Chubby Chedda is a refined version of the original Chubby Checker, a favorite of many including Julian Wilson when he’s free surfing or pushing it in expression sessions.

    Luke widened the outline slightly while adding a subtle hip behind the front fins, adding more whip through turns. The concaves are also deeper, creating more ‘get up and go’, and the tail rocker has been accentuated for the perfect blend of speed and responsiveness.

    The Chubby Chedda is best described as a ‘performance-hybrid’, and should be ridden at least two inches shorter than your standard high performance short board. And if push comes to shove, the design will hold its own in overhead surf as well.

    I ride the WCTs for playful stuff and EA Blackstix if I am on a punchier beach break. Rode the AM2s in it and they weren't for me...

    The wide point is further forward and its rides with a slightly longer rail. Its not a lot flatter but that added length from the tail to the wide point gives it a little extra speed.

    Looks like a pretty hefty tail rocker from the photos I've seen. Or could that be lens distortion?
    If I don't click with the Vanguard I think one of these will be on order...

    yeah its not a crazy tail rocker. still a lot of hybrid in it. rides well. The concave is sick. makes the tail super responsive.
