We highly recommend this shape for beginner / start up riders. Well suited to even experienced surfers of any age or level especially on smaller days to get those little rummers. Having one of these in your quiver is a surefire way to ensure there is no waves too small or too crowded, so you'll be surfing more than ever Chop Stick uses our Mini Mal Shape template. This is ideal for learning as they paddle fast, allowing you to catch more waves, and give you a little more time to get to your feet. Once your up and riding, the wider nose makes them extremely stable. Compared to some of the other 7'6's on the market, there are 2 main features which we believe puts the Chopstick above the rest. Thickness- Our Chop Sticks are a touch thinner than most of our competitors. Once you've a got a few weeks of surfing under your belt, this ensures your board doesn't hold you back once you start ripping! Rail Profiles - Due to our Moulded Core process, we have been able to refine our rails profiles (particularly at the front end), so they are nice and rounded, and not sharp and bulky. This help to stop you from nosediving & catching rails while riding, and similarly to the thickness, makes the board a bit more responsive through turns.
