Salt Gypsy | Chi Chi Surfboard | Fibreglass | Improve Your Wave Count

The Salt Gypsy Chi Chi aims to improve your wave count, it has a huge range. This board has the rocker tuned for a shortboard, and we have dropped the volume per size ratio so it fits within the Salt Gypsy mandate to suit women’s smaller frames. It’s a fast board that offers plenty of flow, and is the perfect choice for maximising your wave count even when the conditions aren’t perfect.
OUTLINE: The nose and tail dimensions at 12″ are the same, creating a larger sweet spot, and a more stable planning zone. The full nose further adds to the stability, and the tail allows the width to extend further back, while still achieving the smooth transitions between turns that a round tail is famous for.
ROCKER: With an emphasis on everyday conditions; flat equals flow, so the Chi Chi will slide into waves with ease, and maintain its speed over dead sections with minimal effort. Slight lift in the nose and tail will satisfy the more experienced rider looking for a summer groveller.
CONTOURS: Subtle yet effective, the slight concave up front creates lift when taking off, then a double concave starting in the mid zone leads into a shallow rolled vee off the tail. This bottom combination maintains exceptional speed in softer waves, yet provides a nice balance of control versus quick turning response when pivoting right off the tail.
PERFORMANCE: The Chi Chi is fast from the second you get to your feet, and super easy to turn. Think summer beach breaks or soft point waves where you need a board with enough foam and buoyancy to get you going, but don’t want to restrict how you want to perform on a wave.
