Airush Choptop Surfboard 'Active' 2011

5’3” CHOPTOP COMPARED TO THE SKIM
• Higher volume and overall length for more classic “surf” feel.
• Larger fins allow you to drive the board off the tail.

COMPARED TO THE CONVERSE
• Shorter length, wide tail, Flatter rocker entry and slightly harder rail release edge improve flat water and onshoreperformance.
• Shorter length and grab rails increases throw around factor.
• Concave deck on 5’3”for improved strapless riding and flexibility in foot positioning.

RAILS
Tucked surf rails based on a small to medium wave surf requirements.

ROCKER
Directional rocker with a flat entry, for early planning and stability at speed. Intermediate tail rocker for snap inwave conditions. 

BOTTOM SHAPE
Single concave to Spiral double concave bottom for early planning and soft ride in chop. 

OUTLINE
Wave inspired outline with relatively far forward wide point for improved stability at speed. Due to the “over theboard” geometry we have been able to increase the speed and stability without losing throw around factor.

FINS
Lightweight, bombproof Hexcore AR-3 fins are combined with the revolutionary new Surfinz box, this new boxsystem allows up to 18mm of forwards adjustability along with heavy duty under the skin installation. The Patentedconic stainless steel screw ensures long term durability full FCS compatibility from box and fins.Standard configuration as Tri fin, with Quad fin compatibility. Recommended back set Airush AR-2. 

CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVE CARBON
Airush releases it patent pending ACTIVE technology:• As flexible as a PU board but made from high modulus carbon fiber.• The patented ACTIVE stringer does not interfere with the flex, but stops the board from breaking when theboard is placed under abnormal load.• 20% Lighter than anything else on the market, and as strong as our latest Flytech II construction.

• 5’3 - The original choptop concept started with the 5’3 by setting out to combine the abilities of a small wave surfboard with the throw around factor of a skimboard. Wide tail and flat rocker entry for incredible light wind performance, with great high wind control due to the “over the board” rider geometry. The 5’3” features a concave deck for low center of drive improved strapless performance.

• 5’8 - For medium to light-wind and heavier rider, the 5’8” offers enough buoyancy for paddle surfing up to an advanced 85 kg rider in small surf (up to shoulder high). The snub nose outline keeps the volume forward allowing for maximum planning.
