The Chub was designed to give its riders a slight feel of a regular skateboard deck, while still maintaining all of the functions of a longboard. It has a small kick on the nose and a large kick on the tail for creative freestyle. The shorter wheel base and extra concave allow for great, locked in control, while pumping and carving. This design is best applicable in destinations that require extra tight maneuvering, and lots of high energy return for creative skating. A must-have for boarders who want to cruise around tight quarters on sidewalks and still be able to get some air time.

Flex 1, 2, or 3: Depending on your weight and/or riding style, you choose how stiff or flexible you want your board. The softer flex will allow you to make tighter turns, give you more control at lower speeds, soften/cushion your ride, and it will make it easier to slide. The stiffer flex has more energy return, makes some tricks and freeriding easier, and is more stable at high speeds.

Medium Level of Camber: Designed to be comfortable for all riders big and small.
Several Coats of Professional Grade Finish Epoxy: Shiny and durable.
