CK Chip In Plastic Fantastic Surfboard

The CK Chip In Plastic Fantastic Surfboard is a fast, fun, and user-friendly performance hybrid built for surfers who want easy paddling, smooth glide, and quick response in everyday Southern California waves. Hand-shaped and glassed by Plastic Fantastic Surfboards, this board blends classic California fish influence with a more modern, drivey shortboard feel.

With a wide 20" platform, 2 1/2" thickness, rounded pin modern hybrid tail, and quad Futures fin setup, the Chip In is made to accelerate quickly, hold clean lines, and flow smoothly through rail-to-rail transitions. It is stable and forgiving enough for progressing surfers while still offering the speed and maneuverability more experienced riders want in smaller-to-mid-sized surf.

Why It Works

• 5'3", 5'5", 5'7", 5'9" length keeps the board compact, quick, and easy to redirect.

• Rounded pin modern hybrid tail blends control, hold, and smooth turning.
• Quad Futures fin setup adds speed, drive, and hold down the line.
• Hand-shaped and glassed construction gives the board a custom, crafted feel.
• Forgiving platform makes it approachable for beginner-to-intermediate surfers while still being fun for advanced riders.
