THE MYCONAUT, FUN WITH A BUTTERY & NATURAL FEELING

The Myconaut takes the key characteristics of the Chris Fish and Nautilus to create an extra fun small wave package. Its subtle vee, that runs just through the whole board, adds that little rail square and just allows you to tip it. Lot of concavewhich lets youreally getting it right over on the rail. Thats such a nice feeling down to lean over on the board.

Talking about quads in general, Tom Carroll, the surfing legend, sees them as an evolutionary sort of movement of the last single fin on the board, sort of splitting off. This helps that vortex thats created of a twin fin, so with a quad extends the sweet spot. Whereas a twin fin, you kind of got it just concentrated in one spot.

The goods for me are in that little vee that runs right through it. That just made it really nice and predictable. There was no sort of craziness in the board, but it had all the drive and all the kind of fun aspects of a fish and it was pretty kind of free of the tail. I wasnt getting caught. Tom Carrol

For all surfers at every level, the main goal is generating speed and trying to do it in the most natural and beautiful way without forcing it. I think that is what got me so excited straight off the first bank. I didnt even do anything on my first wave. I just went straight and I was freaking out feeling it.Luca Elder

The line of the back, mixed in with the vee and the quad, helps you really hold. It will flow supernaturally, no fishy, slidy or twitchy feeling with this one; it will get locked in on a keel.Like the split keel; it will allow you to sort of be a lot freer on turns.

This board screams fun just looking at it for the first time. Once you get it in the water, just feels right. It disperses the foam in the right places and it feels just natural and buttery under your feet.

CHRIS CHRISTENSON, THE RAD SHAPER

Waves or snow? Well, Chris Christenson feels at home in any of them. 3-5 ft waves or 2 ft of fresh powder, he crosses over both with a natural instinct to it. For him, is a question of feeling, of living the experience and adapting to it. He has dedicated his love for both, surfing and snowboarding, building his life around them.

But lets focus on surfing for now. Hes a world class surfer in his own right, and a unique shaper for the raddest most diverse boards out there for his label Christenson Surfboards. We can call him to be a mysterious artist. One that prefers its surfboards to speak on their own instead of rambling around features and specifics about what to expect of them.

The Chris Fish is one of the favourite boards for most surfers in the world You might say theres a reason for that and we agree.
