Monstachief Big Guy Shortboard

MonstaChief

Monsta 360

The ultimate big guy shortboard engineered for surfers of larger stature & power surfers

SHAPER BREAKDOWN

Specifically designed for guys in the 180 – 300lbs + range that want a versatile all-around board they can gouge away on…..in anything from 2 ft. sludge, to overhead throaters.

Taken from the original monsta design, this board is armed with folkloric dimensions on a grand scale. For instance, the flagship of the line boasts 6’4″ x 21 1/2″ x 3 1/8″ with full, boxy rails; a 14 1/2″ wide nose and 16 1/2″ wide tail. Engineered to thunder down the line like a relentless freighttrain displacing buckets of biblical proportions. Don’t go longer to have the edge on the rest of the line-up….go stouter….THICK IS THE NEW THIN!!
This board reminds us all to respect the elders of the tribe.

Are you a large human that wants to unleash buckets of biblical proportions?….get more waves and go faster than everybody.

The MonstaChief is also great for shortboarders who are aging and need a bit more volume so they don’t have to start using midlength or longboards, but can keep shortboards into their 50s, 60s, and even 70s.

This board model also excels as a board that can help you transition into shortboarding.

Ideal Small Wave Complement to MonstaChief

The MonstaFish:

“Gut that fish” – the all new modern retroactive Quad Fang uses progressive rocker & deep heavy concaves for a board that gets up on plane, and holds a rail through full-speed carves like none before it. This one comes in at a gargantuan yet fetching 6’6″ x 23 1/2″ x 3 3/8″ 60.5L MonstaFish. I’ve literally gutted the belly of the beast so she has more efficient water flow, making her speedy as all get out with no lack of fast-twitch muscle fiber rail response. Go on, and manhandle the baby. Other features include 80s style flat deck to pack on the liters combined with sloped, downrails and hard edges to knife your corners at zip-stitch top velocity. Nose features a subtle beaky buzzard.

This board combines a modernized, sleeked up retro fish outline with a progressive rocker and one-of-a-kind freaky hull contours. Glide or gouge, float or carve, crouch low with five on the nose, or stand tall and arch the back.

Shaper's Note

The uniqely refined rocker and distinct concaves of the MonstaChief allows it to catch everything super easy (other people in the lineup actually get a bit disgusted with how many waves people are able to catch on this board), and the heavy concave under the front foot combined with a flatter area in the rocker between the feet provides a one of a kind performance that allows for incredible speed off the front foot, but with powerful turns that hold through when you jam on the tail to rail it through. I have been doing a version of this board with a slightly more pulled in tail actually lately quite a lot from people requesting just that….and the feedback is very good for quicker turning. I’m pretty much sticking to the wider tails for surfers wanting plenty of planing area mostly at mushier waves spots.

MonstaChief Rocker Options

the v.1

even single with inset doubles to slight vee off the back fin. a predictable drivey feel that caters to a front footed approach;

the HD

deep single to super deep single with inset double bonzeresque concaves through the fins, with single concave running off the tail block; “exhaust pipe”. Ideal for small scale to full throttle waves; incredible back foot control through on-rail full-speed cutties.

MonstaChief -F (Flat rocker)

For flatter faced slopier waves that tend to lack power. A flatter, drivier rocker also featuring Todd’s new jetstream/ hydrofoilized hull concept. A favorite for surfer’s wanting a lot of smooth speed and lateral lift and exceptional hold through turns from their board. I use a flat deck with down rails in this model to put maximum foam and liters into the board while still keeping the rails sensitive and able to knife into the wave face, keeping them nice and responsive. A very unique, futuristic new design of Todd’s that is transforming so many surfer’s experience in the water. Favors the wide squashtail for maximum lift in waves that lack energy.
