The Chief HV PE 2.0 takes our flagship high volume "big rider" model to a more versatile, higher performance template. It's the PE core Chief for those of you in cooler water or who want a bit more flex in your ride. The PE core brings a touch of flex, and a single carbon fiber stringer and slick mesh control it. The package is completed with an HDPE slick and graduated channels, while keeping the 60mm thickness and extra width that have made the Chief the go-to for riders over 200 lbs (90 kg).
WHO IS THIS BOARD FOR?
Ideal Rider Profile
