Christenson Series-Part 3

The final chapter of our Chris Christenson Surfboard series. Today we opened up the mid-range sizes and boy do they look like fun. 

6'6 Submariner

This is my current displacement hull design. This design has a very low rocker for effortless drive and trim. The bottom is complex, featuring convex and concave planning surfaces that transition together smoothly. I recommend riding this board with a flex fin 11 ½” up from the tail and stringerless to allow the board to load and spring.

6'2 C-Hawk

This is my current rocket fish design. I recommend riding this board 3 inches shorter than a performance short board and 2-3” longer than a keel fin fish. This model comes with 5” twin fins (future) and a single wing swallowtail. Very fast and responsive and can handle sizeable surf as well grovel in gutless conditions. This board does hold extremely well and does not have that wiggly unstable feel that most twin fin designs have. Hit the turbo button by adding 4/6 channels in the tail. However, keep the channels out of non-glassy conditions.

5'10 Beausoleil

This model is a hybrid of the Ocean racer and the CFO. This model was developed my Mikey Detemple and I to get more radius on rail than the Ocean Racer and CFO but still maintain the trim and glide feeling from these models. This board comes standard as a quad and about 1 1/2" narrower than the Ocean Racer which makes this board extremely loose. I recommend riding this board 5-6" shorter than your standard short board. 

5'8 Beausoleil

See description above.

6'0 Caferacer (We now have 3 in stock!)

This model was designed to perform like a fish but offer more performance and a tighter radius on rail eliminating the sticky feel backside that most fish designs have. I recommend this board as a quad. A five fin option is available to have the option of riding this board as a quad or a thruster. This is also a great board for a novice trying to transition from a long board to a short board. I don’t recommend this board in overhead surf.

Day 2 of Christenson Madness

5'3 Ocean Racer

First of all, I need to give credit to Richard Kenvin for bringing this style of craft to life. This board has many features from my fish design; low rails, belly in the nose, single concave thru the fin region, and low rocker. The round nose offers more paddling power to keep the board short as possible for performance. The step in the nose displaces the volume out of the wide plan shape to make the board lighter, more flexible, and more responsive. The dual marine ply fins offer drive and hold with positive buoyancy. The straight back and rounded corners of the tail offer more release in the pocket than other fish designs. This model is currently one of my best sellers and I highly recommend one in every quiver.

5'6 Beausoleil

 This model is a hybrid of the Ocean racer and the CFO. This model was developed my Mikey Detemple and I to get more radius on rail than the Ocean Racer and CFO but still maintain the trim and glide feeling from these models. This board comes standard as a quad and about 1 1/2" narrower than the Ocean Racer which makes this board extremely loose. I recommend riding this board 5-6" shorter than your standard short board.

5'10 Ocean Pro 3

The Ocean Pro series is a collaborative design series from my pro riders and other traveling pro surfers. Brad Gerlach, Greg Long and Ian Walsh keep all three models in their quivers.

The Ocean Pro 3 is the best all around board in this series. It has the widest nose and the most rocker nose to tail out of all the boards in this series. Available in both single and triple concaves based on rider preference. The rocker is continual nose to tail keeping it slight to the eye. The continual rocker helps keep the board very responsive and the wider nose offers the best paddling power out of all the boards in this series.

5'10 Ocean Avenger

The Ocean Avenger is a high performance grovel design. I recommend riding this model 2-4” shorter and 1 “ wider than your standard performance short board. A wider nose and tail add surface area to give the board drive in gutless conditions. The double bump wings in the tail break the outline down to add more pivot in the pocket. This board comes with a swallowtail and a 5 fin configuration so you can ride the board as a quad or a thruster. A lot of my riders like to add 4 channels in the tail to add even more drive. However, channels are not recommended in “non-glassy” conditions.
