High-Performance like no other!
The Chopstix is a collaboration between NSP and some of its top riders requesting an allround high-performance shortboard that would allow them to surf at the top of their game when the surf is absolutely firing.
The board is built with NSP’s Shapers Union high-performance custom surf epoxy layup. Our most seasoned shapers picked a unique glassing schedule, instead of a one-size-fits-all technology.
Bottom : Single concave
Rider : Intermediate – pro
Wave Type : 1ft – triple overhead
Design:
The shape features a clean, rounded tail with a thruster fin set-up, combined with a single concave running the length of the board and a unique low-forward rocker allowing you to get into waves early and providing massive acceleration and speed control once surfing.
The essence of the Chopstix is an absurdly predictable board for critical moments and a solid platform for driving off the tail, while giving snaps and gouges a powerful feel.
Fins:
Available with FTU fin boxes and compatible with Futures® Fins (fins not included).

We build these with a high-performance custom surf epoxy lay-up, with a UV-stable resin and satin rub finish. Combined with a CNC-cut EPS core, hand shaped to detail, with wet lamination of full 220g (8oz) biax glass + 4oz deck and 4oz bottom + 4oz fin patch and fiber-reinforced tail patches, this lightweight, shortboard offers plenty of flex giving you a board that generates speed like no other.
