La

Chancla

A high-performance tweak on a classic template

Inspired directly by Ryan Burch’s redefinition of twin fin fish designs and surfing in the 2015 film Psychic Migrations, this sidecut style fish is a shred machine marrying the loose, effortless speed of a classic fish with the radical aggression of modern shortboard surfing. 

The sidecut feature is a high-performance tweak on a classic template.  The break in the template is positioned between the feet of the rider, creating a pivot point ahead of the fins, which allows for a tighter arcing turn than a traditional fish template.  A touch of extra tail rocker and a single concave bottom combine for an incredibly sensitive and responsive ride.  Fly down the line, hit the lip, wrap it around, and repeat.
