It means you can carve, cruise, and dance this baby on demand and still be able to push hard and take a bit of speed through urban terrain without it being an unruly noodle.

IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU IF…
You want a playful carving and pumping experience in a light, compact, and ultra-comfortable presentation.
You love to cruise and chill but also like the versatility of a symmetrical shape and twin kicks for the occasional tomfoolery.
You appreciate having just the right amount of flex to smooth out the road ahead.

DESIGN CONCEPT
The Chinchiller was designed in collaboration with Kyle Chin as a unique interpretation of the carving experience with a focus on comfort and inspiration for play. Subtle flex keeps the ride quality smooth but is stiff enough for more technical tricks and slides.

PLAYFUL PROPORTIONS
The compact wheelbase and topmount design produce a nimble and responsive ride. The slim outline shape with tapered tips pairs nicely with narrow to mid-size trucks for intuitive foot placement and telepathic handling. Mild concave keeps toes and heels comfortably secure.

CREATIVE, COMFY CURVES
Rocker between the trucks cradles your feet for a locked-in feel, enhances stability, and lowers the board for easier pushing. The rocker profile flattens at the inner truck holes to preserve steering geometry and creates a subtle “nano drop” for board awareness and extra support when carving and sliding.

FUNCTIONAL FEATURES
Mellow nose and tail kicks provide ample leverage for manuals, shuvits, and other tricks while keeping the board compact and streamlined. CNC-milled wheel wells allow clearance for 65mm wheels with no risers.

BIO-BASED COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION
A vertically laminated bamboo core is sandwiched between triaxial fiberglass skins and bio-based epoxy resin for high strength in a thin, lightweight construction. Snowboard-style top and bottom sheets add abrasion resistance and vibration damping.

GRAPHICS
Featuring artwork by RETOKA, a design studio founded by the Barcelona-based artist duo Toni López and Zara Castellanos. With a passion for exploring the possibilities of color, shape, light effects, and movement, they specialize in creating unique and innovative digital art pieces that showcase their own distinct visual language.
