Christenson Hole Shot

“I always go back to that iconic Michael Peterson turn. The Hole Shot is my snowboard for the water.” - Chris Christenson 

The Hole Shot is a new and exciting exploration of Chris’s unconventional avant-garde performance designs.  This model is designed for all types of surf and is a great travel companion. Currently this model is Chris’s favorite board in his personal quiver.  The recommended length is 1-3” shorter than your height up to 6” over your height.  Let the rails do the work. 

Specifications:

  • 5’4 19 x 2 1/4 
  • 5’5 19 1/4 x 2 5/16
  • 5’6 19 1/2 x 2 3/8
  • 5’7 19 3/4 x 2 7/16 
  • 5’8 20 x 2 7/16 
  • 5’9 20 1/4 x 2 7/16
  • 5’10 20 1/2 x 2 1/2 
  • 5’11 20 3/4 x 2 9/16 
  • 6’0 21 x 2 5/8 
  • 6’2 21 1/8 x 2 11/16
  • 6’4 21 3/8 x 2 11/16
  • 6’6 21 1/2 x 2 3/4
  • 6’8 21 1/2 x 2 3/4 

Christenson Surfer Rosa 2.0 

“Shortboard - hybrid performance with that CC feel, momentum and glide.” - Chris Christenson 

The Surfer Rosa is a simple yet modern unconventional design that allows for stylish performance in waist to head high surf.  This model is also a great “big boy” thruster for those with linebacker builds.  The recommended length is 0-2” shorter than your height.  But for those that prefer the longer rail, 2-5” above your height. Definitely a bit of Nautilus DNA, and the perfect step down from your Nautilus. 

Updates to the Surfer Rosa 2.0 include a cleaner foil throughout, more outline curve out the back, with a slightly smaller tail block. The front fins are also set slighter further off the rail. This frees the board up through the turns, allowing it to go virtually anywhere on the wave. 

Specifications

  • 5’10 20 1/4 x 2 1/2
  • 6’0 20 1/2 x 2 9/16
  • 6’2 20 3/4 x 2 5/8
  • 6’4 20 7/8 x 2 11/16
  • 6’6 21 x 2 3/4
  • 6’8 21 1/2 x 2 7/8
  • 6’10 21 1/2 x 3

Christenson Long Phish 2.0

“This is a great model for the longer rail enthusiasts that like high lines, top speeds with style, and ease at trim.” - Chris Christenson 

The Long Phish is our mid size fish design. This is a great model for the longer rail enthusiasts that like high lines, top speeds with style, and ease at trim. This board will work in a variety of wave heights from waist to DOH surf. To get the proper long rail feel, the recommended lengths are 6'4 and above. The length has no correlation with riders height, it's more of a desired taste of sensation.

Updates on the Long Phish 2.0 include increased  nose rocker, step deck foil forward, increased outline curve out the back and a reverse vee bottom shape. All of these changes produce a design that is more maneuverable, with the ability to go more vertical on the wave face. 

Specifications:

  • 6’4 x 20 5/8 x 2 9/16
  • 6’6 x 20 3/4 x 2 5/8
  • 6’8 x 20 7/8 x 2 11/16
  • 6’10 x 21 x 2 3/4
  • 7’0 x 21 1/8 x 2 13/16
  • 7’2 x 21 1/4 x 2 7/8
  • 7’4 x 21 3/8 x 2 7/8
  • 7’6 x 21 1/2 x 3
