The Lib Tech Chop is just that: chopped, squashed, tubbed, and ready to rocket into the future of wakesurfing. As surf waves get bigger, our boards need to shrink to save us from burying the nose on the way down the wave. The Chop makes this all possible by adding thickness and increasing volume across the board to give you the pace you normally get from a longer board. The most significant advantage of this snub-nosed shorter profile is both on performance and speed, allowing you to generate still fantastic speed as well as incredible pop off the top of the wave, providing you with the essential tools to stomp airs and tricks with ease. A faster, flatter low rocker bottom will also work to provide pace down the line and an easier release on the wave, which, combined with a quad fin style, will allow you to customise the level of hold and release that suits you best. And then it wouldn't be a lib tech product without a crazy concoction internally; the Eco Impacto construction is a mouthful and a lot to breakdown (get complete full nerd below), but it offers a fantasticzing feel on the wave with a wild level of durability, eliminating chances of heel dings and potential knocks on the boats or the racks.
Materials & Construction
- The Eco Impact Construction - Technologically Tougher and Environmentally Nicer (Get out your bunsen burners and beakers people, it's about to get sciency up in here 👇. From the inside out)
- Nitrogen Cell Foam with Engineered Verticle Cell Structure - A non-toxic, water repellent, high compressions strength core for your surfer. And it's lightweight.
- Magnesium Fibre on Top - It's dang tough and resilient, built for high impact and resilience.
- Basalt Fibreglass on Base - A Lib-Tech essential, both strong and eco-friendly, it also adds a dampening property to absorb impacts on choppy water or landings.
- Hexylon Fiber Foam Skin - Strong, it's all strong, stopping dings and creating an extra vibration-dampening layer.
- Low VOC Bio Matrix Resin - Eco-Friendly resin, this is more for the guys making your board and the environment, but bonds and allows you to ride as well as any around.
- G-Glass - The final outer layer
- Elasto Perimeter Dampening Fiber Rail - Stopping you from dinging the most dingable part of your board, the rail.

Shape
- Traditional Surf Profile - This traditional width with a standard tail taper gives you a comfortable foundation to surf on that gives you the ability to stand tall or really push into those rails and drive response.
- Wider Wedge Tail - Provides a wider base in the tail so you can get an explosive pop off the wave.
Rail
-
Dynamic Up Rail - Allows the surfer to feel smooth and precise up the wave and in transition.
- Hard Edge Exit Rail - Gives you stability and control off the lip and on landing.
Base
- Low Rocker Bottom - A faster, flatter base design, allowing the board to generate massive down-the-line speed to prepare you for your next move.
