Chop Stick 9'0"
9'0 X 23 5/8" X 3 5/8" (90L) 7.7KG
The 9'0 is a new addition to the Softlite range. We would recommend this for beginner riders weighing 85kg+, although if you are an experienced surfer of any weight, you'd be able to use this to get your wave count up on the smaller days.
The 9'0 uses our Mini Mal Shape template. This is ideal for learning as they paddle fast, allowing you to catch more waves, and give you a little more time to get to your feet. Once your up and riding, the wider nose makes them extremely stable.
Don't discount this board if your already a competent surfer though. Having one of these in your quiver is a surefire way to ensure there is no waves too small or too crowded, so you'll be surfing more than ever!
*Fins Included
100% Waterproof Moulded EPS Core
This core provide unhindered strength and enhanced durability while retaining light weigh characteristics.
Softlite Boards are created from exclusively owned moulds. These have been created and refined through a collaboration of renowned surfboard shapers and team riders.
Using moulded cores allows for a tougher core and ensures all boards are consistently high quality with no imperfections.
10lb PE Deck skin

Exoskeletal Strength Membrane
The ESM is a unique layer fused between the EPS Core and PE Deckskin. It increases durability and impact absorption, while also providing a high strength lamination between these two materials.
Tail Buffers
We use an extra layer of PE for increased impact absorption in heavy use areas.

This fin system allows quick and easy fin installation and removal. It is compatible with other fin types so you can change fins to suit conditions or alter board performance.
It also allows a deck with no visible fin screws.

Sizing Tip - Its best to use your discretion here a little. Kids (they are often a bit more agile) or people with a bit of previous ocean experience are generally best suited to the higher end of the recommended weight scale. Adults or Complete learners are probably best suited towards the lower end of the weight scale.
