Whether new to surfing or just looking to enjoy a cruisy session, the all-new Chancho is a super user-friendly, stable board that catches waves with ease. The Chancho boasts generous volume for its mid-length size and features a low-nose rocker for early wave entry. Its subtle vee-bottom contours that run through the fins help it turn effortlessly.
An offspring of the popular Water Hog model, the Chancho is available in X-Lite construction.
Construction - X-Lite Technology by Torq Surfboards
X-Lite is a torq Epoxy technology developed specifically for performance boards. This is lighter, stronger and more Eco than a traditional PU/Polyester board, now with a 50% thinner Shield Skin for weight reduction. This innovative technology is used exclusively on the X-Lite Channel Islands models; the best-selling Pod Mod and all new Chancho.
X-Lite technology now features an additional wood layer sandwich between the two deck biaxial layers. This wood composite is incredibly ding resistant but without adding stiffness usually associated with strength.
Fins included: None
A quick note about our photos!
We use a mix of official brand images and real-life shots from our warehouse to help you make an informed decision.
That said, what you see might differ slightly from what you receive — simply because we can't photograph every possible variation.
For example, a photo might show a 6'2 board with Futures fin boxes, while you've selected a 5'10 with FCS II. Don’t worry — you’ll get exactly what you ordered.
Sometimes, small details like the logo, its placement or overall colour tones can vary slightly depending on the production batch, camera, lighting, or even your screen settings.
These are always only minor differences, and in most cases, the photos are spot on - but we totally get that buying online can feel tricky. If you ever want more details, just drop us a message — we're happy to help!
