The Chi Chi is our newest addition to our SG quiver and we couldn't be more stoked.
This board is fast from the second you get to your feet and super easy to turn. Think summer beach breaks or soft point waves where you need a board with enough foam and buoyancy to get you going, but don’t want to restrict how you want to perform on a wave.
Designed to satisfy a wide range of abilities and surf conditions, from beach breaks to points and reefs.
The Salt Gypsy Chi Chi shortboard targets women and girls moving down in size from a mid-length or longboard and wanting to really whet their appetite for punchier, bigger surf on a shorter board and really get their wave count up.

Construction
Polyester or PU construction uses traditional materials and laminating techniques to produce a strong, reliable surfboard with high-quality finishes. All polyester boards are CNC milled from the shapers files and laminated by hand using quality components such as Hexcel fiberglass, Silmar resin and Bennett foam.
For years traditional polyester boards have been at the forefront of performance surfing. These boards feature a progressive flex pattern controlled by a high-grade timber stringer and feel very reliable under your feet. Polyester construction will perform in all surf conditions and can be adapted to suit a wide variety of surfboard models.
