This is the loaded chubby unicorn.



From the land of marshmallow clouds and rainbow brittle, the Chubby Unicorn comes out of fantasy and into reality for downhill, freeride, and freestyle skateboarding. After years of downhill skating experience and perspective, the Chubby blends a ton of awesome features, innovative materials and crazy production techniques to create a badass shred stick. This board has been in production, prototyping and testing for 4 years, its final open release date is December 4th with a opening price of $360 for the deck. Some of the beautiful fautures include: wheel well flairs above the surface of the deck, making extra wheel clearance so you can run larger wheels minimizeing the chance of whell bite, while also creating an nice concave boost for your feet.
urethane sidewalls: A sidewall of hard Orangatang urethane is poured around the board’s edges. Bonded to the wood and fiberglass , the sidewall makes it very water resistant and protects it from damage and hitting agaist curbs.
Rocker: throughout the board its has a slight bend to it, creating a nice crataling feel as well as lowering the board making it slightly more stable.
Symetrical Shape: making it the exact same no matter which way you ride it, making it nice for technical freeride and tricks.
UHMWPE bottom: the bottom layer of the board is uhmwpe(very commonly used in slide pucks) keeping it water resistant and scratch resistant .
Big Kicktails: for doing awesome tricks and holding out sick manuals, even the tails have concave so you'll want to use them even more, its all you want in one board!
 Freeride and downhill concave and shape and huge kicks for sweet freestyle tricks.
