"Chucky-san" takes on the small waves at Huntington Beach on "ZEKE"!
I've gained weight since I was 70kg and now I weigh 80kg. The giant "Chucky" is available on PLACEBO "ZEKE" FLEXLITE-ULTIMATE I went out and tried out the small waves at Huntington Beach, so check out the photos below. The bike I'm riding is a 5'5" ZEKE 32CL. The recommended weight is 55-70kg, which is significantly more than that. Chucky's surfing skills, The design of "ZEKE" itself is excellent. This is how ZEKE tackled the small waves that it excels at. Chucky is fat but not tall, I chose the 5'5" size for a wide board as I wanted to ride it short. The more curved the rail outline of a surfboard, It is agile and maneuverable. On the other hand, the straighter the rail outline, the better. Make a drive that extends the turn. This is just an outline comparison, If the board has a rocker, it will be even more maneuverable. If it doesn't, it will drive even more, so please keep this in mind when comparing boards. Even so, even if a person weighing 80 kg rides a 32CL, it is still difficult to ride in such small waves. The ZEKE is amazing because you can ride it with flow!
