Chippa Wilson Will Change What You Think is Possible on Soft Boards | SURFER Magazine

"I don't know how to talk about a surfboard, for real," laughs Chippa Wilson, in our latest episode of Quivers. "Normally if anyone asks me about a board I'm just like....yeah."
Fortunately for Wilson, his freakish ability on a surfboard means he's allowed to let his surfing do all of the talking. And it doesn't matter on what, either. From a shortboard, to a performance soft top, and even standing on a boogie board -- nobody else in the world rides a wave like Wilson.
When it comes to his go-to shortboards, Wilson is loyal to his local shaper. He's been riding a 5'6" from MH Surfboards for the last 16 years. But, as you'll see in the clip above, Wilson's quiver is far from standard, and also includes a 6'0" channel bottomed Simon Jones gun (a "Rhino Chaser" as Wilson calls it), as well as a couple variations of soft tops - some with fins, and some without. "Soft tops are the funnest thing in the world, and that's why you get them," says Wilson. "They don't hurt you, and you can hurt them."
And if you're Wilson, you can do airs on them, too.

Nice to see a pro sticking with their local shaper and not jumping to a bigger brand with bigger $
Nice one!

[@jonsalvador5051]

james williams so you think he is paying this local shaper retail price for his boards, sacrificing a potential discount from
a mayor brand .?

[@8last0id]

shapers dont pay surfers moneey anyways. its all about performance.

Man ...he's an awesome surfer...best I've seen in a while. His ballsy/radical approach reminds me of Dane Reynolds. Seems like contest surfing is done given all of these amazing free surfers.

[@pb8582]

Same shapers for 16 years. Tell me already a lot about how good this man is!

[@juufro8952]

“6’0 is my step up” and he’s surfing triple OH 😂😂😂 WTF

[@christopherjohnjones-parke5026]

To be fair he does look to be about 5'3 tall

[@twmpuketa]

My question is why isnt he owning the pro tour right now. Over the top talent

[@macflow14]

Tour sucks

[@vznquest]

last air was insane. chippa would destroy half the tour if he was on it

[@piezzangvanzyl3941]

Your quiver might look like a pile of trash but rides like a flying banana...doesn't get better then that😂😂
