Tribe Chief HV PE Bodyboard
If your Chief size is currently sold out, more arriving mid-end of November.
Don’t want to wait? The Tribe Hunter 2.0 HV Pro Quad delivers the 60mm high volume, and quad channels in a slightly more streamlined fit. Or check out the Hunter PE version.
We've expanded on our flagship high volume "big rider" model, the Chief, by adding this PE core version for those of you in cooler water or who want a bit more flex in your ride. The PE core brings the flex, and a single carbon fiber stringer and slick mesh control it. The package is completed with an HDPE slick and graduated channels, while keeping the 60mm thickness and extra width that have made the Chief the go-to for riders over 200 lbs (90 kg).
WHO IS THIS BOARD FOR?
Ideal Rider Profile
- Rider Size: The Chief is the go-to for riders over 200 lbs (90 kg).
- Conditions: A PE core for cooler water or riders who want more flex.
Best Suited For
- Bigger riders in cooler water.
- Riders who want more flex than a PP core Chief.
- Riders who want the Chief's extra width and volume.
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
Polyethylene (PE) Core: Brings the flex for cooler water.
Single Carbon Fiber Stringer and Slick Mesh: Control the PE core's flex.
HDPE Slick and Graduated Channels: A durable bottom with graduated channels.
Extra Width and High Volume: The Chief's signature float, up to 60mm thick.
Crescent Tail: A classic tail outline.
Hand Bulbs: Added grip and control.
HOW DOES IT COMPARE?
The Chief HV PE is the cooler water, more flexible version of the Chief. The Chief 2.0 Pro Quad is the stiff, warm water version with a 1.9pcf PP core, Surlyn slick, and CNC quad channels.
