Fantastic Acid x Velzy Malibu Chip & 711

The surfboards by Velzy crew is stoked to unveil a limited collaboration with Fantastic Acid Surfboards and Tristan Mausse. This collection pays homage to the Iconic Malibu Chip, a revolutionary design from the early '50's that redefined modern surfing. Inspired by the groundbreaking innovations of Matt Kivlin and Joe Quigg, the Malibu Chip marked the transition to lightweight balsa boards, paired with fiberglass and resin--a stark evolution from the hefty redwood planks and hot curls of the pre-war era.

We are also offering Tristan's take on the iconic Velzy 711 model, as ridden by Miki Dora and other Malibu natives.

With the support of the Surfing Heritage & Culture Center (SHACC), our team and Tristan had the privelage of drawing insights directly from SHACC co-founder Dick Metz and studying the original curves of Kivlin, Quigg, and Velzy.

Our Velzy team couldn't be prouder to present this limited collab. We're already looking forward to workign with Tristan again on his return to the States.
