{"product_id":"tabla-de-longboard-wayne-rich-the-checkmate-tuflite-pro","title":"CHECKMATE - TUFLITE PRO","description":"\u003cp\u003eGame over; this board wins! The Checkmate is a take-no-prisoners, no holds barred, capture-your-king kind of longboard, so get ready to surf at the top of your abilities.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned by Wayne Rich in the 80’s as a contest board for Dewey Weber’s contest at the pier and refined for Donald Takayama’s following contest in Oside - basically built for the visionary resurgence of longboard competition, the Checkmate is quick off the bottom, nimble rail to rail, and powerful off the tail, the Checkmate is every bit a performance longboard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast wrapping turning in the pocket and hard down-the-line bottom turns are standard maneuvers for this modern gal. At the same time, a soulful outline meets a timeless bottom contour that rolls into a classic 60\/40 longboard rail, resulting in a board that noserides, trims, and glides as lovely as any traditional log on the market. The Checkmates traditional features remind us to “Never forget.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile we can’t divulge all the Checkmate’s secrets, we can share that a hard edge is snuck into the board’s tail to deliver a controlled drive when cranking tight turns and a lite concave in the nose blends through the front third of the board allowing for lift and acceleration when hangin’ the piggies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe suggest the Checkmate for all surfers looking to expand their repertoire of maneuvers on a longboard. Designed for the beach breaks of Southern California and adapted for Santa Barbara points, the Checkmate works best in long, drawn-out walls head high and below but can be ridden up to a few feet overhead and at your local reef or beach break. If you are an old-at-heart-dog looking to learn a few new tricks, the Checkmate is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"shopify-block-heading_X3m8HM\" class=\"h4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuflite Pro Wayne Rich\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-w-sm\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003eTuflite Pro is engineered for balanced performance and durability using an Omega glassing layup, Gloss finish, HD PVC inserts, Carbon rails all in a molded technology.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WAYNE RICH SURFBOARDS","offers":[{"title":"9'4\" x 22.75\" x 3.07\" - 74.20L","offer_id":52842322100571,"sku":"WRTL-CM0904-261","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0854\/3512\/2011\/files\/Disenosintitulo-2026-04-20T191655.955.jpg?v=1776705575","url":"https:\/\/surftecheurope.com\/products\/tabla-de-longboard-wayne-rich-the-checkmate-tuflite-pro","provider":"Surftech EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
