Alchemist

The Chemistry Surfboards Alchemist is a high-performance fish board that's been a staple of the brand's lineup since its inception. Designed as a versatile option, it is ideally suited for surfing various wave conditions, catering to both beginners and advanced surfers alike. With dimensions that are typically 2-3 inches shorter and 3/4 to 1 inch wider than conventional shortboards, the Alchemist boasts increased paddle power and stability, helping riders to catch waves with ease, particularly in smaller surf. Its distinctive nose shape enhances volume, allowing for efficient paddling and enhanced flotation in mushier wave sections.

One of the key features of the Alchemist is its tail design offering either a single or double wing swallow option. This configuration decreases tail width and facilitates a pivot point, giving surfers the ability to transition seamlessly between turns and accelerate from bottom to top on the wave face. Rated at 4/5 for drive and speed, and an impressive 5/5 for movability, this board excels in delivering exceptional performance. The Alchemist is designed to handle waves ranging from 1 to 7 feet, affirming its suitability for diverse surf conditions. With a starting price of $775, the Alchemist not only embodies cutting-edge performance attributes but also represents a sound investment for surfers looking to expand their capabilities in the water.
