Burnway

The Burnway combines all the best parts of Decade's much loved BlackFlag model, with a twist on the rocker and rails.

The Burnway has a lower rocker and a wider outline, fuller and flatter than the Blackflag. This gives it well blended curves to hide foam where you need it, without getting in the way of performing at a high level. A smooth single to double concave with a touch more depth creates lift in sub-par conditions, but allows you to remain in control when the waves turn on.

It's the go-to when you need a performance board for smaller waves or less than pro abilities. And for the places and seasons that don't get a lot of quality waves, it's a forgiving option that will help you surf your best regardless of average conditions. © Decade Surfboards

Bucket

The Bucket is a friendly, easy-to-ride surfboard, both for beginners who are taking the next step from a foamie to their first fiberglass board, as well as advanced surfers feeling out of shape or with little time to surf. Comparing to a traditional Evolution design, the Bucket features a few performance atributes that set it apart as an all-rounder: reduced tail area, lower rail, increased rocker, and a more oval (less parallel) outline contour. These ingredients combine to create a polished surfboard that catches the eye of the more experienced surfer. The Bucket really shines when you are taking your time and surfing leisurely. There's a lot of extra foam up front which helps with getting into the waves earlier, obviously, but also with generating speed down-the-line. You'll find a single to double concave on the bottom (speed, also helps with manoeuvrability), a moderate entry rocker (allows smooth rail-to-rail surfing), and tucked rails that are a touch harder off the tail (allowing you to turn a bit quicker/sharper). The Bucket suits horizontal surfing better than vertical surfing. Think carves, trimming and roundhouses; highline speed runs, sectional floaters, and even a couple of tubes that may be on offer. © WANTED Shapes

Double Fun

Invented by Californian surfer Steve Lis in the late 60s, the twin-fin Fish is one of the most celebrated surfboard designs of all time. A true Fish at its core, the Double Fun loves to draw long, fast lines. This board's dream conditions are 3-4 ft zippy runners. Its straight outline handles sloppy waves well (added width = enhanced stability) but whenever you've got a clean down-the-line wall ahead, that's where it truly shines. The Double Fun comes alive on fast forehand waves with sections to chase, allowing you to lay it on rail for a roundhouse after trimming down the line like Superman. The flatter rocker and increased surface area provide unmatched paddle power and buoyancy. The Double Fun is stable yet highly manoeuvrable. Set it up with retro keels and you're in for the fastest ride of your life. Go with modern keels instead and you'll get more responsiveness through arcs, plus added release at the end if you like to get freaky. © The Base Surf Store

Ego Booster

The Ego Booster is the result of ongoing collaboration between high-performance surfers and the shaper. The demanding feedback from the athletes drives the continuous pursuit of perfection. This board is built to surf the pocket passionately: vertical lines, critical hits on the lip, rapid recoveries, and keen responsiveness to the unexpected. If you're sick and tired of nose diving on a sucky section after a top turn or even on a late drop, the Ego Booster will be a welcome addition to your quiver. This board accelerates through turns in the bowliest sections and is meant to go best in good conditions: the better the waves the better the board feels. As part of a two board quiver - one board for shitty waves, and this board for good waves - you're on a winning combination. Designed to meet the demands of top-level surfing, the Ego Booster is ideal for front-foot riders and shines on high-quality, predictable pointbreaks while providing precise control and peak performance in every maneuver. 4-6ft well shaped waves or waves with push will really have you unleashing the potential this board has. © The Base Surf Store

Deuce

"If you are a Thruster guy and new to the Twin Fin game, then you will freak on the speed, drive, hold, and pivot The Deuce offers." - Noel Salas

The Deuce is a collaboration between Rusty and Noel Salas of Surf n' Show. The Deuce is a user-friendly, high-performance Twin Fin that engages the rail easily. Designed and tested to suit back-foot, neutral, and front-footed surfers. The Deuce features Rapid Entry single concave for increased speed with a wide point 1" back from the center of the board to promote pivot. The single concave transitions to a hooked vee between the fins for increased rail engagement. Vee and exit rocker increases behind the fins for tight turns and maneuverability. The single winged swallow tail offers additional pivot and bite through sharp turns. The ideal wave range is waist to overhead surf. It could easily be your Small Wave Performance Board, Daily Driver and, for most surfers, your High Performance Shortboard replacement in overhead surf. Recommended for low-level intermediate to pro-level surfers. Available in PU Stringer (stock), Epoly, EPS Stringer, stringerless EPS and Full Carbon constructions.

Rarest Bird

More fun.

Back in 2015 Chilli designed the Rare Bird. It started out in the category of small wave performance but quickly appealed to an audience of surfers who rode it in small onshore summer slop through to 6 foot barrelling waves in Indonesia. The feedback was always: "This is the most versatile surfboard ever, it just works!" From here the Rarest Bird emerged with more volume and foam. This versatile hybrid appeals to a wide range of surfers looking for a performance surfboard that does it all.
OUTLINE: The wide point is pushed further forward than most boards to create more curve under the chest and front foot for ease of paddling and speed in dead sections. The classic round tail traverses easily from beach to reef and point waves while producing a feeling of sturdiness under your back foot.
ROCKER: Medium entry and a fast exit provides, what we feel, is the perfect balance of speed and flow for surfers wanting a board that will react quickly and fulfil their expectations as they execute turns on a wave. I.e. This board does the work for you!
CONTOURS: The single to double concave is a very effective combination that compliments the outline and rocker and gives you a fast and responsive board in conditions that are not only sub-par but have more power and size.
PERFORMANCE: Designed to be ridden 1 inch shorter than your typical shorty, the Rarest Bird can be classified as a one-board-take-anywhere-quiver. It has all the attributes of a performance board; speed, responsiveness and control, but the main difference is the extra buoyancy and floatation that makes it more forgiving and usable for the everyday surfer. For the intermediates, this is a great board to take your surfing to the next step without loosing paddle power or speed. Advanced surfers can take it around the world and feel comfortable in any conditions on offer.
Fin Recommendations: Thruster FCS II Performer, Quad FCS II Accelerator Sides + Performer Quad Rears. These all-round fin options suit the rounded narrower tail and produce a neutral feel that won't discriminate against anyone. ® Chilli Surfboards

Happy Hour

By taking the shape and functionality of a longboard and compressing it into a much smaller model, we created the Happy Hour designed for pure versatility. This board features a refined balance of stability for beginners and enough performance to keep advanced surfers engaged. Get into waves early, anticipate, and choreograph your lines - that's what the Happy Hour is all about. It excels in 2-3 ft frisky waves that aren't too serious but decent enough to get going on without much fuss. Whether you're looking to have fun on a mellow day or improve the core fundamentals of your surfing, this board is a perfect choice. The Happy Hour is lightweight, easy to handle, stable, and built for fun. © The Base Surf Store

Bare Bones

The Mid Length concept has been gaining followers, and it's no coincidence. For the everyday surfer, it's undoubtedly the ideal tool to handle most surf sessions, even when conditions are far from perfect. The Mid combines the tolerance and versatility any surfer needs with performance features designed for more advanced riders. The Bare Bones offers excellent paddle power, easy entry, and stable take-offs, with a glide that reduces effort in flat sections. Its oval outline, soft rolled rails, and balanced rocker ensure smooth rail-to-rail transitions, while the flat-to-spiral-vee concave on the bottom provides both speed and maneuverability. The extra volume in the front helps you get into waves earlier, while the slightly tucked tail allows for quicker, sharper turns. Lightweight, stable, and easy to handle, the Bare Bones is perfect for beginners as well as surfers who want to maintain their flow. It's better suited to horizontal surfing than vertical: think carves, trimming, and roundhouses; high-line speed runs, sectional floaters, and even the occasional tube when the opportunity arises. A board that makes surfing more fun and allows for smooth, beautiful lines in any session. © The Base Surf Store

Ghost Writer

At first glance, the Ghost Writer already tells you what it's built for: tight, sucky pockets and critical sections where hesitation gets punished. With its refined curves, knifey rails, and high-to-medium rocker, this is a true high-performance weapon designed for surfers who like to push hard and surf on instinct. It loves steep, vertical lines, late drops, and committed hits in the lip, while maintaining the speed and control needed for fast recoveries and seamless transitions. Under the back foot, the Ghost Writer comes alive: reactive, sharp, and ready to pivot in an instant. This board is especially suited to medium-quality beachbreaks, where unpredictability demands a board that's quick, versatile, and reliable. It offers that extra bit of connection to the wave that gives you the confidence to attack whatever the ocean throws your way, allowing you to fit a turn into the smallest pocket of moving water. When the section goes square and the exit looks doubtful, this board doesn't flinch. It was built for surfers who see opportunity where others see closeouts. © The Base Surf Store

Faded 2.0

Need a good wave, one board quiver? Well, this is the board you're after. The second incarnation of the Faded is designed for hollow, heavier waves. This board paddles like a step-up and surfs like a shortboard. Designed with Jay Davies and Balaram Stack with both overseas travel and pumping waves at home in mind, this board has been put through its paces in places from Costa Rica to West Oz. While it's primarily designed for hollow tubes, don't worry, it'll glide like butter in good waves anywhere from 3 foot to 8-plus.

OUTLINE: The Faded 2.0 has a full nose (paddle power) and smooth middle to relatively straight bottom 1/3 of the board which gives the board drive out through the rounded pin-tail.

ROCKER: The board has a flat-medium entry, and a smooth medium tail rocker. This compliments the double concave and vee bottom contour. In essence, it's fast with a lot of control in tight situations.

CONTOURS: Bottom contour is single concave from 12 inches down to middle of the board, a slight double concave from the midpoint runs down into a vee out through the tail. This gives the board hold and drive when you're in hollow, fast waves where control is necessary.

PERFORMANCE: When designing a 'good wave' board you need to ensure the performance attributes complement each other. The Faded 2.0 was built to do exactly that. Explicitly, it is the boards outline, rocker, and bottom contours which make this board work so well.

The top 1/3 has a full-ish outline and is packed with volume. Combine this with a flat entry rocker and you'll find chipping into big waves a breeze. Whether the waves are fast and hollow, or big and chunky, this board has the ability to paddle into it (insanity not included).

Through the middle section the board "mellows out": a single concave, straight outline and low rail bite give this board both speed and bite to hold a line. The back-third of the board is where the control is generated. The double concave into a vee out the tail gives this board great rail-to-rail transition and also helps the board hold a line when you're racing across the face, drawing a controlled bottom turn or aiming to strike noon off the lip.

All in all this board is a paddle machine at the front and controlled fun-park at the rear.

SHORTIE

The Shortie is a new shortboard by James 'Chilli' Cheal. As described by Jack Robbo from the 2021 Stab In The Dark, "this board is easy to ride. You don't have to think, you just jump on it and surf." Chilli's new performance driver packs high-performance surfing into a forgiving shortboard that caters to intermediate and advanced surfers. The Shortie was refined throughout 2021 with Adriano de Souza (and Chilli team riders) during his final year on the WSL championship tour, and James saw it a fit for this year's Stab In The Dark with Jack Robinson.
James had "user friendly" mixed with "high performance" in his brief. He went to work combining a balanced rocker from nose to tail (creating a wide generous sweet spot), a moderate single concave (speed generating with drive), and a semi-rounded pin tail (control in the pocket at high speed). This created a forgiving performance shortie that is easy for surfers to jump on and immediately gel with (the most challenging part of Stab In The Dark, no second chances!).
The generous sweet spot is the product of a unique extra bit of foam designed into the stringer line, making it an excellent paddler. You may notice the thickness in the dimensions compared to the length and width seems a bit high, but this strategic design concept creates a board that allows you to surf without thinking too much. The thickness is balanced out by a medium performance rail, allowing full control when surfed in critical parts of the wave.
The Shortie fits into the Chilli range as a good wave driver for 3-6 feet. Choose your volume and this is the board for your next surf trip overseas, a great winter board, or your board for when it's pumping at home.

Rare Bird EVO

Chilli Rare Bird EVO - All Rounder | The Base

Stepping up a level in all-round surf performance. Introducing the Rare Bird Evolution.
Building on the success of the original Rare Bird, the Rare Bird Evolution takes everything you loved and refines it for an even better surfing experience. James Cheal 'Chilli' has fine-tuned the design to enhance speed, control, and versatility, making it the perfect upgrade for any conditions. Maintaining the single-to-double concave and slight vee through the tail for smooth rail-to-rail transitions, he's also adjusted the outline for increased maneuverability and flow in both small waves and bigger swells. With a slightly more refined rail and a modernized pulled-in thumb tail, the Evolution offers more precision without sacrificing the forgiving nature of its predecessor. The five-fin setup remains, ensuring maximum adaptability, whether you're carving in small surf or tackling overhead barrels.
For the best performance, ride the Rare Bird Evo the same length as your previous version, or 2-4 inches shorter than your standard shortboard. It's the perfect progression between your BV2 and SHORTIE models, delivering more drive, speed, and all-around fun.

OUTLINE: The outline has the same nose profile as the previous version aimed for paddle power and speed in flat/fat surf. The middle section is curvey (nice rail line to turn from) with the wide point slightly more forward than a regular board. Through the tail, we continue the curve into a nice thumb tail which gives the board hold and control through turns.

ROCKER: The board has a medium entry and a medium tail exit. It has a continuous rocker which allows the Rare Bird EVO to hold rail in bigger surf when necessary.

CONTOURS: The bottom contour consists of a single-double-vee bottom, continuing from the original. There has been subtle adjustments under foot to enhance speed in flat sections, yet still have enough hold in bigger surf. A well-balanced and forgiving bottom.

PERFORMANCE: Through the R&D of this model, and through numerous team feedback, the Rare Bird EVO was a fan favourite from the beginning. Being well-rounded and easy to surf in a variety of conditions was the main target for this board and with the 5-fin option, the board is able to be ridden in anything from a high-tide shorey session as a twin + trailer to rippable 3-4 ft points as a thruster, or even putting the quads in to hold tight and perform in hollow, barreling conditions. © Chilli Surfboards

Radar

The Radar from SharpEye Surfboards is your ultimate summer weapon in small wave conditions.

Designed for performance in 1-2ft surf, the Radar features a flat entry rocker, full nose outline, and a medium tail rocker. Full rails and a domed deck combined with a single to double concave, to vee through the tail provides smooth rail-to-rail transitions, delivering flow and control in weaker surf.

Recommended with a 5-fin setup, the Radar allows you to fine-tune your ride. Surf it as a 2+1 for added looseness in smaller waves, Thruster for control, or a Quad for maximum speed and drive.

Volume II TT EPS

Chilli Volume II TT EPS - All Rounder | The Base

The Volume II Twin Tech is Chilli's all-round shortboard in EPS/EPOXY construction. Twin Tech is light, strong and very fast channelling that 'new board' feeling every time you surf.
James has designed countless boards for WQS surfers over the years, where surfing at the highest level in below average wave conditions is the aim of the game! This is where the Volume II originated.
Over time, James ever so slightly modified the Spawn, the performance board preferred by the team at the time. He added an even layer of volume throughout, slightly increased the curve and flattened the rocker. The result: a trusted, fast, no frills all round shortboard that excels in 1-4 foot conditions.

CONTOUR: A single concave starting 12 cm down from the nose and runs down to just above the side fins. It then has a slight double concave (allowing for the perfect amount of release) through the side fins then back to a single exit through the tail.

ROCKER: A normal entry through to a flat exit allowing for maximum speed. The volume holds throughout the board with plenty under the chest for optimal paddle power if the conditions are weaker. A medium to slightly lower rail provides a forgiving ride, but with enough hold so you can trust it in more critical sections on the wave.

We recommend riding the Volume II anywhere from 1 to 2 inches below your more performance orientated shortboard.

Fin Recommendations:
FCS II - Accelerator or Performer family
FUTURES - AM family

TWIN TECH - Twin Tech offers a performance orientated flex pattern that's designed to simulate a traditional stringer surfboard but with an Epoxy/EPS 'new board feeling' every surf. Most of the strength comes from the Twin Carbon strategically running up the centre of the deck and bottom. This creates a strong flex pattern that accentuates speed and produces that 'pop and liveliness' but with an underlying feeling of predictability. Tried and tested with Chilli's team of all ages and sizes, this construction feels lightweight, balanced and perfect to ride. Twin Tech consists of a stringerless EPS blank and Chilli's own designed Twin Carbon fibre tape. Bottom: Single layer of 4oz fibreglass (featuring Chilli's signature line by Colan Australia), Twin Carbon tape plus individual fin plug patches. Deck: 1 x layer of 4oz fiberglass, 1 x layer of 4oz biaxial cloth, Twin Carbon tape plus a V-Tail patch. ® Chilli Surfboards

Ghost

The design that JJF rode to two consecutive World Titles!

The Ghost is possibly the first truly High Performance board that works great for all levels of surfer and could be considered a one-board quiver for any surf trip with decent to good waves on the menu.

A super versatile board, it has become one of JJF's favorites for all kinds of surf (Margaret River winner, Bells Ollie Oop, J-Bay carves, and even head-high Trestles) and a go-to for many surfers around the world.

Originally designed for performance in hollower, more powerful types of waves, the Ghost has proven to be great for reef breaks, dumpy beachies, and also excels in point waves.

Based off of our Short Cut, The Ghost outline is more refined: it still has the wide point pushed a bit forward of center, but the nose area is kept down and the tail slightly pulled in to help it fit into a tighter curve.

The thickness is also pushed forward, which helps even more with getting you into waves easily, and we kept the tail and rails thinned out to help hold through barrels and turns at speed.

The rocker is med/low through the front half to get you into waves easily and pick up speed quickly. The rear end has plenty of rocker curve for turning control and a snappy responsiveness. Single concave runs through the entire bottom, with a double concave set inside, which equals speed and lift both on a rail and over flat spots while allowing for quick rail-to-rail transitions.

The Ghost's combination of rocker and concave makes for high performance handling through a healthy mix of sensitivity and control.

Depending on what you want to ride it in we recommend you order your Ghosts anywhere from your height to 8" over, a 1/4" to 1/2" wider, and 1/8" to 3/8" thicker than your everyday shorty. Stock boards all have 5-fin set up.

Comes with a round tail, but we can custom make it with any tail you like.

Phantom

The Phantom is the middle child in the Ghost Family, a step-down version of John John Florence's current favorite model (the Ghost) and designed to be your go-to board for everyday conditions.

When we first brought out the Ghost we had no idea that its' unique design would come to be embraced by so many people in so many different types of waves. However, the feedback we kept hearing was that it was best in waves shoulder-high and up, so we looked at making a step-down board that would bring that same feel to the head-high and under days that make up most of our daily surf sessions.

The Phantom is a Ghost squashed down, souped up, and with added volume, great for your everyday sessions in less than epic conditions.

We left the same Ghost rocker but added more single concave to flatten it out through the center, helping to create speed and flow without taking away from the overall performance or feel of the original design.

The added width in the tail and nose create a more parallel, fuller outline that helps keep speed up through slower sections and tight turns.

The rails are full but not chunky, giving you more floatation and speed without taking away the sensitivity that we all love in our boards.

Best in waist-high to overhead waves of all types the Phantom is your daily driver with a high performance edge.

Ride it around your height, a touch wider and about the same thickness as your Ghost.

Red Tiger

Silky smooth, even in junk waves, and possibly our fastest board yet, The Red Tiger is John John Florence's new High Performance Shortboard unlike anything we have released in the past. It is the ultimate performance machine for medium sized, slower, weaker waves, based on John's simple guidance - "make it Fast and Fun".

The idea for this board was hatched when John began riding some different "fun" boards during some breaks from competing. By far his favorite in the last year has been our new flat rockered, Funformance board, the White Tiger (5'6"), and he asked me to turn that design into something he could take back on tour to ride when the surf was less than pumping, or on the weaker side.

The outline is a touch on the plump side for a HPSB, but the wide point sits a more traditional inch behind center, keeping the emphasis to surfing it off the mid to back half of the board. The wider tail-block squash helps to keep area in the tail which provides lift and drive, and also helps create "pop" when going to the air. A moderate hip by the front fins puts a break in the outline to help create a pivot point that allows for tighter radius turns and release in the lip.

The rocker and bottom contour is really what sets this board apart from other boards in this category. It's our flattest HPSB so far and that rocker translates to easy, consistent speed from the moment you stand up, through flat sections and even in super weak, small waves. But, flat rocker can feel sticky and tends to make you surf flat, so we run single to double concave (JJF's favorite bottom contour) through the front 2/3s of the board and then blend that into a significant double concave/deep vee combo through the fins and off the tail. This bottom keeps the flatter board easy to roll rail-to-rail and the vee of the tail works to allow easy vertical surfing and short-arc carves, even in tight, pockety waves.

The thickness flow (foil) from nose to tail is balanced and clean, with the front of the board just barely thinner than the back half. The deck is flat-ish, keeping more foam (volume) out towards the rails. The actual rails are full just in from the outline (under the ball of your hand if you are holding the board under your arm), but are tapered to keep sensitivity and bite.

Ride your Red Tiger around an inch shorter than "normal" HPSB, and a bit wider. Volume should be close, but go up a ½ to 1 liter for added zing in weaker waves. The board will easily turn your everyday sessions into something special and we believe it will outperform any other HPSB in underpar waves AND still come through when the surf turns on!

FAD3R

The FAD3R is a refined evolution of the original Fader, blending its predecessor's smooth glide and versatility with enhanced performance and paddle power. This updated model is designed for surfers seeking a balance between easy wave entry and responsive manoeuvrability, making it the model for a variety of conditions. When you're planning a trip, you can't always pack all your boards. The FAD3R serves as a one size fits all, capable of handling both mid-sized waves and the heavier waves typical of many overseas surf spots. Ideal for medium to bigger sized waves. The FAD3R maintains its ability to perform in the pocket, while exceeding in more powerful waves.

KEY FEATURES

Improved Paddle Power - A refined outline and volume distribution provides better float where you need it while paddling, making it easier to catch waves.

Enhanced Performance - Sharper rails provide a more dynamic rocker line allowing for quicker transition in the pocket and responsiveness in critical sections of the wave.

Versatility across conditions - Ideal for medium to bigger wave sized waves. The FAD3R maintains its ability to perform in the pocket, while exceeding in more powerful waves.

Practicality for Travel - When travelling, you can't always pack multiple boards. The FAD3R serves as a one size fits all, capable of handling both mid-sized waves and the heavier waves typical of many overseas surf spots.

This board was R&D'd by many of Chilli's riders, from Moana at Pipeline, Balaram at Teahupoo, to Kobi and Saxon competing on the Australian regional WQS. It was the board these surfers gravitated to when the waves got a bit too big for their regular shortboard.

The FAD3R is to be ridden slightly up from your shortboard in volume and length. If you normally ride a 29L shortboard, the stock 6'1 FAD3R at 30.5L will be the go. As we know, larger waves demand respect and the right equipment to handle their power and speed. Surfing a bigger-volumed surfboard helps you rise to the challenge with greater confidence, efficiency and control.

The FAD3R is the perfect companion for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a board that elevates their experience without compromising comfort or ease.

FINS: Comes as a 5-fin set-up.

Gremlin

If you love the feel of your Ghost and Phantom, but want a shorter, chunkier board for smaller surf the Gremlin is the board you are gonna want!

Based off the Ghost DNA, it's the Step-Down cousin to the Phantom, with lots of extra volume packed into a shorter, wider, flatter rockered package designed for quick acceleration, easily sustained speed and great paddle power. The Gremlin was made to get you excited about surfing on the days that are less-than-epic, and also to give you a taste of FunFormance that will get you fired up in any kind of surf.

The wider outline is complimented by a low entry rocker for easy speed and glide through the weakest, slowest sections, but we left curve through the tail rocker to keep it performance oriented and add to maneuverability.

The bottom runs from single to double concave, with a nice bit of Vee running off the tail.

This makes it a board that paddles easy, gets up and goes fast, and still has a snappy, drivey, high-performance feel to get you the most out of every wave you catch.

Higher level surfers will want to ride this board as much as 4-6 inches below their height (and find that it actually has a full on high-performance side to it). A more intermediate level surfer will want to stick to something around their height.

It's also a great transitional board for the more beginner surfer who is ready to take the step away from their longboard (or whatever they have been riding) to a more FUNformance design! Whatever length suits you, it is meant to be ridden wider and thicker than your shortboard.

Score every session!

I have been building different versions of the Score Lord for myself and my friends over the past 3 years, trying to pack volume into our boards without losing sensitivity and performance. Now, after watching them ride tons of waves on them and getting so much great feedback, plus constantly having people paddle up to me and ask what I am riding, we finally decided it's time to share it with everyone else.

Meant to be ridden in all types of waves, anywhere from 2 to 10 feet (yes it is THAT versatile!) and designed to give you maximum paddle power, stability and glide, the Score Lord allows you to surf up to your potential or improve rapidly!

The outline is clean, its wide-point forward (+2"), with a full nose that is just slightly wider than the tail. The back half is sleek, but not overly narrow and ends in a very round, rounded pin tail that keeps it smooth and loose.

The rocker is set up to help you paddle fast and easy, while still allowing for snappy turns and smooth cutbacks. Lower nose rocker blends back to significant, long, continuous tail rocker. This blend lets the board plane easily and carry speed on weaker, flatter waves, but still fit into the pocket in curvy sections and bowls. The drawn out tail rocker won't slow you down, but will let you roll it into a turn easily at any speed.

The bottom features gentle vee from nose to tail, but we added double concave through the back ⅔ of the board to keep it lively feeling and let it get up on top of the water easily too. This bottom also lets the wider boards tip quickly from rail-to-rail which makes it easy to pump and change direction without much resistance.

The thickness is pushed forward to keep lots of foam (Volume) under your chest area, keeping the sleek beaked nose free for fast paddle and easy wave catching, while the rails and tail area are thinned out to keep it sensitive and quick.

Sizing for the Score Lord is pretty loose and all pretty relative to your surfing and fitness levels: Better surfers will be able to ride it smaller, more around their own height or choose to cruise on a bit longer version for the fun of it. Intermediate surfers will want to ride it a bit longer than their height or even add an extra 6 or more inches above that to maximise their paddle power, stability and glide. If your paddling conditioning is a bit on the weak side, the Score Lord will help give you all the advantages possible while still allowing quicker progression and fun sessions!

Comes stock as a 5 fin so you can choose the fin set-up that suits your needs best. The Score Lord is all about more waves, more flow, and more fun: a perfectly tuned blend of paddle power and performance that keeps you scoring, session after session.

Full Strength

Introducing the Full Strength designed by James Cheal. The next generation in Chilli's mid-length category was inspired by James' journey to the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia with his son. With a quiver of the popular Mid Strength that are used mainly in the east coast of Australia conditions, he thought it would be good to create something different with a progressive performance outline, but still have the attributes of his much-loved Mid Strength.
James refined and designed a 6'6 and 6'10 Project Black Full Strength to R&D on his trip, both with subtle tweaks and variances to find a perfect performance mid-length. James found the 6'6 Full Strength to be a perfect all-rounder in 3ft-6ft conditions. James is 52 years old and 85kg. The 6'10 got ridden when James wanted to take it easy, catch more waves and found it fit in the pocket on good waves and still able to turn on a dime.
What is the difference between the Mid Strength and Full Strength?
1. The Full Strength's outline is pulled in at the nose by 1/8'' decreasing drag up front. The back end is also narrower creating a nice, rounded pin tail giving it more of a shortboard feel. This allows the board to perform better in the pocket, and at higher speeds on the face while maintaining that paddle power the Mid Strength possesses.
2. The Full Strength's rail is lower with a more rolled deck, allowing for more progressive surfing and greater bite on the waves face, again, at higher speeds for when the surf is good.
The rocker and bottom contours of this updated board are very similar to the Mid Strength (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). The Full Strength paddles really well, yet has a more refined outline, increasing the level of performance it has to offer.
If you love the Mid Strength, we highly recommend you indulge on the Full Strength for those bigger, more powerful waves or just better days. This duo will ultimately keep you covered across all types of conditions and sizes of waves. To size yourself up, compare with your current Mid Strength and ride the same length or drop down 2 inches to gain that extra level of performance in a board that still keeps your wave count high!

Middy TT EPS

After numerous custom orders, Chilli is now offering the Mid Strength in a smaller size range from 6'4 down to 5'10. Like the Mid Strength, the paddling power of the Middy is unmatched with plenty of volume under your chest. The more compact length of the Middy now allows an even more heighten level of performance. Stand on the tail and the Middy turns on a dime, shift your weight forward and you'll be flying down the line!

James (Chilli) designed this surfboard over the summer of 2018/19 whilst he had a niggling knee injury and couldn't surf to his full ability on his standard shortboard. "I just wanted something that paddled easy, catches waves and surfed without too much effort", so the Mid Strength was created. Essentially, the Middy is a shorter version of the Mid Strength, a performance all-rounder that should be a consideration for anyone who can competently stand and navigate along a wave.

OUTLINE: Outline has a fullish nose to help with paddling. This flows down to an accentuated curve between your feet and into the back third of the board where the business gets done. The soft round tail intentionally creates a very forgiving and smooth turning arc for a longer board.

ROCKER: Turning and holding a rail on a bigger board must feel effortless, so Chilli combined a lower entry with a medium exit rocker out the tail. The aim here was to create a fast paddler that would pick up waves with minimal effort and still feel reactive on the turns.

CONTOURS: Slight single concave for speed up the front blending to a deep single/double concave through the side fins to loosen it up under the rear foot. An effortless combination in this model that's sensibly related to a mid strength beer; all the fun with half the effort!

PERFORMANCE: Getting a little older, maybe not as fit, or your surf time has simply decreased? Sometimes you just need the board to do the work for you. The Middy is made to paddle and catch waves easy in the top end, and once up and riding; trim, pivot and turn super easy with a little bit of release when needed. The curvy outline and rocker combo helps the board not feel long and straight, so it actually surfs like a much shorter board. Ride it, and guaranteed you’ll be converted.

Fin Recommendations: Thruster FCS II Accelerator; Quad FCS II Accelerator Sides + Performer Quad Rears. These all-round templates with a little extra area work perfectly for the bigger crew on this board.

TWIN TECH - Twin Tech offers a performance orientated flex pattern that's designed to simulate a traditional stringer surfboard but with an Epoxy/EPS 'new board feeling' every surf. Most of the strength comes from the Twin Carbon strategically running up the centre of the deck and bottom. This creates a strong flex pattern that accentuates speed and produces that 'pop and liveliness' but with an underlying feeling of predictability. Tried and tested with Chilli's team of all ages and sizes, this construction feels lightweight, balanced and perfect to ride. Twin Tech consists of a stringerless EPS blank and Chilli's own designed Twin Carbon fibre tape. Bottom: Single layer of 4oz fibreglass (featuring Chilli's signature line by Colan Australia), Twin Carbon tape plus individual fin plug patches. Deck: 1 x layer of 4oz fiberglass, 1 x layer of 4oz biaxial cloth, Twin Carbon tape plus a V-Tail patch. ® Chilli Surfboards

Phantom

The Phantom is the middle child in the Ghost Family, a step-down version of John John Florence's current favorite model (the Ghost) and designed to be your go-to board for everyday conditions.

When we first brought out the Ghost we had no idea that its' unique design would come to be embraced by so many people in so many different types of waves. However, the feedback we kept hearing was that it was best in waves shoulder-high and up, so we looked at making a step-down board that would bring that same feel to the head-high and under days that make up most of our daily surf sessions.

The Phantom is a Ghost squashed down, souped up, and with added volume, great for your everyday sessions in less than epic conditions.

We left the same Ghost rocker but added more single concave to flatten it out through the center, helping to create speed and flow without taking away from the overall performance or feel of the original design.

The added width in the tail and nose create a more parallel, fuller outline that helps keep speed up through slower sections and tight turns.

The rails are full but not chunky, giving you more floatation and speed without taking away the sensitivity that we all love in our boards.

Best in waist-high to overhead waves of all types the Phantom is your daily driver with a high performance edge.

Ride it around your height, a touch wider and about the same thickness as your Ghost.

Gremlin

If you love the feel of your Ghost and Phantom, but want a shorter, chunkier board for smaller surf the Gremlin is the board you are gonna want!

Based off the Ghost DNA, it's the Step-Down cousin to the Phantom, with lots of extra volume packed into a shorter, wider, flatter rockered package designed for quick acceleration, easily sustained speed and great paddle power. The Gremlin was made to get you excited about surfing on the days that are less-than-epic, and also to give you a taste of FunFormance that will get you fired up in any kind of surf.

The wider outline is complimented by a low entry rocker for easy speed and glide through the weakest, slowest sections, but we left curve through the tail rocker to keep it performance oriented and add to maneuverability.

The bottom runs from single to double concave, with a nice bit of Vee running off the tail.

This makes it a board that paddles easy, gets up and goes fast, and still has a snappy, drivey, high-performance feel to get you the most out of every wave you catch.

Higher level surfers will want to ride this board as much as 4-6 inches below their height (and find that it actually has a full on high-performance side to it). A more intermediate level surfer will want to stick to something around their height.

It's also a great transitional board for the more beginner surfer who is ready to take the step away from their longboard (or whatever they have been riding) to a more FUNformance design! Whatever length suits you, it is meant to be ridden wider and thicker than your shortboard.
