Angry Bird
This is the perfect model for groms with fire in their bellies! It embodies all the features of a high performance shortboard. Tested in 0,5m-to-1m size waves. A deep rocker enhances maneuverability and compensates for the yet limited motion in younger ages. The bottom progresses from single to double with a sharp spine, allowing you to relieve pressure on the back foot when surfing rail-to-rail. The wide point is a little further forward too which makes it easier to paddle into waves and take-off, whilst the reduced tail area facilitates the approach to the most critical sections of the wave. A medium rail provides stability and release in balanced quantities when pressing the rail against the water. The Angry Bird can fit a round, round squash or squash tail respectively on a scale from a more powerful wave to a softer wave. ® WANTED Shapes
The Base
This board is drawn from the belief that small gutless waves can be surfed as excellent waves. We've pulled the volume forward in order to support the weight of the chest producing plenty of paddle power. A very straight outline provides extra speed and easy rail-to-rail transitions. A round tail combined with med-boxy rails favors release on powerless walls and a smooth feeling out of the maneuvers, preventing the board from jamming. A single to double concave bottom combined with a very low tail rocker will generate speed where you thought it didn't exist. This model takes on carbon vector net on the nose for extra protection and a graphic effect inspired by the theory of the Dynamics of the Forms, impelling your mind for a more fluid and multidirectional surfing. An all-people surfboard built to maximize fun in small waves! ® The Base Surf Store

Spawn Mini
Chilli Surfboards - Spawn Mini
This board is designed off the pro model we made with team rider Mitch Coleborn called the Spawn. It's a high performance shortboard but simply made in smaller dimensions for smaller people.
What's the difference compared to the Grom Plus? Well, it features more rocker through the whole board, a tighter outline, lower rail, pulled in squash tail and a single concave. All of these features are for performance. We worked on this with young team rider Kobi Clements and we noticed a huge improvement in the progression of his surfing. Kobi tested this board in places from Sydney's northern beaches to France and Hawaii.
If your ready for that next step in your surfing, the Spawn Mini is the next new board for you.
All boards come with a free spray on the tail and in a custom order it's your choice of colour. We also do multi coloured fin boxes with Futures and FCS 2 systems.
First Love
Single concave with a slight double in between the fins. Best fit for a step up or better wave board. It has a nice flowing rocker that allows the board to turn nice and tight in the pocket while still holds well in the barrel and steep sections of the wave. Performs best in 2 to 6 feet. ® Town & Country Surf Designs
StormChasers
LIMITED EDITION. An exclusive range of boards shaped by Glenn Pang on his first trip to Portugal. Being Hawaiian and having specialized in big wave surfboards, Pang developed a gun model that suits the Portuguese power waves nicely. Recommended for advanced surfers who crave for steppy drops and spitting barrels.

Blackbird
The SR-71 is the fastest manned jet ever built. Blackbird is its nickname. Based on that concept Rusty designed this board to cover ground quickly! Developed for the bigger days chasing down peaks in open waters and battling currents, it is the perfect wave-hawking weapon. It features added volume, an area-forward outline, lower entry rocker and a light vee in the nose, allowing it to paddle into anything, even in the toughest of surf conditions. With a slight single-to-double-concave bottom running through the fins and rounded pintail, the Blackbird delivers smooth transitions and fast, clean lines. A heavy hitter for any arsenal! ® Rusty Surfboards
Double Hook
This model is your modern day all-round, high performance shortboard. The slightly wider nose and tail area make this model super quick down the line which makes it great for busting airs, and the performance rocker is great for turning tight in the pocket. This is the reworked pro-series board that is suitable for the average to advanced surfer. Designed and tested with the team with the everyday surfer in mind, Jason has developed what is quickly becoming the must-have board from his range. Suitable for 2-5 foots, beach breaks to reeling point breaks, this is the everyday board. Ridden 2 inches shorter than your standard pro-series dimensions. ® JR Surfboards
Donny
As a 2014 WCT rookie, Dion's impressive performance at stops such as Snapper, France and his quarter final finish in Tahiti were a result of raw talent and hard work, combined with confidence in his equipment. Jason and Dion spent a good chunk of 2014 refining the Donny for what is JR's most anticipated model release to date. The Donny's nose-to-tail single concave and tail shape combo makes it fast, responsive and made to suit point breaks, hollow beachies and reef passes from 1-6 foot. With a super-fast and lively rocker for silky smooth rail-to-rail transition which Dion is known for, The Donny is a beautifully balanced super high performance short board, with rocker, rails, concave and outline working simultaneously to create a responsive and drivey board with plenty of hold. ® JR Surfboards
Fader
Fader
Shaped and Designed by James Cheal
Welcome your new model to fit the much needed 5 fin round tail board in the quiver. Fresh with a thumb tail (not too wide for bigger stuff and not too pinny for the smaller stuff, a perfect balance), very fast outline with no break, all drive and speed for this one.
With a new rocker changing the sweet spot allowing you to get up in the trickiest take offs and be smack bang on target for the whole wave. This board works really well in the pocket. We kept a single concave in the mid section, allowing it to hold through turns when your out on the face. Just behind the back fin it goes to a flat bottom for release and an easy transition from rail to rail.
Complete with a 5 fin set up, makes it well rounded in all conditions. With the new FCS II system we have found the Performer template to well in the pocket and Carver template for down the line drive. In Futures we found the JJF template to work best in the pocket and the AM2 template for drive.
Accompanying the Fader will be The Fader Step Up in a pin tail.
Peri Peri
Chilli Surfboards - Peri Peri

It’s the board you will ride 80% of the time over summer. Designed for 2-5 feet surf and it’s smooth outline with no bumps or hips allows hold in a little heavier surf, contrasted with a unique single concave to 'vee' bottom in the tail area makes speed/drive with looseness. This is a high performance small/medium wave board. A must have.

Oh One
Oh One
Chilli Surfboards latest creation is the Oh One. Combining 3 key elements from a few of our most favourite models we have the ultimate all round, all condition shortboard
We've added the volume in the centre (stringer) of the board for a much similar feel to the Rare Bird for paddle power and foam under the front foot to keep you moving through the flat sections but kept the rail low so it doesn't feel like a big board.
We have taken the bottom contours (very similar rocker and concaves) from the Spawn and Fader to create a high performance ride in critical steeper sections.
Throw a thumb tail similar to the Fader (touch wider) accompanied with a 5 fin set up. When ridden thruster it's sharp and accurate and super fast and flow when ridden with a quad set up.
Drop 1-2 inches from your Spawn (or rise 1 from your Peri Peri) or select your preferred litres. This board excels in 2-6 foot surf.

Grinder
It looks and surfs as well as you'd expect in all sorts of conditions from 2-6 foot. You'll ride this 1-2 inches shorter than your standard Pro Series, with a slightly wider plane shape and flatter rocker through the nose and tail. A little more refined than its buddy the Double Hook, the Grinder is built for high-performance shredding, but is forgiving enough for most experienced surfers to love under their feet. ® JR Surfboards
Voodoo
The Voodoo has been one of JR's most exciting and successful models yet. Designed with high performance in mind, the Voodoo comes standard as a tri-quad set up for versatility. The Voodoo has a flat entry rocker to a very flat tail rocker. Its plan shape being wide through the nose with a wide rounded diamond tail or 'coffin tail', unique to the Voodoo model. The plan shape gives this board plenty of paddle speed and ability to catch waves with ease. The wide coffin tail gives a smooth feel through turns and performs unbelievably in small to medium waves. The bottom shape consists of single concave running from the nose through to deep single double and a slight V off the tail. This combination gives the Voodoo ridiculous amounts of down the line speed and the smoothest transition through turns. This is the modern day performance fish and a must have board. Suitable for 1-4 feet waves and ridden 6 inches shorter than your pro series dimensions. ® JR Surfboards

Honey
Created by Californian surfer Steve Lis in 1967, the Fish is probably the most praised board design ever. Those who have the chance to ride it are overwhelmed by a unique surfing experience. The Fish offers us, in pretty generous amounts, all the best sensations a surfboard can provide: it catches waves like no other, creates a line on the wave with supreme fluidity, it’s very fast, super maneuverable and simultaneously very stable. In a word: insane! Your quiver will never be complete until you get yourself a Fish.

Sloth
The Sloth is the ultimate Summer groveller! Featuring a slight single concave under the front foot into a heavy V out of the tail, a flatter deck roll with soft, boxy rails and a full, retro outline. The Sloth is a refined, modern version of the classic old-school twin-fin. Built for ripping in crummy, Summer waves, The Sloth paddles easily, has lots of flow in flat sections but is incredibly responsive off the tail. The Sloth can be ridden as a straight twin or also as a twin with a trailer option. The Sloth is compatible with standard tri-fin set-ups for anyone not feeling the twin-fin vibes. ® JR Surfboards
Nevada High Performance
The High Performance Version
This set of dimensions are more ‘High Performance’ dimensions. We suggest riding the dimensions of your favourite shortboard from the past (or up 1 inch from the ‘Standard’ NEVADA) and this board should amplify your surf when the waves are 3 - 6 feet, hollow or just have a good pocket with a bit of power. Designed to perform. Also this board comes standard with Innegra fibre cloth on the bottom of each board to add strength and flex performance.
Bucket
This model combines many core features of the Minimal and Evolution traditional designs. It is the answer for those who no longer want to ride a softboard and are eager to feel the true glide on the surface of a wave. The Bucket embodies all the ingredients you need to start facing the line-up: paddle power, easy take off, stability and maneuverability in the ideal amount for this evolution phase. You should ride this model your own size or 1 foot longer, depending on your physical shape and how often you surf.
Desert Island
The Desert Island is the one board that does it all for larger, experienced surfers. The Desert Island provides plenty of paddle power and can handle almost every type of condition. The Desert Island is pure fun and perfect for catching a ton of waves. Shorter Desert Island’s come with triple concave; the longer ones (9’ plus) have a flat vee panel. A larger Desert Island has a relaxed gun rocker with full, low rails. The Desert Island is paradise, get yourself one and enjoy! ® Rusty Surfboards
Barking Spider
The Barking Spider is a hybrid shortboard combining the outline and high volume of the Hustler with the performance rail and rocker of the Yes Thanks, making it Clint's go-to in waist to overhead surf. The pronounced double concave under the rider's feet creates smooth and effortless rail-to-rail transitions. Adding a subtle hip in the outline and a sharp, shallow swallowtail allows you to snap off a turn anywhere you want on a wave. Together this combination makes it an ideal board in waist to overhead surf! ® Rusty Surfboards

Wraptor
A true all rounder built for summer
A modern classic, built for small waves, the Wraptor is your perfect summer pal. It's been created as a board that not only grovels but will also surf progressively in a steep pocket. It has a super flat rocker through the back end for speed, however the late V off the tail lets the board pivot without losing any drive. Roddy lifted the rail line rocker up front enough to make it forgiving when you want it on rail. The nose area has been pulled in more than originally planned, and by narrowing the nose area it gains rail-to-rail ability without catching an edge. Underneath is a single, double concave to V off the tail. The swallow tail offers quick response while maintaining width for release in steep sections and stability in flatter sections. Pushing the fins to be more vertical than usual has given the board more drive. When riding a board with such a short rail line, this fin set up gives the board the feel of a more high performance shortboard with all the benefits and attributes of a proper grovel board... A true all rounder built for summer. The Wraptor should be ridden 4 to 5 inches shorter than your standard shortboard. ® JR Surfboards
Grinder Max
This is Wade Carmichael's spin on the Grinder, designed for the larger guy or power surfer. Roddy has taken everything from the Grinder and given the Max a wider outline and tail, as well as slightly reducing tail rocker through from centre to tail. This modification of the Grinder will suit most surfers looking for a forgiving, higher volume, high performance shortboard. ® JR Surfboards
Cousin It
Closely related to the Boxsta and fused with the Voodoo's coffin tail and bottom contours, this model has a flatter tail rocker than the Boxsta which drives through flatter sections and keeps speed on the open face. The pulled in tail allows for ease of turns, while the extra volume allows for paddle speed. To be ridden 3-4 inches shorter than your standard pro series dimensions and performs best in 2-4 foot waves. ® JR Surfboards

Zippo
The Zippo has been developed specifically for construction in JR Tri-Flex Technology, although it is also available in PU. The Zippo was developed for Taj Burrow and the Surfing Life Tech Board Test. It is built for high-performance surfing: pure and simple. Based off Taj Burrow’'s ideal, day-to-day shortboard specs, The Zippo is performance-oriented but forgiving enough for all surfers to excel with it under their feet. The Zippo features a combination of the best, most effective characteristics from two of JR favourite high-performance shortboards (The Donny and The Grinder). The nose-entry is lowered, with a slightly pulled in tail that features an increased rocker. This results in a lively, responsive board that favours critical, rail-to-rail surfing and will allow this kind of surfing in average to excellent conditions. This increased rocker is perfectly balanced, providing extra drive and pop. A solid, single concave all the way through adds to the drive provided by The Zippo and is paired with slightly softer, boxy rails to provide the perfect blend of forgiveness and balance. The Zippo is built for critical surfing in all types of conditions, and developed with the needs of one of the world’'s best surfers in mind - a lively, drivey, smooth performance shortboard with pop! Built for Taj... built for you! ® JR Surfboards

Donkey
The Donkey takes it’s place in Dion's board rack as the perfect small wave, high-performance machine. While The Donny Model is built for hi-fi ripping in hi-fi waves, The Donkey presents itself as your go-to, high-performance board in average, day-to-day conditions. With a single concave, boxy rails and an average-to-full rocker, The Donkey is fast, precise and built for critical surfing. These characteristics, however, are combined in a plan shape that is slightly more forgiving; compressed in length, with width added in just the right places, to ensure that your high-performance goals are not encumbered by average waves. The Donkey is the board that will perform when the conditions don’'t allow your Donny Model the speed or power to perform; The Donkey, instead, will generate this speed and power for you! A great high-performance option for the bigger surfer looking to fit more volume into a shorter rail board. As a bonus, it's a proven, small-wave, competition machine, evidenced by Donny’'s victory in the 2016 Australian Open of Surfing on this model. It provides all of the high-performance characteristics of your Donny model in sub-par conditions. Order your Donkey in Tri-Flex Technology and really feel the fire! ® JR Surfboards
Donkey
The Donkey takes it’s place in Dion's board rack as the perfect small wave, high-performance machine. While The Donny Model is built for hi-fi ripping in hi-fi waves, The Donkey presents itself as your go-to, high-performance board in average, day-to-day conditions. With a single concave, boxy rails and an average-to-full rocker, The Donkey is fast, precise and built for critical surfing.

Zippo
The Zippo has been developed specifically for construction in JR Tri-Flex Technology, although it is also available in PU. The Zippo was developed for Taj Burrow and the Surfing Life Tech Board Test. It is built for high-performance surfing: pure and simple. Based off Taj Burrow’'s ideal, day-to-day shortboard specs, The Zippo is performance-oriented but forgiving enough for all surfers to excel with it under their feet. The Zippo features a combination of the best, most effective characteristics from two of JR favourite high-performance shortboards (The Donny and The Grinder). The nose-entry is lowered, with a slightly pulled in tail that features an increased rocker. This results in a lively, responsive board that favours critical, rail-to-rail surfing and will allow this kind of surfing in average to excellent conditions. This increased rocker is perfectly balanced, providing extra drive and pop. A solid, single concave all the way through adds to the drive provided by The Zippo and is paired with slightly softer, boxy rails to provide the perfect blend of forgiveness and balance. The Zippo is built for critical surfing in all types of conditions, and developed with the needs of one of the world’'s best surfers in mind - a lively, drivey, smooth performance shortboard with pop! Built for Taj... built for you! ® JR Surfboards

Punt Rocka 2
Before the release of the original Punt Rocka, Roddy worked intensively with surfers like Josh Kerr and Shaun Cansdell to refine every element. Designed to be a true all-rounder to take on tour or surf trips and work perfectly in most conditions. This time around though, Roddy has been working heavily with Dion Atkinson on the Punt Rocka 2 - a board he now uses almost exclusively when travelling West and South Oz. Donny finds the Punt Rocka 2 so versatile it can surf anything from 2 ft beachies to 8ft slabs. The small adjustments made since the original Punt Rocka have been made to suit Donny a little better, taking into account his rail game by slightly tweaking the rail line rocker for smoother rail-to-rail transition. The single to double concave is also slightly deeper offering more speed and drive through turns or just to help with that quick swoop off the bottom to get you into the pit quicker. The shorter rail length helps the nose from catching when falling into the trough on slabby waves while the round tail offers that hold you need in critical situations or on point breaks. Not only does the Punt Rocka 2 perform in heavier waves, its performance in small waves is equally proven with its width producing the paddle speed you need to scratch into small ones and the deeper concave setup to hold speed through flatter sections. A high performance all-rounder, get one under your feet! ® JR Surfboards

Fader
Fader
Shaped and Designed by James Cheal
Welcome your new model to fit the much needed 5 fin round tail board in the quiver. Fresh with a thumb tail (not too wide for bigger stuff and not too pinny for the smaller stuff, a perfect balance), very fast outline with no break, all drive and speed for this one.
With a new rocker changing the sweet spot allowing you to get up in the trickiest take offs and be smack bang on target for the whole wave. This board works really well in the pocket. We kept a single concave in the mid section, allowing it to hold through turns when your out on the face. Just behind the back fin it goes to a flat bottom for release and an easy transition from rail to rail.
Complete with a 5 fin set up, makes it well rounded in all conditions. With the new FCS II system we have found the Performer template to well in the pocket and Carver template for down the line drive. In Futures we found the JJF template to work best in the pocket and the AM2 template for drive.
Accompanying the Fader will be The Fader Step Up in a pin tail.
Wraptor
A true all rounder built for summer
A modern classic, built for small waves, the Wraptor is your perfect summer pal. It's been created as a board that not only grovels but will also surf progressively in a steep pocket. It has a super flat rocker through the back end for speed, however the late V off the tail lets the board pivot without losing any drive. Roddy lifted the rail line rocker up front enough to make it forgiving when you want it on rail. The nose area has been pulled in more than originally planned, and by narrowing the nose area it gains rail-to-rail ability without catching an edge. Underneath is a single, double concave to V off the tail. The swallow tail offers quick response while maintaining width for release in steep sections and stability in flatter sections. Pushing the fins to be more vertical than usual has given the board more drive. When riding a board with such a short rail line, this fin set up gives the board the feel of a more high performance shortboard with all the benefits and attributes of a proper grovel board... A true all rounder built for summer. The Wraptor should be ridden 4 to 5 inches shorter than your standard shortboard. ® JR Surfboards

Double Hook
This model is your modern day all-round, high performance shortboard. The slightly wider nose and tail area make this model super quick down the line which makes it great for busting airs, and the performance rocker is great for turning tight in the pocket. This is the reworked pro-series board that is suitable for the average to advanced surfer. Designed and tested with the team with the everyday surfer in mind, Jason has developed what is quickly becoming the must-have board from his range. Suitable for 2-5 foots, beach breaks to reeling point breaks, this is the everyday board. Ridden 2 inches shorter than your standard pro-series dimensions. ® JR Surfboards

Piña Colada
Pina Colada
The piña colada // is a sweet cocktail made with rum, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice, served blended or shaken with ice. It may be garnished with a pineapple wedge and a novelty umbrella.
Just as tasty as the drink itself this new board is designed to put the fun back into summer slush, point breaks and if you dress it with the right fins almost all conditions. It’s got area through the whole body of the board making the deck flat but nice and low in the rail line. The wide nose is for paddling and pushing through flat sections. The tail end is heavily inspired from the classic twin fin era. Single flyers level with the side fins creating the break in the outline and allows curve into the narrower swallow tail so it can perform in the pocket. The ultimate blend!
We recommend riding it 3-4 litres more then your desired volume or dropping 3-5 inches from your desired shortboard.
Sardine
This board is angled more at performance than its brother, the Wharfie, with less outline area and a more refined rail. You'll get the performance but still have the flow and speed of the Wharfie. Its super flat rocker with single concave to vee with double is super quick off the mark and smooth as silk through turns. The Sardine goes best in 1-3ft waves, it should be ridden 7-8 inches shorter than your regular Pro Series and with between 1 and 11/2 litres more volume. ® JR Surfboards

Nevada High Performance
The High Performance Version
This set of dimensions are more ‘High Performance’ dimensions. We suggest riding the dimensions of your favourite shortboard from the past (or up 1 inch from the ‘Standard’ NEVADA) and this board should amplify your surf when the waves are 3 - 6 feet, hollow or just have a good pocket with a bit of power. Designed to perform. Also this board comes standard with Innegra fibre cloth on the bottom of each board to add strength and flex performance.

A2
The A2
A board that has been slightly modified over the past year through our Project Black program. Tried, tested and loved by our team, we were excited to release it and knew you were going to love it too.
The original cad file was named 'ai8curve.cet' and has a creation date of 12/02/2003 - it sat in the archives of James’ Macbook. This model back then (named A2 Curve) was developed with the help of Andy Irons who rode and loved the board throughout 03’ & 04’. Since then, machines and software quickly became outdated. With new technology James has resurrected some old faithful files, this being one of them. We tweaked it with a modern day outline, concave and with a few minor adjustments by our team, the board came to life.
It sits in our Premium Performance category for a reason, the A2 likes to be pushed hard, it drives through critical sections with precision and is as smooth on rail through turns as you’d expect from a board ridden by AI. With a reasonably gentle rocker, single concave and tight squash with tail lift you can really give it some.
The A2, a shortboard you need in your quiver.
Spawn
Spawn - High Performance Shortboard
The Spawn features a continuous rail line rocker, pulled in squash tail, single concave and a medium to low rail that allows the board to hold in when put on rail. Mitch weighs 75 kilos and rides his 5'10" in 80 percent of conditions. We suggest riding it an inch shorter than your normal shortboard and a more upright right will give you release as it has a lot of drive you.

Faded
A new model we have created from the Fader. Designed to be ridden 1 inch shorted then your Fader. This is a board you can trust, if you had an around the world trip booked and only room for 1 surfboard, this your board.
Let’s break down the key strength elements - a strong board plays a huge part in having trust in your board when the waves are good. This board is glassed with 6 oz x 4 oz deck / 4 oz + Innegra + twin carbon strip bottom. The Twin carbon is designed to reinforce the body of the board down the centre and the Innegra is woven into the bottom roll of 4 oz fibreglass and assists with flex so your board still performs at a high level. It’s designed to be strong and perform. We did R&D through Project Black over the past 12 months this board with riders Jay Davies and Luke Egan both big builds and heavy footed surfers.
The design - we’ve taken the Fader (a popular Chilli model for good to excellent wave types) and added more foam in the centre of the board, allowing more paddle power. The rocker is a very smooth entry in the nose with a flow all the way out through the tail, it’s rides silky smooth out on the face and tight in the pocket. A med/low rail to bite into the water but not too low, it’s very forgiving. Bottom con- tour is a shallow single concave right through the board, enough for speed but shallow enough to keep flow in all conditions. Having the continuous outline into a neat round tail it’s a pleasure to ride.
Sugar
Need to sweeten your quiver? The Sugar twin fin is Chilli's latest candy, combining a retro look with a modern twist. The Sugar's straight outline loves to draw long, fast lines and is not shy off the lip. Let's break it down: The beak nose allows foam through the top end of the board for paddle power and a really nice foiled out tail in the bottom end for performance; Low rail to bite the wave's surface; A 3.5 inch deep swallow/fish tail, with width for speed in flat sections; The fin position is a traditional twin fin set-up designed for large style twin fins or twin keels. ® Chilli Surfboards
Grinder Max
This is Wade Carmichael's spin on the Grinder, designed for the larger guy or power surfer. Roddy has taken everything from the Grinder and given the Max a wider outline and tail, as well as slightly reducing tail rocker through from centre to tail. This modification of the Grinder will suit most surfers looking for a forgiving, higher volume, high performance shortboard. ® JR Surfboards
Enough Said
Developed together with Josh Kerr. A thumb tail performance shortboard that features a fairly relaxed proven nose rocker and a heavy single concave in the back half of the board. The tail rocker is slightly lower to accommodate the heavy concave. There is slightly less volume under the chest to minimize the swing weight. This board is designed to react quickly in the pocket when you need it most. ® Rusty Surfboards
Model 8
For the Model 8 Rusty added more rocker coming from the Sista Brotha which translates into quicker and shorter arc turns. The deck is flatter, creating more natural flex, paddling power yet making the board more sensitive. A bit fuller nose helps transitioning through flatter spots and dead sections but not compromising the lip attack. The board is fast, loose and surfs a great variety of conditions from punchy beach breaks to long points. ® Rusty Surfboards

Big Block
If you're a fan of speed... The Big Block can find speed on the most humble, meek and meager little waves. The Big Block is a high volume surfboard with massive surface area that can generate speed easily and effortlessly through any section. Preferred in stringerless EPS/Epoxy, the Big Block model includes grab rails for strength and a carbon strip along the center of the bottom. Big Block versatility is increased by utilizing a tri-fin box system that works well with either a traditional thruster fin setup or the T1 twin-fin with trailer. "Super-fluid", "Blindingly quick", "surprisingly responsive" are the most common comments from the Rusty crew that have ridden this clean little summer creation. Don't let another summer wave or meager day pass you by... get on board the Big Block. ® Rusty Surfboards

Nevada
A Friendly Shortboard
NEVADA by James Cheal
As seen on Stab In The Dark with Dane Reynolds
Danes dimensions - 6'0 x 19 1/16 x 2 7/16 Nevada
Our latest creation for high performance shortboard with two size breaks. We wanted to create something from the Spawn (our current high performance shortboard) that is an easy transition from your small wave boards, catches waves easy, carries through dead sections and does all that with performance and ease.
This model has volume distributed throughout the whole board nose to tail (where as the Spawn has the majority in the centre). A new simple neat feeling rail allows carving to be easy and forgiving. Round square tail giving you a little bit of area (as apposed to the narrower squash tail) and the rocker starts off a little flatter in the top third (speed) gradually builds through the middle and continues steadily out the tail giving you performance in the steep sections. Concave was a major player in testing this board. It starts under the chest medium depth and through out the tail it shallows out giving you a release when needed through turns.
Sweet Tooth
Everyone has a Sweet Tooth that needs to be satisfied. The Sweet Tooth is the model you'll come back to again and again to conquer your craving. This is a slightly wider high performance everyday shortboard. The deep single concave bottom, low entry rocker and aggressive tail rocker allow driving turns and tighter arcs. ® Rusty Surfboards
Churro
Churro
WE NEEDED A BOARD TO FIT IN OUR RANGE THAT CATERS SMALL WAVES, IS FORGIVING, HAS A BIG GENEROUS SWEET SPOT AND PERFORMS.
We had the perfect board right under our nose for over the past year. It’s designed mainly from Mitch Coleborn’s WQS small wave contest board (as we all know the quality of waves on the World Qualifying Series are poor). It’s like a squashed down Spawn (the outline that is) and combined with a much flatter faster rocker.
Let’s break it down - The Churro has a semi wide outline with a rounded square tail (we offer a swallow too) but not too wide that it can’t be surfed with performance, just enough to be paddle friendly in the small stuff and carry momentum through the fat sections. The rocker is gentle through the nose all the way to the tail, enough curve in the board to fit the curl of a small wave and still generate speed when doing so. Single concave under the front foot all the way back through to behind the rear fin… it’s FAST. All paired with a neat 5 fin set up.
If you've ridden the Rare Bird, the dimensions on the Churro are almost identical so go off that or drop 3 inches from your short board
Black Vulture
Black Vulture
The Black Vulture is a versatile model that team rider Lee Wilson put to the test. Lee fell in love with his 5’5 Black Vulture and claims its one of the fastest boards he has ever ridden. Let’s break it down:
The Black Vulture has a fuller nose, added foam under the chest and a wider outline. The wide point is a little further forward too, giving it great foam under the chest and front foot when your surfing, also making it a wave catching machine (much similar foam distribution to the Rare Bird). We then gave it a bump swallow tail to pull the tail in and give it drive. Combined with a single concave to vee out through the tail. Resulting in a wave catching machine that turns on a dime.
We recommend riding it the same or slightly shorter than the Rare Bird, or your desired volume.
Our team has surfed it as a twin w/ center stabiliser and with a traditional thruster set up and found gold in both.

Cherry Peppa
Chilli Surfboards - Cherry Peppa
Keeping the Peppa series alive we have the Cherry Peppa. It features a similar bottom to the Red Peppa, slight single down to a very strong double concave and vee out through the tail. The vee bottom really compliments this board as it has a very flat rocker (which allows it to be uber fast) making the transition from rail to rail nice and simple. Think, the days you rock up and it's 1 foot summer slop, you won't be driving home without salty hair a a smile on your face if you have this board in the quiver. It's the ultimate summer pal. Equiped with a 5 fin option for your choice of a quad set-up (which we highly recommend on a point break), or a thruster set-up for that shorey bash we all love to go for. Drop 5-6 inches from your shortboard (or 2-3 inches from your Rare Bird), this board has area for paddle power and stability for all levels of surfing.
Smoothie
The Piranha was one of Rusty's most popular designs. It was primarily built for small surf, but it ended up being a very versatile board. Rusty has re-tooled this design with a clean, full, round pin, and are calling it the Smoothie. It has a timeless outline designed to accommodate a wide range of conditions. The bottom starts with a slight roll in the nose transitioning to a light single through the center. This shallow single blends into a sunken double concave in front of the fins and an elevated double concave between the fins that finally ends in a double barrel V of the tail. If you can't appreciate the tech talk, just know that the board surf fast & smooth. ® Rusty Surfboards
Smoothie
The Piranha was one of Rusty's most popular designs. It was primarily built for small surf, but it ended up being a very versatile board. Rusty has re-tooled this design with a clean, full, round pin, and are calling it the Smoothie. It has a timeless outline designed to accommodate a wide range of conditions. The bottom starts with a slight roll in the nose transitioning to a light single through the center.

Sista Brotha
Developed from Noa Deane's free-surfing travels, the Sista Brotha excels in conditions from beach breaks to point breaks. It features a single to a double concave, moderate entry rocker and a low tail rocker with a fuller rail, making this lovely board that allows high performance lovers to execute radical maneuvers without thinking twice. ® Rusty Surfboards
Dragon
This board is a small wave machine. Its feather-like weight and great maneuverability allow you to fit maneuvers in any tiny piece of wave. It's like having a cloud under your feet while still feeling secure enough to perform a deep bottom-turn or bust a crazy air. Thanks to its vacuum construction, the glassing job on a dRaGon is twice as light as those on regular surfboards, and more compact. The vacuum construction also improves the board endurance and durability. The Flowtech bottom reduces friction between the board and the ocean generating extra speed and fluidity. The original Flowtech bottomed model by WANTED Shapes will get you furtherer on waves, and faster. It surfs best in 1-3ft waves. Ultralight and extra durable for modern surfing lovers. Flowtech, tail patch and 5 fin system included. ® WANTED Shapes
Miami Spice
Faster Then Fast
This board takes small wave surfing to a whole new level. A ‘fun’ level for beginners, a ‘progressive’ level for intermediate surfers and a ’shredding’ level for advanced surfers when the conditions aren't looking to flash.
Having width in the outline for paddle power and carry through the flat sections of the wave. A new Double Bump (or aka double flyer) into a Chilli signature Thumb Tail. This allows the tail end of the board to be neatly pulled in so it performs in the pocket part of the wave very nicely, very easily. A slight Single Concave between the feet for speed and Vee out behind the back fin for easy transition from rail to rail. Choose your Thruster or Quad setup (it comes with 5 plugs for your convenience), your desired volume (we recommend 2-3 Litres higher then your general shortboard) and your away. You have to experience the Miami Spice!

Fader
Fader
Shaped and Designed by James Cheal
Welcome your new model to fit the much needed 5 fin round tail board in the quiver. Fresh with a thumb tail (not too wide for bigger stuff and not too pinny for the smaller stuff, a perfect balance), very fast outline with no break, all drive and speed for this one.
With a new rocker changing the sweet spot allowing you to get up in the trickiest take offs and be smack bang on target for the whole wave. This board works really well in the pocket. We kept a single concave in the mid section, allowing it to hold through turns when your out on the face. Just behind the back fin it goes to a flat bottom for release and an easy transition from rail to rail.
Complete with a 5 fin set up, makes it well rounded in all conditions. With the new FCS II system we have found the Performer template to well in the pocket and Carver template for down the line drive. In Futures we found the JJF template to work best in the pocket and the AM2 template for drive.
Accompanying the Fader will be The Fader Step Up in a pin tail.
Faded
A new model we have created from the Fader. Designed to be ridden 1 inch shorted then your Fader. This is a board you can trust, if you had an around the world trip booked and only room for 1 surfboard, this your board.
Let’s break down the key strength elements - a strong board plays a huge part in having trust in your board when the waves are good. This board is glassed with 6 oz x 4 oz deck / 4 oz + Innegra + twin carbon strip bottom. The Twin carbon is designed to reinforce the body of the board down the centre and the Innegra is woven into the bottom roll of 4 oz fibreglass and assists with flex so your board still performs at a high level. It’s designed to be strong and perform. We did R&D through Project Black over the past 12 months this board with riders Jay Davies and Luke Egan both big builds and heavy footed surfers.
The design - we’ve taken the Fader (a popular Chilli model for good to excellent wave types) and added more foam in the centre of the board, allowing more paddle power. The rocker is a very smooth entry in the nose with a flow all the way out through the tail, it’s rides silky smooth out on the face and tight in the pocket. A med/low rail to bite into the water but not too low, it’s very forgiving. Bottom con- tour is a shallow single concave right through the board, enough for speed but shallow enough to keep flow in all conditions. Having the continuous outline into a neat round tail it’s a pleasure to ride.
Slayer 2
The Slayer has been a favorite for 10+ years. From time to time Rusty has been asked if he could make it a little looser off the top and bottom. Thus, the Slayer 2. The Slayer 2 has the wide point pulled back towards the midpoint. This tends to pull in the nose and give more curve to the tail section. It has slightly more rocker on both ends and has a light double barrel vee (Slayer 1 has a single concave). We recommend that the Slayer 1 be ridden 4 inches shorter than your regular performance shortboard but the Slayer 2 should be ridden approximately 2 inches shorter, or even the same length. The foil is more balanced as opposed to the Slayer 1 (which has a fair bit of volume in the front third of the board). For those of you who remember the Traveler, the Slayer 2 is in between that design and the Slayer 1. The Slayer 2 is a modern step-up. ® Rusty Surfboards
Rare Bird
Chilli Surfboards - Rare Bird
The Rare Bird, Chilli's best all round surfboard.
If you liked the Toucan and Birdseye you are going to love the Rare Bird. This board has proven to be our best selling and most favoured Chilli Surfboard of ALL time! We basically built this board from Mitch Coleborns favourite Toucan in which he rode a 5'4 with a 5'6 width and thickness. With a single concave under the front foot back to a double concave and slight vee out through the back fin for easy transition rail to rail. The wide point is a little further forward allowing a smooth flow in smaller waves.. Combining that with a medium rail and pulled in thumb tail this board screams versatility and forgiveness. Quin fin setup has proven a huge plus with this model allowing it to perform in small stuff right up to head high barrels.
We suggest you ride this 2-4 inches shorter than your standard shortboard. It sits nicely in between your Sugar and your A2.
Rarest Bird
More fun.
Still want to make the most of small conditions? This board has more width, more thickness, more paddle power, more speed when the waves are average, it's the NEW Rare Bird. With a fuller outline and more volume, it allows you to enjoy weaker, smaller waves while not sacrificing performance. The single to double concave gives you a fast and responsive board in conditions that are sub par.
Suitable for every level of surfer, ride it about 3-5 inches shorter than your standard shortboard. It fits right at the start of your quiver for 1 - 3 foot conditions.

Oh One
Oh One
Chilli Surfboards latest creation is the Oh One. Combining 3 key elements from a few of our most favourite models we have the ultimate all round, all condition shortboard
We've added the volume in the centre (stringer) of the board for a much similar feel to the Rare Bird for paddle power and foam under the front foot to keep you moving through the flat sections but kept the rail low so it doesn't feel like a big board.
We have taken the bottom contours (very similar rocker and concaves) from the Spawn and Fader to create a high performance ride in critical steeper sections.
Throw a thumb tail similar to the Fader (touch wider) accompanied with a 5 fin set up. When ridden thruster it's sharp and accurate and super fast and flow when ridden with a quad set up.
Drop 1-2 inches from your Spawn (or rise 1 from your Peri Peri) or select your preferred litres. This board excels in 2-6 foot surf.

Dozer
The Dozer is the high-performance shortboard that eats mediocre waves for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It packs about as much volume as possible into the shortboard outline, with a couple unique tweaks that keep it lively. It's the chine in the rail near the forward fins and the accentuated V through the tail that really keep this board ahead of the pack. Ride it 3 to 5 inches smaller than your regular shortboard, and in anything knee to head high. ® Rusty Surfboards
Mi Amigo
The Mi Amigo is a high performance board with an old foil revisited. The rocker is relaxed at both ends and the template has a 2.5 inch difference in width between the nose and tail. The bottom features a light single concave that is deepest between the feet, approximately 0.15 inches. The tail thickness is what really makes this board different. The last 12 inches of the board is where the rail gets blocky and the deck gets progressively flatter as it comes to the block. The block is approximately .25 of an inch thicker than the norm, which is roughly .5 of an inch. This slightly thicker tail block and its square contour helps to keep the tail higher in the water and the angular contours release water more efficiently. ® Rusty Surfboards
Panda
This is what William Cardoso, aka Panda, rides in competition. Panda is a heavy surfer, 200 lbs, yet very powerful, throws buckets of water on every turn. He needs something to float him but still be a high performance surfboard. Good amount of rocker combined with an expressive single concave plus a kick in the last 3 inches of the tail. All that combined enables William to go vertical in tight arcs. The board has a curvy outline, a pronounced bump and a not so wide squash. The rails are tapered to sink in the water for powerful turns, keeping the thickness at the center with an accentuated dome deck. For waves waist high to double overhead. ® Rusty Surfboards
Sista Brotha
Developed from Noa Deane's free-surfing travels, the Sista Brotha excels in conditions from beach breaks to point breaks. It features a single to a double concave, moderate entry rocker and a low tail rocker with a fuller rail, making this lovely board that allows high performance lovers to execute radical maneuvers without thinking twice. ® Rusty Surfboards

Model 8
For the Model 8 Rusty added more rocker coming from the Sista Brotha which translates into quicker and shorter arc turns. The deck is flatter, creating more natural flex, paddling power yet making the board more sensitive. A bit fuller nose helps transitioning through flatter spots and dead sections but not compromising the lip attack. The board is fast, loose and surfs a great variety of conditions from punchy beach breaks to long points. ® Rusty Surfboards
Enough Said
Developed together with Josh Kerr. A thumb tail performance shortboard that features a fairly relaxed proven nose rocker and a heavy single concave in the back half of the board. The tail rocker is slightly lower to accommodate the heavy concave. There is slightly less volume under the chest to minimize the swing weight. This board is designed to react quickly in the pocket when you need it most. ® Rusty Surfboards
Blackbird
The SR-71 is the fastest manned jet ever built. Blackbird is its nickname. Based on that concept Rusty designed this board to cover ground quickly! Developed for the bigger days chasing down peaks in open waters and battling currents, it is the perfect wave-hawking weapon. It features added volume, an area-forward outline, lower entry rocker and a light vee in the nose, allowing it to paddle into anything, even in the toughest of surf conditions. With a slight single-to-double-concave bottom running through the fins and rounded pintail, the Blackbird delivers smooth transitions and fast, clean lines. A heavy hitter for any arsenal! ® Rusty Surfboards

Barking Spider
The Barking Spider is a hybrid shortboard combining the outline and high volume of the Hustler with the performance rail and rocker of the Yes Thanks, making it Clint's go-to in waist to overhead surf. The pronounced double concave under the rider's feet creates smooth and effortless rail-to-rail transitions. Adding a subtle hip in the outline and a sharp, shallow swallowtail allows you to snap off a turn anywhere you want on a wave. Together this combination makes it an ideal board in waist to overhead surf! ® Rusty Surfboards
Chew Toy v1
Rusty considers the Chew Toy to be the ideal "step-up groveler or hybrid", as it will handle a much broader range of waves and conditions than most other boards in those categories. Derived from Rusty's long time favorite Piranha, the Chew Toy features a few modern tweaks to improve the performance and versatility. The deck configuration allows us to pack in some additional liters for better paddling proficiency, and the tighter tail template and additional rocker when compared to traditional grovelers improves the performance. Key to the Chew Toy's improved performance is the alternative materials and construction: the use of an EPS core, epoxy glassing, carbon on stringer and its rail architecture gives the board progressive flex through the nose and tail while maximizing torsional flex. This multi-plane flexing creates a positive lively feel that sets it apart from anything else. ® Rusty Surfboards

Dragon 2
The Dragon 2 is WANTED Shapes premium model when it comes to high performance surfboards. For the past 18 months the Dragon 2 has been tested and reviewed by WANTED Shapes' top rider Ruben Gonzalez, who is categorical in his feedback: one of the most insane surfboards he has ever ridden. This board has been specially developed in EPS/Epoxy with a few high-tech inputs that further enhance its overall performance: vacuum glassing, Flowtech and Xflex. Let's break it down: the Flowtech (homogeneous and symmetrical irregularities on the board’s bottom) enhances speed and flow; the vacuum option ensures glassing uniformity which translates into ultra lightness and the feeling of a more compact surfboard, therefore more responsive as a whole; the Xflex also enhances flexibility allowing the surfboard to recover more quickly from turns. These added carbon strips on the board's bottom allow you to restore the trajectory faster and immediately set up for the next move. The Dragon 2 is the ultimate high performance surfboard. ® WANTED Shapes
SD
The new SD, or San Diego shortboard, is designed to be the ideal go-to shortboard for Southern California. The SD performs well in everything from the softer beachbreaks of Del Mar and Leucadia to the hollow reef breaks of La Jolla and Sunset Cliffs. Rusty took the predictable performance of the Yes, Thanks and dialed it in for smaller, softer surf by adding volume, a little width and an increase in thickness. The rails of the SD are foiled with a low apex. A crowned deck helps maximize the volume in this fun shortboard. The bottom of the SD has a deep single concave that allows the board to generate speed through the flats. Ride the SD 2-4 inches shorter than your traditional shortboard due to the additional volume, and enjoy the results of this looser, faster precision shortboard! ® Rusty Surfboards
Cherry Peppa
Chilli Surfboards - Cherry Peppa
Keeping the Peppa series alive we have the Cherry Peppa. It features a similar bottom to the Red Peppa, slight single down to a very strong double concave and vee out through the tail. The vee bottom really compliments this board as it has a very flat rocker (which allows it to be uber fast) making the transition from rail to rail nice and simple. Think, the days you rock up and it's 1 foot summer slop, you won't be driving home without salty hair a a smile on your face if you have this board in the quiver. It's the ultimate summer pal. Equiped with a 5 fin option for your choice of a quad set-up (which we highly recommend on a point break), or a thruster set-up for that shorey bash we all love to go for. Drop 5-6 inches from your shortboard (or 2-3 inches from your Rare Bird), this board has area for paddle power and stability for all levels of surfing.
Chupacabra
The Chupacabra is a high volume groveler with a pure Venturi channel with no spine (the stringer stays up high at the center) to create speed. The board has very low rocker with a very light concave running through the center to flat in between the fins ending onto a very light vee at the end of the tail. It has a very high and pronounced wing that breaks the outline flow creating a quick turning point. The tail is a generous round with planning surface, and yet tight turning arcs in the pocket. Thickness is concentrated on the chest area and it paddles very well and catches waves with ease. The Venturi and foam through the tail make this board extremely capable of connecting the flat spots, keeping the board always loaded with energy. The nose is not as wide as other grovelers, and the wide point considered “narrow”, the Chubacabra performs as a performance shortboard. It should be ridden at least 3'' smaller than your short board. This model excels in small surf but is has been put to test in some decent surf with surprisingly good performance. ® Rusty Surfboards

Dwart
This board literally walks on water. Better yet, runs on water. We're talking easy paddling, a fast ride, effortless glide and lip blasting vertical capabilities, all packed into one board. The Dwart takes the basic elements of a modern Fish and fuses them with a few high-performance design techniques to take it to the next level. You want a board that does it all? Get yourself Dwart. ® Rusty Surfboards
Slayer
What Josh Kerr rode in Fiji, Tahiti and the Pipe Masters in his 2013 campaign. Part of the Kerrlection series, the Slayer is designed as a step-up with four inches taken off at the front end. The wide point is now two inches forward of center instead of two inches back, giving you a little longer rail line yet more control for those tight pockets. And a touch of width to the center, re-blend the front end, giving the board a little fuller nose and relaxed rocker. This combination allows it to paddle well, make drops and fit you into the barrel. ® Rusty Surfboards
Cousin It
Closely related to the Boxsta and fused with the Voodoo's coffin tail and bottom contours, this model has a flatter tail rocker than the Boxsta which drives through flatter sections and keeps speed on the open face. The pulled in tail allows for ease of turns, while the extra volume allows for paddle speed. To be ridden 3-4 inches shorter than your standard pro series dimensions and performs best in 2-4 foot waves. ® JR Surfboards
Churro
Churro
WE NEEDED A BOARD TO FIT IN OUR RANGE THAT CATERS SMALL WAVES, IS FORGIVING, HAS A BIG GENEROUS SWEET SPOT AND PERFORMS.
We had the perfect board right under our nose for over the past year. It’s designed mainly from Mitch Coleborn’s WQS small wave contest board (as we all know the quality of waves on the World Qualifying Series are poor). It’s like a squashed down Spawn (the outline that is) and combined with a much flatter faster rocker.
Let’s break it down - The Churro has a semi wide outline with a rounded square tail (we offer a swallow too) but not too wide that it can’t be surfed with performance, just enough to be paddle friendly in the small stuff and carry momentum through the fat sections. The rocker is gentle through the nose all the way to the tail, enough curve in the board to fit the curl of a small wave and still generate speed when doing so. Single concave under the front foot all the way back through to behind the rear fin… it’s FAST. All paired with a neat 5 fin set up.
If you've ridden the Rare Bird, the dimensions on the Churro are almost identical so go off that or drop 3 inches from your short board

More fun.
Still want to make the most of small conditions? This board has more width, more thickness, more paddle power, more speed when the waves are average, it's the NEW Rare Bird. With a fuller outline and more volume, it allows you to enjoy weaker, smaller waves while not sacrificing performance. The single to double concave gives you a fast and responsive board in conditions that are sub par.
Suitable for every level of surfer, ride it about 3-5 inches shorter than your standard shortboard. It fits right at the start of your quiver for 1 - 3 foot conditions.
