TOP 10 BEST-SELLING SURFBOARD MODELS OF 2017: #7 BLACK VULTURE

A wave catching machine that turns on a dime

 

2018 is here, and so is the 4th chapter of our Best Sellers guide edition. We keep sharing with you the Top 10 surfboard models of 2017 according to our customers' preferences – world-class designs made of premium materials that have brighten up the days of hundreds of surfers across Europe.

Today we present you the #7 Black Vulture by Chilli Surfboards
 
The Black Vulture is Chilli's newest model that team rider Lee Wilson put to the test. Lee fell in love with his 5'5'' Black Vulture and claims it's 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 (much similar foam distribution to the Rare Bird). Chilli 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. Chilli's team riders have surfed it as a twin with center stabiliser and with a traditional thruster set-up and found gold in both.
