The best summer board according to Taj Burrow, Chippa Wilson and Craig Anderson

Only 2 more to go! We are closer than ever to the full list of best-selling surfboard models of 2017, but first you need to have a look at the #2 Churro by Chilli Surfboards. 
 
James Cheal needed a board to fit in Chilli's range that caters small waves, is forgiving, has a big generous sweet spot and performs. He had the perfect board right under his nose for over a year. The Churro is designed mainly from Mitch Coleborn's WQS small wave contest board. It's like a squashed down Spawn (the outline, that is) combined with a much flatter rocker. Let's break it down for you: the Churro has a semi wide outline with a rounded square tail but not too wide that it can't be surfed with performance, just enough to be paddled 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. All paired with a neat 5 fin setup. We recommend riding this board at your favorite performance board volume or .5 higher. If you're familiar with the Nevada drop 2 inches or the Spawn drop 3 inches. According to surf media Stab, the Churro was selected as the best 2017 summer board by Taj Burrow, Chippa Wilson and Craig Anderson.
