posted on Tuesday, October 02, 2018
It's that time of the year again. Autumn swells will soon be marching up the coast. The waves will be travelling faster and hitting that long dormant rock platform or sand bank you call home. You will need the right board for your current state of being to get the most out of this good time for surfing.
Worry not.
We have just the perfect solution to keep you busy during the cold season: 5 worldwide proven surfboard designs that will get the job of handling sizeable fall/winter swells done.
Check them out!
One of Chilli Surfboards' latest models, the A2 was designed off an old faithful file that had been sitting in the archive of James' Macbook since 2003. The model back then was ridden (and loved) by none other than Andy Irons throughout 2003-2004 (his prime). See model »
The board Wade Carmichael has been riding throughout the 2018 WSL Championship Tour, where he's currently placed 7th. Your chance of getting yourself a high performance shape tested and proven among the best. See model »
This high-tech surfboard model combines the strength and liveliness of an EPS/Epoxy board with the familiar feel of a stringer board. Vacuum glassed featuring Flowtech and Xflex technology. See model »
A board you can trust: if you had an around-the-world trip booked and only room for 1 surfboard, the Faded would be the wisest pick. Designed to be strong and perform. See model »
A modern step-up designed off the original Slayer to become looser off the top and bottom. Really fast and precise in the barrel. A must-have winter weapon. See model »
