TOP 10 BEST-SELLING SURFBOARD MODELS OF 2018: #3 CHURRO
posted on Monday, January 21, 2019
James needed a board to fit in Chilli Surfboards 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 an 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) 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 shortboard.
The Churro has been tested and rated the best surfboard model by Taj Burrow, Craig Anderson and Chippa Wilson in a summer board test carried out by Stab Magazine.
