The FAD3R is a refined evolution of the original Fader, blending its predecessor's smooth glide and versatility with enhanced performance and paddle power. This updated model is designed for surfers seeking a balance between easy wave entry and responsive manoeuvrability, making it the model for a variety of conditions. When you're planning a trip, you can't always pack all your boards. The FAD3R serves as a one size fits all, capable of handling both mid-sized waves and the heavier waves typical of many overseas surf spots. Ideal for medium to bigger sized waves. The FAD3R maintains its ability to perform in the pocket, while exceeding in more powerful waves.
KEY FEATURES
Improved Paddle Power - A refined outline and volume distribution provides better float where you need it while paddling, making it easier to catch waves.
Enhanced Performance - Sharper rails provide a more dynamic rocker line allowing for quicker transition in the pocket and responsiveness in critical sections of the wave.
Versatility across conditions - Ideal for medium to bigger wave sized waves. The FAD3R maintains its ability to perform in the pocket, while exceeding in more powerful waves.
Practicality for Travel - When travelling, you can't always pack multiple boards. The FAD3R serves as a one size fits all, capable of handling both mid-sized waves and the heavier waves typical of many overseas surf spots.
This board was R&D'd by many of Chilli's riders, from Moana at Pipeline, Balaram at Teahupoo, to Kobi and Saxon competing on the Australian regional WQS. It was the board these surfers gravitated to when the waves got a bit too big for their regular shortboard.
The FAD3R is to be ridden slightly up from your shortboard in volume and length. If you normally ride a 29L shortboard, the stock 6'1 FAD3R at 30.5L will be the go. As we know, larger waves demand respect and the right equipment to handle their power and speed. Surfing a bigger-volumed surfboard helps you rise to the challenge with greater confidence, efficiency and control.
The FAD3R is the perfect companion for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a board that elevates their experience without compromising comfort or ease. © Chilli Surfboards
