CHILLI MID STRENGTH PU

Introducing the Chilli Mid Strength Surfboard – where effortless paddling meets performance mid-length design.

The Mid Strength was born from James “Chilli” Cheal’s need for a board that catches waves with ease while still delivering performance. With a fuller nose, curvy outline, and forgiving round pin tail, this board glides like a larger craft but feels reactive underfoot, giving you all the fun of a mid-length with the maneuverability of a shorter board.

A lower entry rocker paired with a medium exit through the tail creates fast paddling and smooth wave entry, while still holding speed and drive when turning. Underneath, a slight single concave up front flows into a deep single/double concave between the fins, adding speed and looseness. It’s a model designed for surfers who want the board to do the work without losing the thrill of performance surfing.
