Chilli / RARE BIRD EVO BLACK SPICE CARBON
The Rare Bird, Chilli's best all around board. Just got an upgrade!
The Rare Bird board is our best selling model of ALL time! We decided to incorporate the bottom that our Mid Strength, Twin Strength, Full Strength, and Middy all share. We start with a single concave under the front foot back to a deeper double concave through the fins and a slight vee off the tail for easy transition rail to rail. The wide point is a little further forward allowing a smooth flow in smaller waves.. Combining that with a medium/low rail and pulled in thumb tail. Making the EVO one our most versatile and forgiving models in our line up.
We suggest you ride this 2-4 inches shorter than your standard shortboard

Introducing Chilli Carbon Black Spice Technology
Elevate your surfing. Experience the next level of performance, durability, and a dynamic feel with Chilli Carbon Black Spice - an exclusive upgrade for your favorite Chilli models.
In-Depth Explanation: What is Carbon Black Spice Technology?
At Chilli Surfboards, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in surfboard design and construction. Our new Carbon Black Spice Technology is the culmination of years of R&D, combining cutting-edge materials and innovative construction techniques to deliver an unparalleled surfing experience.
This isn't just another board; it's an enhancement. We start with a lightweight EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) core for its inherent buoyancy and lively feel. Running through the center is a robust EPS stringer, meticulously chosen to provide longitudinal strength and controlled flex.
The magic happens with our proprietary Carbon Fiber Wrap. Unlike traditional fiberglass, this full carbon wrap over the bottom of the board and rolling over the rails creates a more responsive and durable outer shell. It precisely controls the board's flex and recoil, acting like a spring that loads and releases energy, translating directly into more drive, speed, and pop off the lip.
Carbon Black Spice Technology is not a standalone model, but a premium performance upgrade that can be applied to any existing model in the Chilli range, transforming your go-to board into a high-octane machine. It's a testament to our commitment to innovation, giving you the edge when every turn, every pump, and every air counts.
