Fourth Surfboards HP Chilli Shortboard Hybrid (3 x Fin - Thruster) Surfboard

The HP Chilli is Fourth's answer to electric, high energy wave riding in the UK. If you want to add some flare to your surfing in average waves without going down the conventional shortboard route then the HP Chilli should be your next surfboard. 

The concept of the HP Chilli comes from summer banks at home when you just want to surf with lots of energy. The team often asked for fun boards to get expressive on and refining our best selling Chilli Bean to be more performance oriented just made sense. Instant speed and lots of lift being the foundations on which the Chilli series was built on, then adding some drive on rail and more hold in the pocket. You end up with a skatey daily driver perfect for your every day UK waves when you want to go really fast and do lots of spinners!

The outline of the HP Chilli offers you a wider tail base and a more parallel mid section than the Chilli Bean shape. This parallel rail then pulls into a wide by shortboard standards and average by groveller standards nose. This Bullet like shape gives you lots of down the line acceleration and added stability whilst on the tail.

The rocker is ever so slightly raised in entry and exit which allows for tighter turns and a more pocket friendly feel compared to the Chilli Bean. The mid section remains pretty flat to ensure down the line trajectory is always present.

The foil is foam friendly throughout to ensure a stable platform even at shorter rail lengths, essentially meaning you can go shorter than you normally would. 

The rails are very forgiving in this board with the hard edge from the tail pivoting to much softer up top. They feel lovely and soft to the touch, and help to keep the board feeling fluid and loose at all times.

The bottom contours on the HP Chilli are where the magic really lies. the entry is a soft vee that accentuates the rail rocker as much as possible without pushing water. This then graduates into a subtle single that maintains right through to the back of the board.

For fins this board offers great options as a quad in the sloppy stuff or as a thruster in better shaped waves.
