Had the original BV years back. Was pretty damned fun board.
My USA built Faded 2.0 Gun seems decently built so far but it's probably got a bit more glass than a standard board.
I’m pretty sure Jose Barahona and his team in Hermosa are doing a good percentage of domestic Chilli’s. They’re solid builds. I can only comment on the PU’s.
Ever ridden the standard dim Faded 2.0 version? I haven't seen any in person and wondering how the rocker/foam distribution compares to a ghost. My ghost is pretty beat up and most likely I will replace it with a fresh one, but the standard dim faded 2.0 has me a little curious also.
Negative. The Faded Gun is the only Chili I've ridden and to be honest I rarely see the boards out in the real world. I did recently surfed with a woman who was riding the OG Black Vulture and she was a big fan. I got to feel it up and it definitely passed the fondle test.
So you got to feel up a strange woman's black vulture. Hope your wife doesn't find out about this.
Got one on the way, friend loves his, said he liked the original even better though. Mine will be in the Twin tech, I think it's called, and at my height. Will report.
I ended up ordering this bv2 last year with xtr. Its a fun board that works most days. I find it to paddle extremely well, catches waves easy, and generates speed easy. Kind of a board to grab that will work in a good amount of conditions. My biggest complaint is really just the way I sized it. This is the only Chilli i've had, but 33L feels like more compared to all my other boards. I just wish it had less float in it. I been on the fence about having them remake it with less but not sure if it bothers me enough. Also it is in a boxing match with my Aipa dark twin at the moment and they are neck and neck. Been trying to figure out which to keep and which to let go but its been a tough call. Probably just end up keeping both, haha
for a chilli that’s a pretty flat nose rocker. Looks fun, might get a fat one myself
Yeh that was the first thing that got my attention. Paddling out I was like....dang this board paddles really well for what it is. Has sort of a flattish deck to it that makes it feel a little bigger than it is also under chest. I had stuck a tp twin+trailer set in it and haven't really had much reason to change it.
