Figured it was probably hit or miss. The extra $70 or whatever for color is a pretty good deal, I just don’t really trust that I’ll get the color I ask for
My Moonstone is grey/purps faux resin tint.

as long as the color they choose isn't "Weak P!ss", it will be better than the alternative.Figured it was probably hit or miss. The extra $70 or whatever for color is a pretty good deal, I just don’t really trust that I’ll get the color I ask for

I had an Aipa about 10 months old that is still white, but it hasn't had many sessions on it. In my experience, if your worried about a yellowing board, than go color. Every time they put out a new version, 7., 8., 10. etc... they say the yellowing is fixed, but I haven't seen it. I expect the Aipa to change at some point as well.
Sometimes if your a new customer or a loyal customer they will hook you up. Might be worth reaching out to them if your going to order.
Second the above. This is like the fourth time that xtr has claimed the new epoxy formulation has solved yellowing. Epoxy resin tends to yellow. All brands. No one has solved it. Get color if it’s a concern.
I ordered a BV2 that will be ready for pickup soon from them
Had time to swing by and grab my Chilli bv2. Board came out clean with no issues. 5'11" x 19 7/8 x 2 5/8 33.5L. Feels like it should be fun. I head to CR next week, maybe i'll pack it along with the ghost.
Clean lil XTR logo. Boar looks great!

Is that 10C?
Do they still have the flex value on the board?
I had the OG BV and it was a pretty fun little board!
Did you run yours as a thruster or twin + trailer? Sounds like it works pretty well with both configs.
This one is 10c. No flex sticker. Shey mentioned they have only done a couple of Chilli's so far. I never tried any of their shapes, but since xtr just started offering them, I thought I'd give one a try. They have some fun looking boards.
Chili’s not the Oz brand that killed surfing culture in Oside, right? That was JS?
aye mate, you can put down your pitchfork.
got my first Chili this yr as well. the 7-2 gun. i dig it. will have to try one of his daily drivers at some point.
Mostly ran AMT fronts with varied trailers. Biggest issue with that board was how quickly I destroyed the deck.
I don’t think the flex value is an accurate measurement based on my experience of having two identical borts made and the flex value being two different values. I think they get kindergarteners come in and try perfecting their small circles on those lams.
Agreed. I have a 6'6" xtr ledge glassed lighter, and a 5'11 ttttthick insanity variant glassed like a tank. The 6'6 definitely flexes, the 5'11 doesn't flex at all (both were supposed to be 6x6x6 but the ledge definitely isnt once i compared with the 5'11) Not upset by it, but they're both a 2 on the flex value thing. I wouldn't read into that stuff too much
anyone happen to have a black Friday discount code for XTR surfboards for 2023?
