Surfboard Reviews

Pros: super responsive, can hold through any turn and is amazing on rail. Is my favorite board to ride when the waves are good. Cons: not a good paddler and is needs the waves to have punch or it will straight up not work.

I mostly ride a longboard, but when waves get too big this is my go to board. I tried it out as a quad when the waves were smaller and my pop up was too slow for it to really work for me. I ride it as a thruster with FCS Sally fitzgibbons fins when waves are head high and it works great. It doesn’t paddle as well as my 72 L longboard that’s why I gave a 4 out of 5, but it’s fast and stable and it turns when and I where I want it to turn. I think if I lived at the ocean instead of the Great Lakes this would be my every day board.

Super fast down de line. Easy to move, really impressed about the side can content. Best twin ever....

Sharp as a knife. Is getting my surfing to a new level. Love it.

The Black Baron twin is so fun! I rarely take out the thruster anymore, it’s my go to board in any condition. I’m running the JS FCS II Power Twin fin setup. Handles over head waves with ease. Easy paddler, and has lots of drive. Order your board a few inches shorter than your normal shortboard. You won’t be disappointed. The best thing about it is you’ll have more fun and you can still do your progressive moves or just lay back and throw some style into it. You may even be leaving your thruster in the closet too.

Seems to go best in small waves with good push. Suits twin fin plus trailer. Can surf it in bigger waves with a stiffer thruster fin.

Fantastic board. Paddles like a dream and catches waves like a dream.

This board is epic when the waves aren’t and holds it’s own on bigger stuff as well. I would highly recommend this board to anyone that lives on the east coast and is looking for a board to ride on mushy weak days. It’s a great replacement for a longboard. It does very good in head high surf and is also great if you are a bigger guy I’m 205 and it will put me on anything from a 2 foot wave to an overhead. Very stable and turns on a dime. The fit and finish of a chilli custom is really in a class of its own, superb!!!

Fantastic board. High quality work and surfs amazing.

Home surf break is on the East Coast of the U.S., central coast of North Carolina. I have to say this is one of the most fun surfboards I've ever owned. I thought it was going to be a typical 8ft log: turn, trim, and cruise. BUT - that is not the case with the Solution by Chemistry. This board definitely has performance board characteristics. I'm able to do pretty much my shortboard maneuvers like round house cutbacks, floaters, ride the barrel, and even some side-slip 360's. I'm riding the Solution with Future Twin Fins with a stabilizer. Incredible float, lots of paddle power for early take offs, and tons of fun packed into the Solution by Chemsitry. Highly recommend this board especially for east coast surfers.
