Chilli Surfboards presents the HKII. Seamlessly updating our much-loved Hot Knife, the HKII becomes a well-rounded, step-down shortboard. This board is incredibly user-friendly and exhibits forgiveness across all types of conditions. With the outline still providing the rail-to-rail transitions with ease, the HKII boasts speed and control.
Outline
The HKII features a classic, slightly fuller shortboard outline in the front. We removed the hip through the fins, creating a more fluid ride rail to rail. This facilitates the straighter rail along the tail, enhancing speed, while a nice pulled in swallow tail allows for tight transitions when the section presents itself.
Rocker Profile
Continuing from the Hot Knife, the HK2 has a moderately flat entry rocker, transitioning into a smooth exit. The boards primary focus is maintaining its speed over flat sections while also allowing for tight transitions.
Contours
Continuing with the Hot Knife contours, the HK2 has a single through the nose into a double through the feet, that blends into a vee through the tail. This combo creates a fast board of the take-off that has a super forgiving feeling rail-to-rail and control while you finish your turns.
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.
More than just an upgrade, it's a complete transformation of your ride.
Unrivaled Responsiveness & Speed: The unique carbon fiber weave loads and releases energy with incredible efficiency, providing explosive acceleration and snappier turns. Feel directly connected to the wave.
Enhanced Durability: The carbon wrap creates a significantly stronger outer shell, offering superior ding resistance and extending the lifespan of your board without adding unnecessary weight.
Dynamic & Controlled Flex: Experience a lively, engaged feel underfoot. The Carbon Black Spice construction provides a controlled flex pattern that springs back with precision, giving you more drive out of turns and a higher projection in the air.
Lightweight Precision: EPS core combined with carbon means a board that's incredibly light. Paddle with ease, transition rail-to-rail faster, and maneuver with less effort, making your surfing feel effortless.
Reduced Chatter, Smoother Ride: The structural integrity of the carbon wrap minimizes unwanted vibration and chatter, providing a smoother, more stable ride, especially in choppy conditions.
Signature Style: Each Carbon Black Spice board features a sleek, stealthy black bottom with a clean white Chilli logo, making a statement both in and out of the water.
