Times are changin' and so is the Step Down...
With the standard shortboard evolving so fast over the last couple of years, we thought it time that the Step Down was revamped! The latest version still holds true to the original. We have beefed it up considerably, allowing the rider to push harder through those fat sections while keeping your speed. Check out the Step Down page for new dimensions and volumes...

It has been one year since the passing of Andy Irons. Chilli Surfboards would like to take a moment to remember Andy. He was one of the sports greatest ever athletes, along with being one great human. Chilli spent time with Andy and his family in Kuai early last year. He recalls, that he was welcomed into his house as if family himself. This was who Andy was, a genuine legend of our sport and a down to earth guy, treating everyone the same. Our love goes out to Lindy and the Irons family.
Andy, we miss you.

Chilli took a trip out to Colan Australia yesterday. Colan is a international leader in textile manufacturing and the only fiber glass manufacturer within Australia. We have a very close relationship with Colan who produce our very own glass designed specifically for the Chilli range. This glass is not heat treated like most fiber glass. This is great for the strength of our boards, leaving the cloth as strong as possible as well as being a whole lot better for the environment. Here are a few pics Chilli took of the machines in action...
Cooper Chapman has just taken out the Billabong Pro Junior Asia at Could 9 in the Philippines!
Coops took control of the Final right from the start, earning the highest wave score with his opening ride, a 7.17 From there he didnt let go and commanded the way the heat played out.
"My Pop is really sick at the moment, so I won this event for him!" Chapman said. "They weren’t the best waves in the Final, but I’ll take it. We had good waves earlier in the week so I guess to make it to the Final Oney (Anwar) and I had to prove ourselves in all conditions."
This is the first ASP Pro Junior for 2011/12 year which Cooper is now leading. This is the perfect start for Cooper and we will be watching him throughout the rest of the competition year.
Great work Cooper!!
