- Welcome to our full review of the Chilli Surfboards Churro 2 in Twin Tech from Australia's number one wave pool URBNSURF
We checked out the Churro 2 in Twin Tech in their stock 6'0 which was 6'0 x 19 3/4 x 2 9/16 = 31.7L

Churro 2 EPS TT
The Churro got an upgrade! Our new daily driver model, the Churro 2 has next-level small wave performance features that is an essential board to add to your quiver to dominate conditions from 2-foot slop through to 5-foot pumping surf. With a focus on super user-friendly, performance surfing and everyday conditions in mind, James blended all the favourite features of the original board (fast and forgiving) with a few updated tweaks, and we ve arrived with an essential daily driver that will connect all the dots from beach break junk to long point breaks (and everything in between), this board will bring you the stoke!
The outline has been pulled in slightly at the nose and tail (around the 12 mark, losing the hips & shoulders) from the original Churro and has really given the Churro 2 a smoother, less catchy feel. The wide point is relatively neutral in the centre of the board (providing a massive sweet spot) continuing down into a neat round square tail with enough width to carry you through any slower section that gets thrown your way.
The rockers very forgiving much like the original. The moderate entry, flattish middle and moderate exit out the tail gives you unlimited down the line speed. Simple single to very slight double concave out the fins bottom contour keeps this board incredibly user friendly in all conditions.
Through the Project Black R&D stages of this model, we have found a neutral fin template (not too upright & not too raked) provides speed, flow and response that compliments this model. In FCS 2 the Performer template and in FUTURES the F6 template work well, just select your size to fit.
In the Churro 2 we rode a few fins by Futures Fins, but really liked the R8 Blackstix by Futures!
From futuresfins.com.au
Futures Blackstix fins feature a V2 inside foil that generates and maintains speed throughout turns. The precision carbon and fiberglass matrix construction paired with specialized epoxy resin provides a very lightweight fin with incredible response, making your board feel livelier.
Template Category | Rake (drawn out/drive)
Construction | Blackstix

Good to see you back on a shortboard , great video 👍
Yes! Has it's moments, but definitely feel like my shortboard game isn't quite up to scratch...But something I'm trying to work on!
Hey Craig, have loved your reviews from way back... Getting my 6'0 Churro 2 tomorrow ,except going with R6 instead of R8 blackstix. Im 76kg so hopefully it does the trick. Thanks for your work throughout the years!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it, and the R6 is probably better with your weight ✌️
Board looks real nice great flow and pivot, would love to see a direct comparison on neutral,upright and rake fins. When I held the rake and neutral blackstix together they were really similar in template
Hey! Yeah, I'd love to break them all down. Silly me didn't grab the upright template though, so might try grab them and put something together...
Great vids man!! ✌🏽 would you say the churro 2 would do well in 5-6ft conditions? Kinda tempted to get it but idk if it would do good in em bigger conditions
Thoughts on the Churro 2 in PU vs the OG Flyer in PU?
That looks like the final form of the perfect short board.
Ha! It does have a very nice profile and is a very attractive board...
Another great review Craig, I wonder that would you recommend Churro 2 or Hot Knife for 2 to 4ft beach break? Where I surf sometime is quite steep but also is mushy sometime. Thanks!
Either really - they both have a lot of lower end capability for a shortboard, but both also perform well when the waves get bigger and better ✌️
Hey craig love the vids i have the burning question for you tho would you rather this board or the 5,11 volume 2 you rode and also how they felt compared to each other cheers a million🤙
It’s kinda hard to compare as the Vol2 review was like 2-3 years ago…
Sorry, I know that isn’t much help, but I’d be making it up giving you a response.
Oh yup sweet as what about this board or the rusty keg ? If you had to pick one cheers
@@TheSurfboardGuidecould you just recommend which surfs bigger waves better? Like 6ft
Hi Craig, compliments, some advice churro, churro 2, hotknife or A2 for beach breaks 2/4 feet, intermediate, I would like a short to turn tight and progress, but which also allows me to pass foam without getting too bogged down, which one would you recommend? I looked at your review of the A2 and I really liked it, is it a good board? also to what size would you recommend? I'm 1.91 x 93kg but I don't want to be obsessed with the volume. thank you in advance
Awesome review mate! Which one is more pointy, CI happy everyday or Churro?
Narrower through the nose? Churro 2.
@@TheSurfboardGuide and about the feeling? Which one do you prefer e in which conditions?
Both similar - they both feel like a good shortboard for less than average waves. I did like how the Churro 2 was able to find performance in average waves without blowing out the outline too much, so the front end still felt very free through the water etc. I hope that makes sense ✌️
Hey mate love the reviews...for you what takes the cake Churro 2 or volume 2 ?...seems like they are similar cheers
Interested to hear as well
Yeah I had a Volume 2 but it was like 3 years ago - not sure if you have seen our review on it? They both seem to be more forgiving shortboards that sit below the A2 and other more high performance shortboards, so would be good to work out the differences between the two...
Let's see how we go...
Was it that long ago, wow..yeah bit hard to remeber how somthing felt after that long..yeah I have watched your review on the volume 2 and a few other reviews on it.. Seems like a good one too.. maybe the churro has a better lower range.
Thanks for the reply 🤙
@@benjaminclarke7668 Yeah it was a while ago. And I was riding like 29L then and now I'm like 32L. It would be good to come back to it as I loved The Spawn from Chilli, so frothed out on the Volume 2!
Appreciate the review, as always, great work! How would the churro 2 compare to a monstabox? Chur
Haven’t ridden a Monstabox in years, but very similar in that forgiving shortboard for everyday waves category. The twin tech is super lively and I found the Churro 2 just super easy to surf and very capable - haven’t ridden a Monstabox in years, but if I was picking between the two I think I’d be going Churro 2.
@@TheSurfboardGuide Thanks or the feedback, turning back the clock a bit with the monstabox but was the one board I was trying to replace in the quiver. Just ordered a custom Churro 2. Stoked!
Hope it worked for you! Let me know how you go ✌️
Hey bro, any chance of getting a review of this in ocean conditions, keen to see that side. Ripping mate.
Hey! As I mentioned I surfed it in the ocean back home and it went great, very forgiving and easy to surf. Might see i can get another Volume 2 and compare the two. In the ocean.
board looks so good would you do a stacy board review the roach 2 🙏
Thanks!
Nah, I haven’t really connected with Stacey.
We did a few reviews a few years back.

✌️
I’m currently stuck between the inferno 72 or the churro 2 any advice or suggestions
Never ridden the Inferno, but i don't think you'd be disappointed with the Churro!
I like the Churro 2 more
