Surfboard Reviews

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.

Got the HYFY version in 5"5, couple more liters than usual volume. Set up with Power Twins + trailer. What was supposed to be my groveler for small days has turned into my favorite allrounder. It shines in small surf, and flies in good conditions. When conditions are clean, it doesn't mind a bit of size and curve too. I surf it confidently in well overhead hollow conditions here in Bali. It paddles into waves too easily, and turns on a dime. I've also tried the PU in same dims, and the HYFY is def more lively. Chop isn't too much of a problem either, surprisingly for an epoxy construction. Fin wise, I've tried it as a tri and quad but to me it feels magic as 2+ 1. This board should be in every quiver. It always puts a smile on my face. I'd be keen on trying the Black Baron too, but I feel the versatility of the Pyscho is hard to beat with fin placement options, and honestly, I love the surfing it allows me to do on it for such an easy shape. 10/10, just buy it, you won't regret it.

It was a great board and still is. Great for carving and barrel riding.

Paddles like a dream! Catches everything that you’d miss on another board. Really maneuverable and responsive. You can create speed out of nothing and get through flat spots or get around sections with ease. Haven’t surfed it a whole lot yet so I know it’ll only get better as I dial in how it should be ridden.

I love this board. It paddles great, feels locked in on the face, releases easy and has good hold for big turns and cutbacks. The extra volume doesn't hold you back. Excels in chest to 2 ft overhead conditions. Struggles in steep, barreling conditions, and big slightly messy surf.

It’s definitely a great every day board when the waves are more than 2 ft. EPS makes it a very light board that is easy to turn. I had the most fun in small, hollow conditions. Only downside is that it has some quality issues and won’t last very long (mine had two yellow spots on the rail and that’s exactly where it broke in 2ft conditions and without radical maneuvers). In conclusion I’d still say it’s a great small wave performance board but you need to check it extremely carefully in sunlight, especially the rails before you go ahead and buy it.

Amazing, I just started surfing so I went to the beginners category, and I fell in love with this board.
