The Xanadu BG-2 is a refined small-wave performance board built to generate maximum speed and flow in weak, mushy surf. With a 3/4" wider outline than its predecessor, the BG-2 features a straighter rail line, fuller rails, and flatter nose and tail rocker—resulting in excellent glide and drive through flat sections. Designed with bigger surfers in mind, especially those over 190 lbs, the board also has increased nose width and a tuned entry rocker for easier paddling and earlier wave entry.
The wider nose and tail enhance planing speed and improve lift in slower surf, making it a go-to board when the waves lack punch but you still want to surf with energy and control.
Pros:
* Excellent speed and drive in small, weak conditions
* Great paddle power and easy wave entry
* Fuller rails and wider dimensions suit larger surfers
* Ideal for improving wave count and maintaining momentum
Cons:
* Too wide and flat for steeper, hollower waves
* May lack the responsiveness of narrower high-performance boards in critical sections
Summary:
The Xanadu BG-2 is a small-wave weapon built for bigger surfers or anyone looking for more speed, paddle power, and fun when conditions aren’t ideal. With its fuller outline and rocker tweaks, it turns slow, mushy days into high-wave-count sessions. A must-have in the quiver for anyone who refuses to sit out the small days—and wants to fly through flat sections with ease.
