Summary:
The BV2 is Chilli’s refined take on the original Black Vulture—built for speed, flow, and fun in small, weak surf. By tightening up the design and blending performance elements, this summer board is both forgiving and fast. Whether you run it as a twin + stabilizer or a thruster, the BV2 is designed to keep your wave count high and your lines clean.
Pros:
Full nose and forward wide point = excellent paddling and early entry
Refined tail (straighter rail into swallow) offers more control and hold
Flatter rocker = instant speed generation
Versatile fin options (2+1 or thruster) for customizable feel
Great balance of performance and user-friendliness
Cons:
Tail can feel tracky if you’re expecting looseness like a groveler
Not ideal for punchy or overhead waves—made for summer surf
Final Verdict:
The BV2 is the ideal weapon for summer sessions. It builds on the strengths of the original Black Vulture while adding more speed and refined handling. Whether you're carving through mush or linking sections on a playful point, this board brings reliable performance with a fun-first approach. A true standout in the "good vibes" category.
