The Xanadu Mithras is a high-performance small wave board dialed in for explosive, aerial surfing. A hybrid creation from Xanadu’s most popular hi-fi grovelers, the Mithras is fine-tuned for advanced surfers who thrive on speed, looseness, and unpredictability—perfect for those looking to push progression on average summer days.
The Mithras features a slightly wider nose and tail for added forgiveness and wave-catching ability, which also helps maintain lift through soft sections. But don’t let that fool you—this board is fast, loose, and intentionally squirrelly. With Xanadu’s signature small-wave rocker, it generates incredible down-the-line drive, perfect for building speed into launch ramps and flying through flat spots.
It’s a trickster’s dream, with a playful yet high-strung character. If you're looking for control and composure, look elsewhere. If you're ready to boost, spin, and stomp, this board is your summer ritual.
Pros:
* Designed for airs and advanced trick-based surfing
* Wide nose and tail provide lift and forgiveness in small waves
* Incredibly fast with exceptional drive
* Great option for performance groveling and progressive summer surfing
Cons:
* Too loose and unstable for beginner or intermediate surfers

Summary:
The Xanadu Mithras is a pure expression of modern, high-performance small wave surfing. Built for advanced surfers who want to launch, spin, and push limits on soft days, it offers unmatched speed and looseness. If your summer goals include progression and above-the-lip fun, the Mithras is ready—just be prepared to hang on.
