The Piglet is the energetic younger sibling of Xanadu’s Pig 2, built for speed, tight turning, and pure fun in small surf. With a similar front-end to the Pig 2—featuring a wide nose for easy wave entry—the Piglet switches things up in the back with a rounder tail and slightly adjusted rocker for a looser, more arcing feel through turns.
This board is built to be ridden short—thanks to the full nose and tail outline, it retains plenty of volume while remaining compact and highly maneuverable. The flatter tail rocker fuels down-the-line speed, while the increased nose rocker helps the board stay responsive in steep sections. It also comes with multiple fin setup options, making it a versatile choice for surfers who want to fine-tune their ride for different wave types and styles.
Pros:
* Explosive speed and flow in small surf
* Round tail adds looseness and control in turns
* Versatile fin setups (tri, quad, or five fin)
* Can be ridden significantly shorter than a standard shortboard
Cons:
* Not designed for bigger or hollow waves
* Loose feel may be too skatey for surfers used to full-thruster control
Summary:
The Piglet is a refined, round-tailed ripper that brings the energy of the Pig 2 with a twist of added looseness and round-arc performance. A true small-wave weapon, this board offers the kind of speed and responsiveness that turns average days into sessions to remember. Ride it short, ride it fast—and prepare to be surprised by just how much fun this little board delivers.
