WATCH XANADU'S REVIEW >
 
The Xanadu X21 is a proven favorite among both aspiring and elite surfers, offering a high-performance design built for waves ranging from waist-high to well overhead. Designed with competitive surfing in mind—from W\.Q.S. to W\.C.T.—this board blends drive, speed, and control to create a reliable weapon for solid conditions. The X21 features a curvier entry rocker for smooth takeoffs and transitions, while the flatter exit rocker unleashes explosive speed. A deep single concave and added foam under the front foot give surfers a powerful engine, making the X21 one of the fastest and most drive-heavy boards in the Xanadu lineup.
Pros:
* Unmatched speed and drive thanks to its rocker and concave combo
* Great in a wide range of good wave conditions
* Volume under the front foot adds paddle power and stability
* A proven model among elite-level surfers
Cons:
* Best suited for decent to great waves—may overpower small or mushy surf
* Requires some skill to control at top speeds
Summary:
The Xanadu X21 is a speed-hungry shortboard built for surfers looking to maximize drive and performance in quality waves. With design features tailored for competition-level surfing, it’s a favorite among W\.C.T. riders and advanced surfers alike. Whether you're on tour or just chasing the best days at home, the X21 offers high-octane performance in a dialed-in, confidence-inspiring package.
