WATCH XANADU'S REVIEW >
 
The Xanadu Xank is like the dependable friend who always shows up and makes the most of any situation. Designed for everyday surf—particularly in conditions up to shoulder high—it’s a versatile, user-friendly shortboard that blends performance with reliability. While it might not have the flashiest features in the lineup, it delivers where it counts: paddle power, flow, and smooth, consistent surfing.
The Xank features a fuller nose and tail, making it easy to paddle and stable underfoot, while the flatter deck and fuller rails help it stay on top of the water and cruise through softer sections. The flowing single concave and wider tail block give it plenty of down-the-line drive and release, even when the waves aren’t pushing. The outline is smooth and refined, with just enough aggression in the tail to hold some bite for turns.
Recommended to be ridden 2–4 inches shorter and 1 inch wider than your standard shortboard, the Xank is perfectly tailored for mushy beach breaks and average days when you still want to surf with purpose.
Pros:
* Easy paddle and early wave entry
* Smooth flow with enough drive to carry through flat sections
* Fuller rails and flatter deck offer forgiveness and float
* Excellent all-arounder for small to shoulder-high surf
Cons:
* Lacks the ultra-refined sensitivity of a pro-level shortboard
* May feel a bit “safe” for surfers looking for aggressive performance
Summary:
The Xanadu Xank is an all-conditions daily driver that offers flow, paddle power, and predictability without sacrificing performance. It’s ideal for surfers who want a board that works when the waves are average—but still want to surf with confidence and style. Whether you're groveling or gliding, the Xank has your back like a trusted wingman.
