The Xanadu Triple X brings gun-like performance to a shorter, more versatile platform—ideal for surfers tackling slabs, ledges, and heavy barrels. By incorporating key features from big-wave guns into a shorter outline, the Triple X delivers unmatched hold, control, and confidence in critical conditions.
The wide point is pushed forward, improving paddle power and early wave entry, while the pulled-in tail ensures that the board grips the face in steep drops and holds strong under the lip. This design makes it perfect for sneaking into late drops and threading through tight barrel sections. Despite its shorter length, the board feels extremely stable underfoot, with the drive and hold you'd expect from a step-up or semi-gun.
Pros:
* Incredible hold and control in hollow, powerful waves
* Forward wide point improves paddle power and wave entry
* Pulled-in tail adds confidence in steep and fast conditions
* Compact design makes it more maneuverable than a full gun
Cons:
* Too much board for small or soft waves
* Built specifically for heavy, critical surf—overkill for everyday conditions
Summary:
The Xanadu Triple X is a weapon for serious surfers looking to charge slabs, reefs, and hollow beach breaks. With the stability of a gun and the agility of a shortboard, it's made to hold in under pressure and deliver precision in the heaviest sections. If you're hunting barrels and need a board that won’t let you down when it matters most, the Triple X is your answer.
