WATCH XANADU'S REVIEW >
 
The Xanadu Zany is a versatile high-performance shortboard designed to deliver trust, drive, and control across a variety of down-the-line wave types. With a flatter, more gradual entry rocker and smooth overall rocker curve, the Zany offers a stable, predictable ride that excels in clean point and reef setups—especially where the wave has horizontal push and room to draw out turns.
Its bottom contours begin with a flat entry, transitioning into a deep single concave through the middle and fins, before returning to flat in the last few inches of the tail. This creates strong down-the-line drive while maintaining control and stability through powerful maneuvers. The toned-down curves make it an approachable board for any style of surfer, offering consistent performance without requiring overly technical input.
Pros:
* Smooth, stable ride with excellent down-the-line projection
* Predictable and easy to surf for a wide range of abilities
* Single concave provides speed and flow, while flat tail exit adds control
* Ideal for long-running waves with horizontal push (e.g. Rincon, Snapper, Seaside Reef)
Cons:
* Not designed for small or weak beach breaks
* May not be as reactive in the pocket as boards with more aggressive curves
Summary:
The Xanadu Zany is a dependable, high-performance shortboard built for surfers who want a board they can trust in shoulder-high to overhead waves. Its balanced design offers smooth projection, solid rail engagement, and surprising pop in the pocket. Whether you're drawing out carves at a point break or surfing fast, down-the-line reef waves, the Zany delivers clean lines and consistent performance with minimal fuss. A great all-arounder for the surfer who values flow, predictability, and control.
