THE LATEST UPDATE ON ONE OF OUR MOST LOVED SMALL WAVE WEAPONS EVER!

With a full nose, extra foam under the chest and a smooth, flat continuous rocker for easy acceleration and paddling speed, 2018’s Psycho Nitro is the latest update on one of our all-time favourite small wave weapons! Now available in HYFI, the extra flex and pop allowed by our new tech matches up with the Psycho Nitro’s already insane grovelling ability to make an incredibly fast, light board that will give you the absolute best chance to enjoy weak conditions. For this year, we’ve also eliminated the flyer, pulled in the swallow tail a touch more, and deepened the concaves. This complements the Psycho Nitro’s other features by providing a lively rail-to-rail feel that’ll have you drawing lines in average (or even terrible) waves that simply aren’t possible on other boards!

WAVE TYPE

Best performance of PSYCHO NITRO will be in average to fun waves between 1 and 4 feet. PSYCHO NITRO has been tried and tested world wide in everything from hollow 3 – 5 feet to full 1-2 feet onshore waves.

FEATURES

• Rocker: PSYCHO NITRO has overall low to flat rocker. This is the perfect all-round rocker for creating speed and glide in small to fun conditions.
• Fin setup: PSYCHO NITRO comes stock as a five fin and will work equally well as a quad or thruster depending on the conditions. Alternative setups are available with custom orders.
• Glassing specs: HYFI construction
• Rail type: PSYCHO NITRO has full rails to reduce catch in less than favourable conditions.

CONCAVE

PSYCHO NITRO features a slight rolled vee through nose, running into a single concave under the front foot through to a double concave forward of the fins with a slight vee out of the swallow tail. This design allows for easy manoeuvrability while still giving the board maximum lift and speed.

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. THE USER FRIENDLY ALL-ROUNDER.

Much loved by surfers around the world for the last eight years, we’ve set out to build a new board that does justice to the famous Blak Box DNA, which has always brought fun yet still exciting surfing to good, average and even terrible waves.

The success of our Monsta Box and Air 17X at the refined end of the X Series prompted JS to re-design our Blak Box to be even more suited to weak waves and surfers who don’t get their ideal choice of conditions day in, day out. It’s user-friendly, and it’s a must have to make the most of whatever window you have to get in the water each week.FEATURES

• Rocker: An overall low to flat rocker is the perfect all-round rocker creating speed and glide in small to average conditions.
• Fin setup: Blak Box 3 comes stock as a five fin and will work equally well as a quad or thruster depending on the conditions. Alternative setups are available with custom orders.
• Glassing specs: Boards 5'4" - 5'10" glassed standard with 4 x 2 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom. Boards 5'11" and up glassed standard with 4 x 4 oz deck x 4 oz. bottom (All sizes come standard with Hybrid Fibre tail strips).
• Rail type: Blak Box 3 has medium to low rails, reducing catch and increasing speed in and out of choppy or soft sections.

CONCAVE

BB3 features a single concave through the nose running into a double concave starting forward of the fins. This design directs water under your feet to maintain lift, speed and manoeuvrability.

OUR FAVOURITE FUSION TO DATE

Our favourite fusion of all time, the Monsta Box combines all the best parts of our much loved Monsta and Blak Box models. It falls right in the middle as a perfectly balanced daily driver that you can rely on to grovel whenever necessary, but also enjoy some of the most fun & rippable conditions imaginable.

The new Monsta Box 2020 has more rocker and a narrower outline than the Blak Box 3, while it's fuller and flatter than the Monsta 2020. This gives it well blended curves to hide foam where you need it, without getting in the way of performing at a high level. A smooth single to double concave with a touch more depth creates lift in sub-par conditions, but allows you to remain in control when the waves turn on.

Whoever you are, the Monsta Box over delivers in several crucial parts of almost all surfer’s year round quivers. It’s the step down our Traktor Team use when the conditions don’t quite call for a Monsta. It’s the go-to when our friends who are lucky enough to surf every day want a performance board for smaller waves or less than pro abilities. And for the places and seasons that don’t get a lot of quality waves, it’s a forgiving option that will help you surf your best regardless of average conditions. The Monsta Box 2020 is our most popular hybrid, and now it’s better than ever.

SAME MAGIC, STEPPED DOWN

We built the Air 17 for Julian to push the limits in fun, everyday waves from the Sunshine Coast to Sydney and California. It’s a board that over delivers, whether he’s dropping 10s at the Australian Open in sloppy beachies, or throwing some of the biggest combos of the year at perfect Trestles. Now, to cover an even wider range of waves, while maintaining the same magic core design features, we’ve created the Air 17X to allow the fastest, most progressive surfing possible no matter what the conditions are like.

Shorter, wider and flatter than its Performer Series genesis, the Air 17X is the perfect step-down to maintain a shortboard’s performance advantages, while exaggerating your small wave abilities. Even faster off the mark and through flat sections, it has the same large sweet spot thanks to more foam redistributed under front foot and a flatter rocker through the middle. Soft, forgiving rails, deeper concaves and similar late curve in the nose and tail allow you to go anywhere you like in weaker conditions, with as much speed as possible. Our most high performance X Series board, the Air 17X is ridden an inch shorter than the Air 17, and it’s ready to take your absolute best surfing to an even wider range of tiny to average, fun waves.

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. THE USER FRIENDLY ALL-ROUNDER.

Much loved by surfers around the world for the last eight years, we’ve set out to build a new board that does justice to the famous Blak Box DNA, which has always brought fun yet still exciting surfing to good, average and even terrible waves.

The success of our Monsta Box and Air 17X at the refined end of the X Series prompted JS to re-design our Blak Box to be even more suited to weak waves and surfers who don’t get their ideal choice of conditions day in, day out. It’s user-friendly, and it’s a must have to make the most of whatever window you have to get in the water each week.

Our new Blak Box 3 is all about easy acceleration and glide, so to achieve this we’ve given it more planning area in the nose and extra foam under the chest. To control and play with all that speed, the wide point has also been moved forward, which creates a slightly straighter, pulled-in swallowtail. This provides a smooth rock and roll from rail to rail, giving you extra drive and angles of attack to choose from anywhere on a wave. With slightly lower rails to complement its updated outline, we recommend riding the BB3 at 1/16” thicker than your last Blak Box.

For the pros, this board is an exceptional step down to cover you on days that the surf would otherwise be less than inspiring. For the bros, it’ll be the go-to when those conditions are the only option you have.
