SHORT BOARDS

An instant classic, the Big Baron is inspired by the mid lengths that generations before us rode on the infamous Gold Coast points. This is paired with a more modern bottom contour and twin fin placement, then complemented by a neatly pulled in round tail for extra hold. Because on this board, you’ll be burning speed and burying rail. A lot of it.

An overall flat rocker generates and holds momentum in even the weakest conditions, while vee throughout the board from nose to tail with added double concave through the fins helps it rock from rail to rail and retain its manoeuvrability. The plan shape holds a generous distribution of volume throughout, with relatively low rails allowing you to still turn at high speed. The Big Baron excels in playful conditions from knee high to slightly overhead. And while short, sharp waves are not where its range of strengths are best used, it has the paddle power and ability to control speed that you’ll love in quality, longer waves. On points, reefs, or beach breaks with stretched out banks, the Big Baron takes the pressure off and lets you enjoy the downtime between turns, tubes or the typical sections other boards can get stuck chasing. And as a bonus, riding the Big Baron will naturally smooth out your surfing and translate almost immediately to the shorter, more high-performance boards that most of us want to ride when conditions (and mood) align. The Big Baron is designed to give a lot and only require a little in return. More time to set up and make adjustments, earlier and easier entry as you paddle in, and the ability to go further and stay out longer in whatever waves are on offer.

*Recommended fin choice – JS Twin Fin for Futures or FCSII Power Twin template (both pictured).

TEAM RIDER REFERENCE
The vast majority of surfers could ride almost any of the Big Baron’s stock dimensions. Start with a couple more liters than your regular board, then go as big as you like depending on the style of waves and surfing you’re intending. For example, someone with a longboard background might just step down to a 7’0” or 7’6”, while a surfer who only rides shortboards might go no longer than a 6’4” to retain plenty of maneuverability. And as you can see from Jason’s tech talk, Harry has done both to great effect depending on conditions and the approach he’s aiming for.

Features

GLIDE UP FRONT, DRIVE IN THE BACK.
The Bull Run is a step-down fun board that’s incredibly user friendly but still performance oriented, designed to be your go-to surfboard up to head high.

An alternative design to the rest of the boards in our range – the Bull Run is built for surfers who want a generous outline with a full nose, providing more stability, easier paddling and extra momentum down the line. These design features give it the advantages of a mid-length, yet in a more compact, manoeuvrable board.

While less extreme than our dedicated super grovellers, you’ll still be able to get plenty of volume hidden in a much shorter board than a Raging Bull. A low rocker complements its ability to generate and hold speed, with just enough curve to fit in tight pockets and hit sections hard.

Compared to the Raging Bull, it has a similar pulled in round tail to maintain drive and provide control. The main differences are its flatter rocker, deeper single to double concave for extra lift in weak conditions, and that wider nose area that Occ and JS loved so much throughout R&D.

The Bull Run balances forgiveness and performance, helping to unlock your best surfing across a range of conditions, fitness and ability levels.

BULL RUN

WAVE TYPE

Bull Run is designed primarily for flatter faced waves, with the full nose, flatter rocker and deeper concaves to easily gather speed and keep momentum in those weaker conditions. However due to its pulled in round tail, you’ll still have drive in more powerful sections and some surfers will use this as an all-rounder in most waves up to around head high.

Xero Gravity is the next in line of our favourite fusions ever. Ridden the same dimensions as your Monsta Box, with the same magic rocker, this will be your all-rounder even more geared to high performance surfing than the updated Xero, which in comparison has the slightly flatter Blak Box rocker and a fuller outline. Xero Gravity also features a similar foil to the previous Xero, with foam hidden in the deck, but a slightly pulled down rail that’s fine tuned for manoeuvrability & quick response.

We’ve streamlined the range while keeping all the nuance and specialised qualities you want to have a board model for every type of wave. Want a super groveller? That’s the Sub Xero. A more performance-oriented option to handle flatter conditions? That’s the new Xero, now even closer to your original Blak Box. And for a performance all-rounder – that’s right here, the Xero Gravity.

It’s our direct update on the board that won QS and CT events in the type of conditions we all surf every day. And it was voted the Australian board of the year back-to-back, due to overdelivering in countless sessions for regular surfers in average to pumping waves. If the Monsta Box made you enjoy surfing more, Xero Gravity will send you to the moon.
