6’4 JS Industries Xero Gravity Carbotune – Easyrider

This is sale surfboard – Sale boards are last ofs, old stock, have minor blemishes or minor discolouration. Contact us if you require futher information before purchasing.

After six years of research and development, our 100% carbon construction ishere. We’ve tested dozens of different layups around the world from wave pools to the ocean, and have settled on the unanimous favourite from JS and the Traktor Team in all conditions. The aim was always for endurance and performance unlike anything seen before in surfboard construction, and now we’re here.

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.

About Carbotune:

The benchmark after making Formula 1 style surfboards for 25 years is all about getting the balance of weight and durability into a board that will perform better than ever. Were using all of that documented data on what is the optimal weight for each number of litres, for each surfer, and the type of surfing that they do. All of that has gone into making sure these CarboTune boards come out at those ideal specs. Its a finely tuned balance for weight and durability to equal the performance we want. What the construction comes back to is a relatively simple formula: Weight & Durability = Performance. Thats why its taken 6 years these elements have finally come together with the ideal balance for any surfboard made in CarboTune to both perform and last.

Carbon maximizes the weight to stiffness ratio of a surfboard, and provides you with a craft that efficiently turns power into speed. Translated for surfers and shapers – carbon provides an instant transfer of energy. So everything you put into it, CarboTune will give you back. Response will be immediate to any power directed to the board from the surfer or wave. This means that both angles and weight of carbon layups play a huge role in the R&D process and decision making on the boards construction. The weight of our actual carbon fibre cloth used is lighter than all other carbon we tested throughout R&D. Its also lighter than the carbon fibre cloth used in most other surfboard constructions available around the world.

Weve decided on this exact weight for better flex, while the finished overall weight of the board is still optimised for maximum momentum and projection. Weve found that this ideal overall weight is close to our pro level team weight in a PU board. For example, a 510 / 28.6L CarboTune Xero Gravity is 2.4kg / 5.3lbs, and a PU pro team board at the same dimensions & volume is usually 2.5kg / 5.5lbs.

HOW ARE CARBOTUNE BOARDS CONSTRUCTED?

1. It begins with an EPS core. No stringer.

2. Carbon fibre cloth is assembled to wrap the entire exterior, precision engineered using the exact same angle and weight in each layer that we settled on throughout R&D as the ideal combination for durability and flex.

3. Carbon fibre cloth is applied with a vacuum-bagging production technique to ensure consistency in lamination. This technique is something we have developed & refined throughout the manufacturing of our HYFI construction boards since 2015.

4. A new generation clear epoxy resin is used throughout lamination, chosen for its excellent bonding characteristics with carbon fibre. Epoxy adheres to the carbon fibres to improve the composite materials strength, durability, and chemical resistance. It also provides high resistance to UV light, preventing discolouration.

5. An automotive clear coat is used to finish each CarboTune board, sealing everything to ensure the cleanest possible watertight surface.

About JS Surfboards:

In recent times JS industries has become one of the most known and respected names in the world of performance surfboards. Jason Stevenson (founder, owner and shaper) has built the company from ground up and his talents and love of surfing have gained him global recognition and some strong relationships with a world class team of loyal surfers. The iconic Traktor logo has been found under the feet of a huge number of elite surfers over the years including four World Champions and many more top 32 contenders. JS’s work coming into 2018 is at its absolute best, with the designs encompassing all of the innovations and improvements developed by the team and World Champions over the past half decade. We are incredibly excited for the future of surfing and JS will be there to see it progress!
