KINGPIN! A NEW ERA OF SHORTBOARD

Monday, June 21, 2010

This is the beginning to a new era in performance shortboards. The most adaptable and advanced x-series board that we've ever made.. If you've only got room for 1 board this is it. Be checking back on this page cause theirs more to show you on the KP.

i was in bali and saw parko and js riding this board,it looked amazing,i want one

micko from vico commented on 21-Jun-2010 08:11 PM

is the board parko riding the same board that is saw JS riding at 6 ft deserts ,i'm pretty sure it was a quad.
who is stocking them in OZ

JS commented on 22-Jun-2010 07:39 AM

Hey Micko,yeah mate the board i rode at deserts was a kingpin, went amazing the quad went really good in the barrel, so fast. were building stock at the moment so stores should see them in about 4 weeks.

PC commented on 23-Jun-2010 05:28 AM

what fins should i ride in this i notice jp talk about as a quad ,it sounds like this board goes in everything if it has been ridden at deserts as well,thats a pretty sweet wave

JS commented on 23-Jun-2010 11:24 AM

Hi PC,
so far the quad has worked best at speed, ie in barrels and open faces. if you want to surf vertical then the thurster set up is the go. JS

pc commented on 23-Jun-2010 07:59 PM

thanks js i work in california a fair bit will it be good for those crappy summer waves

dt commented on 25-Jun-2010 08:27 AM

i was about to order a cv8 bit now i also like the look of the kingpin which would be better for fuller faced ( victorian ) waves in the 3-5 ft range ?

Ed commented on 26-Jun-2010 01:35 AM

Will you be making these as a custom option bro or just as standard stock for the stores? What sort of size range bro? Look mean!!

Geezee commented on 26-Jun-2010 12:10 PM

This board looks siiick, would be good for this summer's waves...where in southern cali can i get one???

Nike Air Rift commented on 26-Jun-2010 12:54 PM

Like your website quite a lot, not simply due to the fact with the articles and other content, however the view of you on the society. Thank you for sharing.

JS commented on 29-Jun-2010 03:27 PM

hey Ed, custom kingpins will be available as long as you stick close to the stock sizes. making them thinner or thicker is no problem. the stock sizes on the site are as a suggestion and also what you would find stock in store.
JS

JS commented on 29-Jun-2010 03:31 PM

hey Geezee, check out the 'Where to Buy' option at the top of the page. go to west coast of the USA and look for your nearest store. if there is nothing close let me know.
JS

dave commented on 01-Jul-2010 08:25 PM

which board will surf more vertically
(thruster like) as a quad the kingpin or the vx5

JS commented on 02-Jul-2010 08:11 AM

Hi Dave,
the kingpin will surf more like a standard board compared with the VX5. the VX5 being a vee bottom with more a fish style outline will surf slightly more flat. Kingpin is the go.

orbit commented on 04-Jul-2010 04:34 PM

hi js im 6'4" and 85k
and i surf pretty ordinary.. how big would i order one

JS commented on 05-Jul-2010 05:56 PM

Yeah Orbit, pauly reckons all seaford board riders rip? so I assume your being modest. im thinking either the 6'1 or 6'2.
JS

Dave commented on 17-Jul-2010 08:53 PM

Will this become available in the epoxy carbon rail style as well? I have seen the nitro in this and it looks and feels sick.

Santa Cruz commented on 20-Jul-2010 06:23 AM

When will these be in the shops in Santa Cruz? Is custom order the only way to get one?

JS commented on 20-Jul-2010 02:18 PM

Kingpin stock is getting made at the moment. it should be in store in Santa Cruz in a few weeks. you can also custom order if you like. JS

josh commented on 21-Jul-2010 05:47 PM

hi i surf bondi waves and im 5'5 and 50 kg what is the bast board to buy for me considering the small waves i surf

Ryan commented on 22-Jul-2010 12:04 PM

Hi JS the Kingpin looks sick. trying to decide between the parko 6'1 signature or the 5'9 Kingpin. I mostly surf small below average Perth waves so guessing kingpin is the better option. any advice would be much appreciated

JS commented on 26-Jul-2010 05:07 PM

hi Josh,
without knowing your ability id suggest the 5'6 Kingpin. if you are an advanced surfer then you could ride a 5'4 or 5'5.

JS commented on 26-Jul-2010 05:13 PM

Hi Ryan, id go for the Kingpin for sure. you will have much more fun in the majority of perth conditions and if the surf does get good they still go great. check out your nearest Star Surf store . JS

nico commented on 28-Jul-2010 12:48 PM

hey js, i'm 6.0 per 72kg,ordinary surfer, wich sized i shuold ride the kingpin? gracias hermano

JS commented on 05-Aug-2010 01:22 PM

Hi Nico,
id suggest you ride a 5'10 kingpin.

Kev commented on 07-Aug-2010 07:56 PM

Im 5'6" 66 kg. My last js was a 6'0" combat, been riding other shorter boards for the last 6 months or so but am really excited by the kingpin & keen to get back on a js, what size do you recommend?

Kev commented on 07-Aug-2010 08:11 PM

And also would you ride a blakbox the same length as a kingpin, & which would be more vestitile?
Thanks

wade commented on 08-Aug-2010 12:23 PM

hey, JS im 6'0"and 82kg i was wondering which kinpin i should get the 5'10" or the 5'11" i surf a fair few beachies and point breaks and i am so keen on the idea of the kingpin also im thinking of getting the k-3 quad fin set up with 5 fins what do you recomened??
cheers

Glen MacManus commented on 11-Aug-2010 08:17 AM

Hey JS,

What is the purpose of the mini flyer in the tail of the King Pin, is it to make the board looser? I've been riding Bourton round tail quads for the past 2 years which are extremely responsive, how would the King Pin differ than those? I saw one at Kirra Surf, great looking board.

Cheers,

Glen.

Todd Horton commented on 12-Aug-2010 01:03 AM

Hey JS - As an ex-professional from California since I have been riding your boards I feel re-born. Thank you! I have the 5'11 18 1/4 2 1/4 Parko which was my go to in all conditions until I rode the Blak Box (5'8 19 1/2 2 1/4) in smaller surf and have to say it is the fastest most responsive board I have ever ridden. What board should I get next to get the speed and drive of the Blak Box with a bit more hold for the larger days? I am 5'7 165lbs. Thanks!

Julian Herm commented on 12-Aug-2010 08:18 PM

Hey JS,I love your work i have to say, i´m 6´0 and 102kg i got 6´6 300kw and a Jordy 6´3-19 a month ago i was keen to trade my CI Pod6´2 20 3/4 2 5/8 in to get a Blak Box as replacement to surf a more modern summer board shape but now i saw the king pin and i´m confused.Is the only difference the Quad fins!i´m a intermediate to advanced surfer what would you recommend i was looking at the 6´2 Blak box or the 6´2 -6´3 kingpin.
Thanks Julian (Perth)

JS commented on 13-Aug-2010 12:29 PM

Hey KEV,
id suggest a 5'6 blak box or a 5'8 Kingpin. the Kingpin is alittle more verstile suited to more all round waves.
JS

JS commented on 13-Aug-2010 12:32 PM

Hey WADE,
i d suggest the 5'11. i think it would be spot on for you. Im sure the K3 setup will work fine. keep an eye out for the new quad set in the KR fin range im doing now. that will suit it perfect. www.kinetikracingco.com

JS commented on 13-Aug-2010 12:36 PM

Hey GLEN,
the mini flyers are there just to pull the tail in slightly so it doesnt have too much area. without them the tail would be too wide, it would go straight good but not much else. the biggest difference between mine and the Bourtons is the Kingpin will go way better.....
JS

Glen MacManus commented on 13-Aug-2010 01:22 PM

JS,

Do you guys have demos of the King Pin the Gold Coast. I think a 6'2' would be equivalent in volume to what I am currently riding.

Thanks,

Glen.

Kev commented on 14-Aug-2010 06:22 PM

Will futures fin boxes or fcs fusion be avaliable in the kingpin, would this require a custom order?

tony commented on 15-Aug-2010 04:17 PM

hey j.s i am 6'2 85 kg i ride a 6'4 retro fish, average performer. looking at either kingpin or nitro. what would you recommend?
cheers thanks for your time.. tony

Ed commented on 26-Aug-2010 04:45 AM

Hey JS meant to ask last time man, how do you go about ordering a custom board and for the Kingpin with a spray from the gallery about what cost? Thinking 6'1 x 19.5 x 2 5/8. That do-able? Cheers Dude.

JS commented on 27-Aug-2010 06:27 PM

Kev, stock board will be standard FCS setup, if you would like the fusion system or Futures you will have to custom order. JS

JS commented on 27-Aug-2010 06:29 PM

hey GLEN, what length are you currently riding and what is your height, weight etc?? JS

JS commented on 27-Aug-2010 06:34 PM

Hey TONY, I would say the Kingpin would be the better transition board coming from a 6'4 retro fish. Its suitable in all conditions so you can't go wrong. Retro fishes are usually much wider, so depending on your current dimensions you don't want to stray too far from what your used to. I'd say 6'1 or 6'2 would be fine. JS

Mike commented on 28-Aug-2010 06:27 AM

JS you must have the patience of a saint....all these questions!!! One thing I would say though is can you stop making all these new models. I have a JS Jordy Smith model and was looking at getting a Nitro, then the Blak Box came out so was going to get that instead now the Kingpin!!!! My head is spinning :-)

kev commented on 28-Aug-2010 11:35 AM

JS, how about adding the volumes of the boards to the sizing charts.

JS commented on 01-Sep-2010 05:01 PM

Hey KEV,
fusion plugs will have to be custom order for sure. thanks mate

Chip commented on 10-Sep-2010 04:25 AM

Hey JS,
Looking for a 5'10" kingpin, 6'0 or 6'1" Bruce or Parko model and a 6'3"or 6'4 step up. I live in Kona on the Big Island, Hawaii. I called Surf and Sea on OAHU and they had no stock and didn't seem to eager to order. Any thoughts?

jim commented on 14-Sep-2010 02:39 PM

hey js,
I'm riding a 5'10 blakbox and love it!! I'm about 5'10 and 168 lbs poor paddler. what dims would you suggest for a kingpin? 5'11 or 6'0"? where can I order custom in southern cal?

cheers,
jim

JS commented on 14-Sep-2010 04:04 PM

Hi JIM - Great to hear about your BlakBox. Our teamriders are generally riding their Kingpins 1 inch longer than their BlakBoxes, except for Occy who rides a 5'11 in both. I suggest the 5'11. Contact our West Coast agent Steve: stevemeidroth@msn.com - He will be able to direct you to the right store or provide you with a stocklist. Cheers JS

Mike commented on 17-Sep-2010 05:53 AM

Hi, I have just missed out on a 5'11 Blak Box here in the UK so I'm looking for an alternative model. What would you suggest for UK waves 0-3ft? I'm not after a fishy type board but a high performance board for sloppy/small conditions. As far as I can see there's the Nitro/V2.1/VX5???
Cheers!!

JS commented on 17-Sep-2010 08:25 AM

Hi MIKE, thats a shame you missed out on the Blak Box, but all the other boards are equally as fun. I would suggest to you the Nitro, you would ride it the same length as the Blakbox, so in your case the 5'11. It is suggested for waves 0-3 ft however I have ridden mine in 4ft surf with bigger front fins and it goes a treat. Cheers JS

Rian commented on 20-Sep-2010 11:03 AM

Hey JS, I am just purchsing a couple of new boards from you guys and have bought 6'0 Bruce for my standard shortboard and a VX5 for a small day performance fish. My question is do you think the VX5 would be the most performance style fish for up to 3-4 ft in your range. I usually ride a RNF 5'6 and have gone for the same dimensions on the VX5...or would you recommend something else?

Ed commented on 21-Sep-2010 06:41 AM

Hey JS
Sent you guys an email on the contact you have on the site - not sure if it got through though as has been a while - was to do with ordering a custom board - is there an e-mail address for guys I can try? Cheers.

E-man commented on 23-Sep-2010 08:28 AM

Hey JS Ive been riding a 6'8 300kw and a 7'0 SG both 19.5 x 2.75 in the Country and love them. Best board ever. I am 6'3" 215 - 220. Wanted to try the Kingpin. Does the standard 6'4" 20.5 x 2.75 sound about right?

E-man commented on 23-Sep-2010 08:32 AM

Wanted a groveler, was thinking about the Black Box, maybe the 6'3 or 6'4? what do u think. Probably surf it in town, and small country like Lani's and Mokes. Thanks

JS commented on 23-Sep-2010 09:41 AM

Hey E-Man, stoked you liking your boards man. I think your definitely on the money with the 6'4 Kingpin, as for the groveller you can drop one inch from Kingpin to BlakBox so I'd recommend the 6'3 BB, perfect in anything up to 3ft. Cheers mate -JS

ben commented on 05-Oct-2010 07:17 PM

hi JS, what size would you suggest in the kP? I'm 5'10.5" 65kg, generally surf beach's on nsw coast. Been surfing about 15yrs. Just picked up demo 5'10" but probably looking at 5'8"(no demos). Haven't riden 5'10" demo yet. Cheers ben

Zak Maxx commented on 13-Oct-2010 08:43 AM

Hey, I was just wondering when ur gonna ship these boards to the east coast of Florida?

Nick commented on 02-Nov-2010 08:49 AM

Hey JS,

I've been riding the BlakBox all summer and it's sick!
But I am moving to Costa Rica for six months in January and my standard shortboard recently deceased so I need to pick one up before I go and I can't decide between a 6'1" kingpin, a 6'3" jordy, or a 6'3" konfusion? I'll be bringing a 6'1" Blakbox and a 6'6" step as well. What do you think would be best? Thanks

Nick commented on 02-Nov-2010 08:57 AM

--Im 6'2" 88kg

thanks again

Dave commented on 04-Nov-2010 07:31 PM

Hi JS, I am thinking of getting a Kingpin as an all round board. I currently have a 6,0 Firewire spitefire but wanted something with a little more performance potential. I am 5,9 and weight about 83kgs. what are your thoughts on sizing for myself, and will this board give me a little more performance?

JS commented on 11-Nov-2010 10:46 AM

Hi Dave - yeah for sure mate. The Kingpin is much more pulled in in the tail than the spitfire, the spitfire also has a really wide outline restricting you from getting high performance out of the board. The kingpin has enough foam in the deck and rails to give you the stability and paddling speed. Cheers JS

Pete Finlan commented on 11-Nov-2010 02:41 PM

Hey JS i'm 6'3 95kg looking at getting either a Kingpin or a Luke Egan, im riding a 6'3 x 19 1/4 x 2 1/5 shortboard at the moment but doesn't feel like enough volume, what would you recommend? Im looking for something to take out in all conditions, perfect to dribbly sydney shit. thanks mate.

JS commented on 11-Nov-2010 02:51 PM

Hi Pete - The Luke range is still not as chunky as the board you are riding, if you were set on Luke you can definintely tweak the dimensions a bit but to be totally honest given that you are a bigger guy and for Sydney beachies I would definintely recommend the Konfusion model. All our local heavy powerful surfers are loving the Konfusion and it really is the perfect allrounder. The foam distribution is different to the Luke and all other models as it maintains its thickness across the deck, giving more volume. Any other questions let me know. Cheers JS

Pete Finlan commented on 11-Nov-2010 06:47 PM

Hey JS thanks for the quick reply mate - Yeah im basically looking for an all rounder with a lot of volume in the front end of the board (shorter but wider). what measurements in the Konfusion model would you recommend for me being a bigger boy (6'3 around 97 kgs) And getting back to the Kingpin - how does the pin tail go in mushy sydney trash? Cheers mate!

Barrelli commented on 12-Nov-2010 01:46 PM

Hi, I'm about the same height and weight as Pete (i'm 94-95 kgs dry) and i have a 6'2 Kingpin. I find it has heaps of buoyancy for me and is really fast. I have surfed it in waves from 1 - 5 ft. Ive found that it really performs well in all conditions but really excels when the waves are firing.

des commented on 13-Nov-2010 06:54 AM

am 6'3 205lbs 60 yrs ride 6'2 fish to 6'6 short in smaller wvs.what size kingpin do you think for santa cruz?

Tom commented on 14-Nov-2010 03:34 PM

Hey JS, I'm riding a 5'10 blakbox(jordy model) and I really like it! I'm about 6'0 and 78kg. I really like the looks of the kingpin. So should I get maybe 5'10 or 5'11?what do you think?
Thanks for the reply!

JS commented on 17-Nov-2010 09:44 AM

Hi Pete,

I would be steering you into a Konfusion 6'3 - it is giving you a little more thickness (2.5) to contend with the Sydney mush. The Konfusion is the current team favourite - myself and all the boys are loving it!!!!

JS commented on 17-Nov-2010 09:53 AM

Hello Des,

a 6'4 Kingpin would be the way to go - it sounds like a good option for what you are currently riding, plus it has the option to play around with fin structure.

Cheers
JS

JS commented on 17-Nov-2010 10:00 AM

Hi Tom,

I think a 5'11 Kingpin would be ideal - the Blak Box has more volume, so you can go slightly bigger (1 to 2")
with the KP.

Love your work,
JS

Jordan commented on 19-Nov-2010 09:28 AM

Hi JS im 6'3 and weigh about 94kgs just curious as to what size kingpin you'd reco for me? usually ride a 6'3 x 19 1/4 x 2.5 shorty. cheers man luv ya work!

JS commented on 19-Nov-2010 03:13 PM

Hey JORDAN - I would definintely be recommending the 6'1 or 6'2 in the Kingpin. You'll find the 6'1 is rather close to your current dimensons but you have to keep in mind there is a bit more volume in the rail and added volume in the tail area too. I'd say the 6'1 mate. Good luck JS

haydn fraser commented on 26-Nov-2010 02:39 PM

Hey JS i currently have a mini mau and im looking at getting a second board as i want a new board thats faster and snappier and more responsive. I live in the bay of islands in new zealand and im 6ft and 80 kgs and cant decide between the black box or the kingpin for my next board and just wondering if you could help? that would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Tyler commented on 01-Dec-2010 02:53 AM

JS-I am loving the mini-quiver I have built in the last six monthes consisting of a 6'1 Konfusion, 5'10 Kingpin, and 5'9 Blakbox. Theres almost a board for every condition lately. Was looking at 5'6 Sonic the other day, but also have seen that the Buried Treasure is on its way. Any idea of when those will be hitting the racks in So Cal, US? BTW, I took my Konfusion to the points in S. Mexico and it went so insane in those waves.

Ondrej commented on 15-Dec-2010 04:51 AM

JS,
I am an average surfer (have been surfing for 10 years now on frequent basis) and recently had to move from Sydney to Italy. My standard shortboard is a D Handley 6'2''x18 1/2x2 1/4 with a squash tail and I have been generally happy with this. I am now looking into trying something a little different - more universal with 1 - a bit more paddle power when the waves are not pushy enough (mediterranian crap) and 2 - something that will give me a different feel than my standard shorty in both crappy and good waves between zero and 6 feet. The Kingpin looks like exactly what I have been looking for. I was thinking of getting it in 5'11'' but am a bit hesitant about going out on a 4-6 foot day on a 5'11'' board. Just wanted to ask you for advice…is this the right board (or should I be thinking more blak box or burried treasure)? Is 5'11'' the right size or would you go a little longer? I am 6'1'' and 80kgs so pretty standard…Thanks a lot for your help!
Ondrej

Phil commented on 29-Dec-2010 07:53 AM

Hey JS I live in Auckland NZ, so I get a wide range of waves, from epic points, to beaches and reefs ranging in size from 1-8 foot usually. I am looking for a good all around short board that will suit most conditions. I usually ride between a 6'-6'2" 18 1/4 X 2 1/4 (roughly). I have a nice mini gun, so when its over 6 foot I have it covered. Was looking at the Kingpin. Would this be a good board for me?, and what size. Im 5'8" and 73kg. Would greatly appreciate your help mate. Cheers. I like the Idea of a quad, never surfed one before!

JB commented on 09-Jan-2011 04:34 PM

Jason,Hi i am 56years old and surfing since i was 14, i'm 81kg's.I ride a 6'2" fish design and a 6'6"swallowtail,i was thinking i would maybe get my next new board 2 3/4" thick to get into waves more easily and get more of them .I normally like swallowtails but the Kingpin looks very interesting .Could one be a good starting point as my normal board(if so which one?) and maybe a fish or something and some thing for bit bigger waves(what would you recommend for these 2 and what lengths).I live on the Goldcoast and am doing a boat trip in the Mentawais this year ,can't wait to hear from you,many thanks ,JB.

Hi , is there any kingpin aviable in france ? or europe ?thanks

Maz commented on 19-Jan-2011 07:34 AM

What a board! Got my Kingpin a few weeks ago, and thought I'd share my newfound wisdom with those considering getting one.
FWIW, I'm 6'1 x 77-80kg. I got the 6'1 thinking it'd have more range, and not knowing how much volume it actually had (took a punt and bought one off the web). This is no skinny little wafer, it's got heaps of float, and I could have gone smaller, but am happy with the length. Have surfed it mostly in a 3/2 steamer and I stroke into waves with ease. Perfect day at my local yesterday, and the board shone in 4-5ft waves. I wish JS would make a step up version :o)
Highly bloody recommended!

Dan commented on 27-Jan-2011 10:48 AM

Hi JS. I'm bang up for a Kingpin but am stuck between a 6'1" and a 6'2". I'm approx 90kgs, 6ft and coming off a 6" CI Pod. Loved the Pod, was just the right size but am smitten with the Kingpin set up. My ordinary short board size would be 6'4" but I tend not to us it - I go from my small wave board straight to a step up. So, what do you reckon size wise for me? Both sizes feel ace under the arm but am conscious the 6'2" has a good amount more foam than the 6'1". Any wise words of wisdome would be appreciated. Many thanks

Chris H commented on 28-Jan-2011 10:27 AM

Hi JS. Just wondering if you could tell me what fins JP is using in the clip for the KP. Looks like the front fins are his signature fins just wondering what the rear fins are. Thanks

chris commented on 14-Feb-2011 08:39 PM

hey JS, im 5'11 and currently riding a 6'1 18/1/4 2/3/16 normal shorty. Real keen on a kingpin but wanting to know what standard dimentions to go for. could also be keen on a blak box but can you tell me which would more suit more vertical turns more speed! cheers!!

chris commented on 14-Feb-2011 08:56 PM

waves size also from 1-4foot thanks

PB commented on 01-Mar-2011 12:32 PM

answer your e-mails on the king pin please Jason as I am interested in purchasing one king pin,please,I know your a busy lad

JS commented on 01-Mar-2011 02:09 PM

Dan, Go the 6'1 mate. Theres so much life in these boards! you wont need to rely on foam to get you round. JS

JS commented on 01-Mar-2011 02:22 PM

Chris H, That is the winning combination of all the fins we tried (and we tried alot) they are LE-3 fronts and KR proto trailers - From that we made the current KR X4. Should be available most store that sell our boards. JS

JS commented on 01-Mar-2011 02:29 PM

Chris, I would recommend the 5'10 in both kingpin and blak box. Kingpin will definatly give you the most speed without much effort and variety from its fin setup but blak box probably has more performance characteristics. JS

JS commented on 01-Mar-2011 02:30 PM

Is this helping PB? Leme know if there's anything specific.. JS

FR commented on 03-Mar-2011 04:11 PM

whe need a js dealer in mexico i have to go to u.s.a to get js boards but i love them
thank you very much

JS commented on 06-Mar-2011 07:36 AM

FR, Sounds like a blak box 5'10 would suit you. Its pretty much the go to board for Bruce, Jack and Parko on the little days. Glad to hear the bruce works well too. JS

Hi JS, luv your boards. i have a Nitro and it rips. Could i ask Why the Nitro is listed as holding 3ft, but the Buried Treasure is up to 4ft? I would have thought the Nitro had a better outline etc.

Thanks
David

JS commented on 07-Mar-2011 02:18 PM

cheers Dave, thanks for pointing that out, there defiantly the wrong way round. Buried treasure is our absolute groveler up to 3 foot. Nitro can handle bit better waves. JS

David Streek commented on 07-Mar-2011 02:57 PM

thanks JS! I am thinking of the Buried treasure for my quiver as well. I am 5"10 @ 77kg, Surfing mostly beachies. i am thinking of a 5"11" or 6'0.
Do you think the 1/8" and the 1/16" makes a huge difference to these 2 lengths?
thanks again.

David

Dan commented on 10-Mar-2011 03:55 PM

Hey JS, thanks for your tip. I ended up going with a the 6'2" Kingpin and absolutely love it! A little bit of extra foam under the man belly helps a heap. And had it out in some nice 4fts and it rocked! Good work Dan

PB commented on 11-Mar-2011 02:34 PM

Blak Box - The New Board Model from JS Industries

Thursday, March 25, 2010

Parko took a new board for a surf at Snapper this week, and he was all over it! "This is one of the fastest small wave boards around!" he said when he came back into the factory to give JS the run down " I love it!". Check out Parko's form in this clip, and get set to order a Blak Box for yourself.

Comments

Gus commented on 21-Apr-2010 12:05 PM

What was the size Parko is riding in the clip? I'm about same size and weight...looks sick.

JS commented on 21-Apr-2010 12:42 PM

Parko rides a 5'8 x 19 1/2 x 2 1/4

Michael commented on 24-Apr-2010 01:16 PM

What are the main differences between the new Blak Box and the Nitro? I love the Nitro for small waves, so I am just wondering whether to switch when it is time to replace it.

adam commented on 05-May-2010 05:34 PM

im 6 feet tall and 85kg what size do you think would be the go?

Ross commented on 06-May-2010 04:29 AM

I'm 6'0 and about 155. What size would you recommend for me. Also, where can I get a Blak Box in Florida or where can I order one online at?

JS commented on 06-May-2010 08:37 AM

6 foot and 85kg....try a 5'11 or 6'0 my friend. we generally say to ride them 4 inches shorter than your normal shortboard.

JS commented on 06-May-2010 08:38 AM

6 foot and 155 pounds... you might want to look at a 5'10.. you are tall but lean, so I think this is a good option.

PIT Surf Shop commented on 18-May-2010 07:37 AM

If you need any of the new JS models in Florida we have them... Blak Boxes on the way!

nate commented on 01-Jun-2010 08:09 PM

love the new board

john commented on 11-Jun-2010 09:50 AM

What do u recommend for small rampy beach break; the nitro or the blak box?

sean commented on 21-Jun-2010 07:32 PM

I ride a vx5 as a thuster,what differences will i find between the vx5&blak box?

Stephen orr commented on 21-Jul-2010 04:02 PM

JS! I just bought a 6'2 " parko signature board here in kirra, awesome board, took a big drop in size for me but is the right size for my height and weight (6ft, 71kg) Cant decide between tha Black box or the King pin right now, any advice on which to go for first and size's? It's for riding on the goldie and I'm still kinda a begginer. Bye the bye, Thanks for an awesome board dude

josh commented on 21-Jul-2010 05:38 PM

im 5'5 and 50 kg what size board sould i go for

Deej commented on 16-Aug-2010 05:35 PM

I'm also unsure of the main differences between a VX5 and a Blak Box. Can you please help by defining the characteristics/differences of each in comparison JS?

james commented on 21-Aug-2010 01:54 PM

hi, just bought a 5'11 blak box, i'm 80kg and 6'3 , what fins would you recommend. i like the k3's on my short board.

Rob commented on 22-Aug-2010 11:59 AM

Going to give a 5'10 a whirl. What's the glass layup for the stock epoxy ones? Thanks in advance.

JS commented on 27-Aug-2010 11:38 AM

Stephen, sorry for the delay. Stoked to hear you enjoy your Jordy, the boys at KS know their stuff. If you want a board thats suitable for most conditions thrown at you then I would say go the Kingpin, we usually say drop 3-4 inches but as you are semi beginner you would only want to drop around 2-3 inches, however as you are only light I would say a 5'11". This gives you the option of 3 fin or quad setup and holds up in size, whereas the BlakBox is predominately for smaller sloppy conditions. Hit me back if you have any more Q's. Cheers

JS commented on 27-Aug-2010 12:55 PM

Josh, wow your super light buddy. Although we don't have a 5'4" listed in our BlakBox model plan, we do a 5'4 x 18 3/4 x 2 upon request

Andy commented on 27-Sep-2010 01:13 PM

Hey , i am 5'10 and 65kg what would u recommend? Cheers

jake commented on 14-Oct-2010 12:24 PM

Im 190cm and 80kg and was wondering what you would recommend for the most high performance size for me? i was thinking 6'1, though 2 1/2 seems fairly thick

JS commented on 14-Oct-2010 02:21 PM

Hey Jake - Thanks for your enquiry. We say to drop 4-6 inches, your ability level will really determine what length you go for - but given your height and weight I would be recommending the 5'10 for an intermediate to advanced surfer. Parko is the same weight as you but 2 inches shorter and he rides a 5'8, so I would say around the 5'10. Cheers JS

Mike commented on 19-Oct-2010 08:10 PM

Hey Jason

I`m 186cm - 88kg

hey just wondering what size for the blak box you would recommend for me, im 6'4 - 93kg. I was looking at the 6'3 one. would u agree? cheers

JS commented on 26-Oct-2010 08:16 AM

Hey Nick - it really depends on your ability level and what you are currently riding. If you get give me these details I can provide you with a more accurate answer. Cheers mate JS

Nick commented on 26-Oct-2010 07:48 PM

hey.im not like a high performance surfer, i mainly just cruise, no fancy stuff. im currently riding a 6'2 which is too thin for me though. thats why i want to get something a bit thicker.

Jay commented on 20-Nov-2010 09:14 AM

hey JS, i've got a 6'0" konfusion and love that board. it's new and have only been on 2' to 4' in Santa Cruz. i'm 5'11" and 167lbs 40yo intermediate surfer that surfs almost daily ... seems like a good size for me. what size BB do you recommend? also, i see mixed reviews on the BB some say it's good from 3' to 6' and i see your comments that it is 0 to 3', what gives? thanks for the info!

Kelsey commented on 21-Nov-2010 10:48 AM

Hey JS, I'm 5'8" and about 170 lbs, I was thinking the 5'10" black box? do you agree?

JS commented on 22-Nov-2010 11:30 AM

Hi Kelsey,

Without knowing your ability and/or the type of waves you are surfing, I would recommended the BB, but maybe look at the 5'8. These boards are normally ridden 3-4" shorted than your normal size.

Hope this helps
JS

Nick commented on 23-Nov-2010 02:40 PM

Hi JS, these boards have worked well for me: Al Merrick Pod, Xanadu Pig 2 (rode both in 5'8)Also for shorties the al merrick mx and k-board. Im 6'1 155lbs and i surf at a high level. was wondering which small wave board and thruster you would reccomend. Dimensions? My standard shorty is 6'2 18 5/8 2 3/8. thanks alot for your time

Matt commented on 24-Nov-2010 06:41 AM

Hi JS, I'm planning on getting a blakbox and I'm 5'8 , 65 kg. Just wondering what size board you think would fit me. Intermediate level surfer.

JS commented on 24-Nov-2010 09:43 AM

Hi Nick,

I would recommend a BlakBox 5'10 19 3/4 2 3/8 - the extra width will give you some versatility. Stoked you are having a look.

Regards, JS

JS commented on 24-Nov-2010 09:46 AM

Gday there Matt,

I would recommened sizing down 3-4" on your current board - what are you current riding?

Cheers, JS

Matt commented on 24-Nov-2010 03:26 PM

I'm on a 6'1 shortboard but probably going to get a 6'0 flyboy 2 pretty soon after the blakbox. Thanks!

JP commented on 25-Nov-2010 04:45 PM

hey JS, i'm on a 6'0" Konfusion and i'm 5'11" and 168lbs, intermediate skill level, what size Blak Box do you recommend? Thanks!

Kelsey commented on 28-Nov-2010 08:32 AM

Hows it goin JS!...I'm 5'8" 170 lbs and just bought the 5'10" Blackbox...so far i've surfed this board in 2-4 ft wind chop and 3-5 ft Laniakea on the North shore. BEST board ever. Suits my style of surfing perfectly. You da man JS!

J.R. Vera commented on 28-Nov-2010 09:08 AM

Aloha Jason. I am 6 foot 185 lbs. I have been riding a 5'8" x 20" x 2 1/2" JS Dyno. I love the board and it paddles great and it goes great in all types of small surf. I want to purchase a Blk Box from 5'8" to 5'11 but all of the boards this size are not 2 1/2" thick. I want to keep the thinkness with out going so long. I found one 6'0" x 20" x 2 1/2" but I would like one shorter. Do you plan on making any shorter and thicker? And if so where will we be able to purchase them here in the States? Thank you for all of your input JS and keeping all of us stoked on surfing with your magical boards! Mahalos JS!

Julien commented on 29-Nov-2010 12:40 AM

Hi JS, I'm currently seeking a new board for next summer and I just saw the Dyno has many great feedbacks. I live in France and surf in Hossegor (you may know the place). This part of France has excellent beach breaks, pretty hollow waves even during summer. I'm 6"2 and 80kg. What size of Dyno would you recommand ? Do you think it would suit summer french beack breaks waves ? Cheers for the feedback, hope i'll grab a JS soon!

jesse commented on 29-Nov-2010 08:43 PM

hey im about 5feet2 wat size board u recomend i was thinking about a 5'6 blak box do u recomend

fubot commented on 30-Nov-2010 11:41 AM

yo can you advise the right size Blak box...Im 6'3 and 93kgs, currently on a Jordy model (6'3 18 3/4 2 1/2) which rocks but lacks a bit of drive in the summer mush- tks for your time :)

Terril commented on 01-Dec-2010 11:44 AM

Hey there, I currently have a JS Nitro 6'2 but feel it may now be too wide/thick for my size/weight & now that I am progressing. May just be my lack of skills but seems to ride a bit high in the water/harder to turn compared to thinner boards I have recently tried & hard for me to duck dive deep enough? What would you recommend as my next board. I am 6ft & 68kg. Thanks

Matt commented on 02-Dec-2010 07:00 PM

JS- looks like I'm going with the blak box for sure and I was just wondering what sort of fins you'd recommend. I'd like to use it on mushier waves and some decent stuff in the chest, maybe shoulder high too. Would love to here your input

Charlie commented on 29-Dec-2010 10:20 PM

i am 15 weigh 130 lbs and trying to decide between a blackbox 5'8" and a mini. Any advice? i am an intermediate surfer mostly on sloppy 1-4 foot swells.

J.R. Vera commented on 18-Jan-2011 05:53 AM

Found the perfect Blak Box! 5'8" x 19 1/2" x 2 1/2" It goes so good! I can't believe the speed it hold through the slop! Unbelievable! Best board I have ridden! Thank you so much for keeping us stoked on surfing no matter how bad the conditions are JS! Your boards are truly amazing! Mahalos JS!

John commented on 22-Mar-2011 10:09 PM

Hi JS, I'm 5'10 and weigh 84kgs. I'm probably at the lower end of 'Advanced' level. Normal shortboard would be a 6'2.
I'm thinking a 5'10 Black Box is what I should be looking at. Would that be right? or should I be considering the 5'11?

Thanks!
John

JS commented on 24-Mar-2011 01:04 PM

Hi, John a 5'10 will be right by the sounds of it. There's slightly more volume in it that people seam to expect (for the better).JS

JS commented on 24-Mar-2011 01:28 PM

Roberto, Best fins will be KR BI-7 for sure. JS

Jake commented on 27-Mar-2011 09:05 AM

Hey JS,

so awesome that you personally answer questions here. I'm 5'10" 67kgs. I'm 35 and been surfing 6 years. intermediate ability. I don't generally surf thrusters unless it's good, then I ride a 6'2". mostly a 5'9" quadfish. and it wide (maybe too much so) at 20 1/4. I'm trying to decide between a 5'9 and 5'10 BB. Suggestions?

JS commented on 29-Mar-2011 08:38 AM

Jake, no problem.
I'm leaning towards 5'9 considering your weight and current boards. its a real good idea to go to a shop and put them under your arm for final decision. JS

Guilherme commented on 02-Apr-2011 07:15 AM

Hey JS. My everyday board is a 5'10 x 18 1/8 x 2 3/16. Im 5'7 tall and 66 kg. I was thinking about ordering a Blak Box 5'6 what do you think? Isn't 19 1/4 going to be too much for me? just asking because I'm gonna want the best performance possible out of this thing. Cheers.

Oliver Davis commented on 04-Apr-2011 01:16 AM

Hey JS, really thinking of a blak box to ride in the UK. I am 5'7" 63kg and usually ride a 6'1" x 18 7/8 " x 2 1/4. I find this board doesnt do much for me in our waves and only works in over 4ft-ish. I want something that'll be good for up to 4-5ft that i can use all year. What kinda measurements do you recommend? I want more width and volume like a fish.

Lee commented on 05-Apr-2011 09:54 AM

Charly commented on 31-Jul-2011 06:48 AM

Hey, JS! I'm thinking about a BlakBox as a board for the North Sea. Conditions are often pretty mushy and many times waves lack the power the bigger oceans. I'm 6'2 (around 80kg), now surfing a CI Pod 6'0 (quad version) and sometimes a 5'8 Biscuit. I'm
not afraid of a little more volume, because I surf most sessions in a 6mm wetsuit. So which length would you recommend? 6'0? Or could I go smaller? A hint would be great! :-)

js commented on 01-Aug-2011 09:34 AM

charlie i think the 6,0 wold be a good choice

Hi JS, I got a chance to ride the 6'0 20 2 1/2 BB and absolutely loved it! I rode it in 4-6ft Swami's and found I could out position/paddle/drop everybody on anything I went for. I've shaped about 15 boards now and plan to mimick the dimensions of the
BB while slightly modifying tail design and nose width. I'm 5'11 200lbs and an intermediate surfer in anything from 3-10ft. If I'm going for a 6'0 20 2 9/16 (similar to Luke's dims), what thicknesses do you go with 1 ft from the tail and nose? I know this
will effect flex characteristics.

LUKE EGAN SETS BALI ALIGHT

Friday, August 21, 2009

Amongst all the crowds and commotion in Bali currently, there has been some great swell about. One surfer who has been capitalising on this is Luke Egan. Whispers are spreading through the camp that Luke has been blazing in the water and is setting the place alight. Quite a few comments have been coming from other surfers in the lineup saying that he is 'hands down' the best surfer out there, and should be back on tour the way he has been surfing. We are pretty sure that Luke is quite comfortable in his retirement, particularly being able to spend weeks on end in Bali in between his coaching duties with Parko. But it is safe to say that Luke is still surfing well, and we are sure that he is enjoying it as much as he ever has. Here are a few pics of Luke in action.

See you when you get back Luke!
