Caleb's J-Bay Boards

Wednesday, 28 June 2017 12:10:46 pm Australia/Sydney

Our young gun's been scoring at home on the Central Coast this winter, and with a trip to Jbay on the cards for next week, he put in an order for a new batch of Monsta 6s and Forget Me Nots matched with a few watercolour inspired ideas for our in-house spray maniac Adrian Turner. Looking at these, Sprayer's absolutely nailed it, and so has JS.

Blowing up in Brazil

Thursday, 18 May 2017 11:09:12 am Australia/Sydney

Owen's got plenty of options for the smaller days at Saquarema in his Monsta 6's (both HYFI and PU), but with good, clean conditions on offer, he's been dominating with the extra drive and hold of his Forget Me Not! At 6'3" / 76kg, he rides a FMN round tail 6'3" x 19" x 2 3/8" x 29.3L. Clip Peter King

Saquarema's mixed bag has been on full display for the start of the Brazil CT leg, with everything from peeling lefts to wedgey rights throwing up sections for turns, airs, and even the odd barrel (for Parko, especially). Having so much variety on offer and a fun-sized, consistent swell, the Traktor Team's equipment is all about high performance, and the first few days have delivered in spades. Board breakdowns and gallery, below:

Nitro Testing with Noel Salas

Wednesday, 12 April 2017 3:45:03 pm Australia/Sydney

Wherever you surf around the world, the new Nitro is all about making those smaller, weaker days as much fun as possible. With a flatter rocker than any other board in our X Series, it's built to generate and hold maximum speed in whatever waves you have on hand. In this review, Noel Salas surfs his Nitro on a few small days at Trestles, and gives it a great going over. Looks like it suits him pretty damn well too... Dimensions, below (he's 5'9" / 77kg). Enjoy!

WA's been firing since the CT rolled into town, and the Traktor Team's thrown themselves into everything that's come their way. From huge walls at Main Break, to mutant slabs at The Box, and a few crazy ramps at North Point, there's a whole lot of variety popping up around Margaret River. And the best part? We should see almost all of it come into play throughout the contest. Full gallery and board breakdowns below:
