RECOMMENDED FINS

THE BIG BARON

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, youll 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.

Team riders reference

The vast majority of surfers could ride almost any of the Big Barons 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 youre intending. For example, someone with a longboard background might just step down to a 70 or 76, while a surfer who only rides shortboards might go no longer than a 64 to retain plenty of maneuverability.

Waves | The Big Baron excels in all conditions from 0-6ft, particularly longer waves with time to set up and build momentum.

What does JS industries and the tractor of the logo stand for? Have you ever think of that besides thinking, yep, thats cool? Well keep reading

JS stands for Jason Stevenson. As Stevenson says, back when he started shaping, everybody in the industry was calling surfboard companies by their name and thats not like him. He chose JS because of it and a lot of people dont even know still who that is or whats the real name behind it. Even though he knew it would get out there eventually.

So, JS is Jason Stevenson. Hes the founder, owner and shaper that built JS industries from the ground up. He has build strong relationships with world class team of loyal surfers throughout the years thanks to not only his shining talents but also his passion and love for surfing.

Not in vain the iconic Traktor logo has been found under quite some elite surfers feet over the years such as four world Champion and more 32 contenders. The valuable feedback of these top surfers are part of the innovations and improved designs over the past two decades.

Now, why a Tractor? Lets Jason Stevenson himself explain that one:

The tractor Well, Maurice Cole had the teddy bear at the time and, even though it was a teddy bear, it still looks really cool. I wanted it not so much to be about me. I wanted to build a brand but I also had connections to machinery. Theres a childhood photo of me standing next to a huge machinery that my old man used to drive when working as a machine operator in the mines in Straddie. Both my mom and dad surfed so, that is how it all began.

I went to Toys R Us and bought different machinery toys thinking that I would get a logo out of one of them. I got all these different sort of things and trucks and there was this one tractor that I went up and took photos of it. It was a yellow tractor at the time and I was like, Yep, thats it. Then it just evolved and that is how JS Industries had its logo. Jason Stevenson.
