JS Industries Monsta Squash Easy Rider

JS Industries Monsta Squash Easy Rider

The latest evolution of JS's flagship shortboard. They had to create a new Monsta once the Traktor Team unanimously decided this was the best all-rounder they’d ever ridden. Everyone’s recent quivers featuring this version of the Monsta saw a clear consensus – it’s what you want to ride to unlock your best performance surfing in a range of conditions from waist to head high. The Monsta should let you mind surf a 2-4ft beach break, then allow everything you imagined and more. The Traktor Team R&D showed that to be true 1000 times over.

There is now a clear separation in both dimensions & intended wave type between the new Monsta and the most refined models in the JS range, being the Golden Child & FMN3, which are designed as the pinnacle of everyone’s quiver - purely for quality, hollow waves. Since its release the Golden Child has become the gold standard in waves with power, so with those conditions perfectly covered, JS worked on the highest performance small to medium wave weapon to complete the most modern quiver.

In a similar range of conditions, the Xero Gravity is the everyman’s daily board, forgiving yet still performance oriented, while the Monsta will dominate the same type of waves in a more refined version for the fitter or more experienced surfers. Compared to the previous Monsta 10, the new Monsta has a smoother entry rocker – slightly more relaxed to carry maximum speed. Overall the rocker has a very similar medium curve, featuring the same generous sweet spot, allowing control in big turns and balancing release out of the lip.

Another update is bottom contours. This new deeper single concave allows a greater amount of water flow throughout the board, beginning under front foot and getting more pronounced through the fins.

Overall, the Monsta prompts intuitive & fast surfing. It’s JS's best version of this model yet, and now, it’s ready for the rest of the world to enjoy anywhere, all the time. The best always find a way to get better.
