Easy rider dimensions created with the goal of making our most popular models even more approachable. After a year of JS riding more different boards than ever before alongside Occy and Parko, with an R&D process riddled with injuries, lower fitness levels & work obligations, JS designed our EasyRider specs for easy paddling coupled with high performance surfing. Foam is hidden in all the right places for extra floatation, but with lowered rails that can still be buried at high speed.
Much loved by surfers around the world for the last eight years, we’ve set out to build a new board that does justice to the famous Blak Box DNA, which has always brought fun yet still exciting surfing to good, average and even terrible waves.
The success of our Monsta Box and Air 17X at the refined end of the X Series prompted JS to re-design our Blak Box to be even more suited to weak waves and surfers who don’t get their ideal choice of conditions day in, day out. It’s user-friendly, and it’s a must have to make the most of whatever window you have to get in the water each week.

Wave type Features ConcaveBLAK BOX 3 performs best in waves that are fat and crumbly but goes equally well when its clean and hollow. Best wave height is between 0 and 4 feet. BLAK BOX 3 is fast, manoeuvrable and super rippable! It's perfect in average conditions when most high performance boards are struggling.
Rocker |
An overall low to flat rocker is the perfect all-round rocker creating speed and glide in small to average conditions. |
Fin setup |
Blak Box 3 comes stock as a five fin and will work equally well as a quad or thruster depending on the conditions. Alternative setups are available with custom orders. |
Glassing specs |
Boards 5'6" - 5'9" glassed standard with 4 oz deck x 4 oz. bottom. Boards 5'10" - 6'2" are glassed 4 x 3 oz deck x 4 oz. bottom. 6'3" and up glassed standard with 4 x 4 oz deck x 4 oz. bottom (All sizes come standard with Hybrid Fibre tail strips). |
Rail type |
Blak Box 3 has medium to low rails, reducing catch and increasing speed in and out of choppy or soft sections. |
EasyRider boards are specifically designed to suit these dimensions, with more foam hidden under the chest, but a slightly lower rail to maintain responsiveness and still allow turning at high speeds. They’re not just blown up exactly from the regular dims, they’re based on the favourites from JS and Luke Egan – finely tuned during extensive testing to get the perfect balance of performance and forgiveness.
BB3 features a single concave through the nose running into a double concave starting forward of the fins. This design directs water under your feet to maintain lift, speed and manoeuvrability.
