Easy Rider dimensions have been 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.
The all new Monsta, ready for anything in 2023 and beyond. To be in line with the Traktor Team’s most recent favourite boards, we’ve made some slight adjustments to the foil along with fractionally deeper concaves to provide extra lift and quicker transitions.
The rocker is still the same magic curve as our Monsta 20, featuring a generous sweet spot which easily generates speed, allows you to control big turns, and balances release out of the lip. The nose has just enough flip in the last few inches to prevent catching in critical parts of the wave, while the tail rocker remains to fit into the waves our Monsta is designed to thrive in – almost any conditions from chest high to double overhead.
Single concave under front foot runs into a double concave through the fins to give you plenty of spark, yet maintain control in powerful surf, while a clean outline flows into a slight hip that allows for responsive direction changes. Overall, the Monsta prompts intuitive & fast surfing. It’s our best flagship shortboard yet, and now, it’s ready for the rest of the world to enjoy anywhere, anytime. The best always find a way to get better.

The Monsta 10 is one of the most versatile surfboards on the planet. From waist high to double overhead plus, everyday surfers to World Title contenders, average surfs at home to annual trips chasing waves. No matter what, it won’t let you down. In competition, it’s the go-to for the Traktor Team in beach breaks and classic QS conditions to elite Dream Tour locations like Snapper, JBay or Trestles – and it’s been on the podium at all of them.
Rocker |
Medium entry and exit rocker, with a bigger sweet spot under front foot. Overall height is the same as Monsta 2020, placement of the curve has just been pushed more to the ends of the board. |
Fin setup |
Monsta 10 comes stock as a thruster. Alternative setups are available with custom orders. |
Glassing specs |
Monsta 10 is glassed standard with 4 x 3 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom from 5'6 to 6'4 and with 4 x 4 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom for 6'5+ (All sizes come standard with Hybrid Fibre tail strips) |
Rail type |
Monsta 10 has medium rails, providing a forgiving ride if conditions are less than ideal, but still allowing unlimited performance. |
Very similar to Monsta 2020. Single under front foot, double concave between fins. Based on team favourites, JS chose to go back to his “reverse concave” which is deeper under front foot and shallower at each end. We found this to be the fastest of them all as it creates maximum water flow.
