The latest evolution of our flagship shortboard, we 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 in a range of conditions from waist high to overhead. The Monsta should let you mind surf a 2-4ft beach break, then allow everything you imagined and more. Our R&D showed that to be true 1000 times over.

In a similar range of conditions, the Xero Gravity is the everyman’s daily board, forgiving yet still performance oriented with a flatter deck & fuller rail, while the Monsta will dominate the same type of waves in a more refined version for the fitter or more experienced surfers. Overall, the new Monsta has a medium rocker, with smooth, continuous curve that’s slightly flatter than a Golden Child or FMN3, but more rocker than a Xero Gravity. It features a generous sweet spot for control in big turns, while balancing release out of the lip.

Another update is the new Monsta’s dimensions and thickness in the centre, which has now shifted to cater for the incredible power to weight ratio of our current team riders. Surfers from Jack Robinson to Kauli Vaast push hard enough at their size to ride more volume than previous generations. This means more foam in the centre of the board for paddle power, momentum, and power through turns.
