BOARD OVERVIEW

OLD SCHOOL SPEED, NEW SCHOOL FLAIR

After years of testing, this is the first twin fin ever released in the JS range, and we’ve timed it precisely to coincide with Parko’s step away from the world tour, and straight towards everything that’s just about the pure enjoyment of surfing. Immediately after announcing his retirement at JBay, Joel jumped onto this board to see one of his favourite breaks in the world with fresh eyes, and rode one wave the entire length of the point, grinning the whole way. He was hooked, and so were we.

By design, JS wanted our twin fin to be equal parts old school speed and new school flair. Foam in all the right places to float over soft sections and fly down the line, yet still allow you to lay it on rail or bust the fins even when you’re going Mach 10. Parko’s overwhelming standout from all of our R&D combined a flat rocker with vee throughout the board from nose to tail, with a balanced, maneuverable plan shape.

JS also tested the twin in a huge range of waves, from tiny beach breaks at home on the Gold Coast, to perfect overhead Cloudbreak. His favourite board? The exact same as Joel’s, with the perfect blend of strengths to make the most versatile twin of ‘em all, which is what we now call the Black Baron.

Whether you’re surfing weak beachies or quality, down the line points and reefs, the Black Baron is a hybrid that allows you to take whatever approach you’re interested in, from exploring new lines and just how fast you can go on a wave, to combining sharp rail turns with throwing the tail. Whatever way you go, it’s all about maximum fun.

*Recommended fin choice – JS Twin Fin for Futures or FCSII JS Power Twin template.

BLACK BARON

WAVE TYPE

Black Baron performs best in flatter waves where you're looking to generate your own speed.

BLACK BARON

Features

Rocker

An overall low to flat rocker is well suited to create speed and glide in small to average conditions.

Fin setup

Black Baron comes stock as a twin fin. Alternative setups are available with custom orders.

Glassing specs

Boards are glassed standard with 4 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom. (All sizes come standard with Hybrid Fibre tail strips).

Rail type

Black Baron has flat low rails as a result of the board's flat deck, hiding volume in the right places for extra float, but also allowing you to turn at high speed.

BLACK BARON

CONCAVE

Black Baron features a VEE throughout the board from nose to tail with added double concave through the fins. This design helps rock the board from rail to rail with ease.

    Favorite Board

    Purchased a Black Baron twin online a while back and this thing has been my favorite board as of lately. Super easy to paddle, fast and responsive. Perfect for summer days in California.

    One of the best twin fin boards out there

    Was so good, I bought 2… One of the best twin fin boards from 1-3 ft. Goes in windy 15-25 mph slop. A high performance twin that you can push hard on..

    Great Twin fin

    I purchased the Black Baron twin fin in Huntington Beach. I own a number of boards and had been surfing the Seaside. But now I have just been taking out the Black Baron. I have it in poly, and will probably purchase one in Hyfi. I am also looking to get the Red Baron in Hyfi also. I looked at a lot of other twin fins, and feel I made the right choice with JS.
