Xero Fusion Swallow Tail Easy Rider

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.

The Xero Fusion is a performance oriented, user friendly model for flatter faced waves. Positioned between the Xero Gravity all-rounder and the Sub Xero super groveller, this is our latest small wave weapon to fill an essential role in any surfer’s quiver.

It’s been designed with the iconic and timeless Blak Box rocker with a new and updated blend of outline curves, modern rail shapes and a narrower swallow tail. This tail shape provides more outline curve from nose to tail enhancing the overall glide of the board in weaker conditions. The new Xero Fusion features a combination of extra foam distribution throughout the rail line leaving the volume where you need it. However, the rails are pulled down to create the sensitivity you need in a board with plenty of extra foam hidden throughout.

This has been a winning combination for JS throughout a lot of our favourite boards in recent years. Xero Fusion is incredibly fast due to the Blak Box rocker providing instant acceleration, suited even more to small waves compared to the Xero Gravity. The rocker is flat and designed to fly through any dead spot, yet enough curve enabling you to push and turn hard in the pocket.

The engine room includes a single concave under the front foot running into a double through the fins. This provides extra lift and control through critical sections. The Xero Fusion is an updated and modern alignment with the best-selling Blak Box model (ridden in the same dimensions). Look for the Easy Rider option also available for surfers who prefer more foam in a shorter board, with low rails to maintain manoeuvrability.

As the Xero Family evolves, JS continues to focus on adding to the strengths of our clear global favourites. We have tested dozens of combinations to create fresh ideas and found the ultimate 1-3ft step down model catering to so many locations around the world. Xero Fusion is now the board of choice for our Traktor Team riders in flatter or weaker waves when they still want to perform at their absolute best.
