BOARD OVERVIEW


SURFING MADE EASY.

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.

XERO FUSION EASY RIDER

WAVE TYPE

1-3ft. Great in many conditions from crumbly, flatter wave faces to good quality surf. The rocker has been proven over time to be the most versatile in the x-series.

FEATURES

Rocker

The same rocker as the superseded Blak Box 3. An overall low to flat rocker is the perfect all-round rocker creating speed and glide in small to average conditions.
Fin setup

The Xero Fusion PU comes stock as a thruster. Alternative setups are available with custom orders.
Glassing specs

Easy Rider boards 5'4" - 5'9" are glassed standard with 4 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom. Boards 5'10" - 6'3" glassed 4 x 3 oz. deck and 4 oz. bottom. 6'4 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

The Xero Fusion Easy Rider has medium to low rails. This performance based rail shape allows for precision when the right section stands up, yet has enough volume to get you through fat sections or avoid catch in chop.

EASY RIDER RAIL

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.

CONCAVE

Single concave under front foot moves to double concave between the 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 of the board. We found this to be the fastest of them all, as it creates maximum water flow.

 



WHAT IS HYFI 3.0?

HYFI 3.0 is our next major upgrade to stay on the cutting edge of surfboard construction, utilising everything we’ve learnt from both HYFI2.0 and CarboTune, revolving around a full carbon bottom and rails. For HYFI 3, this provides even better strength and longevity of performance.

The main components are:
• EPS core
• Unique multi layered epoxy & hybrid fibres
• Engineered carbon stringers
• Full carbon bottom and rails
• Innegra deck reinforcement


This new combination of layers gives you a snap back and lively torsion, so as you lean into a turn it’s always loading up and projecting you forward. For any weaker conditions requiring surfers to create their own excitement, it’s the best we’ve made yet.

SCALED ENGINEERING

We first built these scaled pins for use across the HYFI2.0 range, and after overwhelmingly positive feedback, we’ve continued with the same scaled pins in the deck of each HYFI 3. We found the next level of this technology by developing precision engineered stringers, or pins, which are scaled specifically for each board. The size of the pin changes depending on the dimensions of the HYFI, and therefore the weight of its intended rider. The shape of each board’s pin perfectly reflects our goal of making the stiffest part of the board at the centre, tapering out to each end. This results in an even better flex pattern that helps you load and explode into turns.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

We discovered a lot throughout construction of the 100% carbon boards which became CarboTune. It’s been tested by surfers of all sizes, in every type of wave, resulting in a technology that’s been carefully tuned and adjusted for each set of dimensions we build. That means your next best board ever is made in HYFI 3.

“The next step was to combine the two. Strength, stiffness and response of the carbon, combined with the spring of HYFI.” – Jason Stevenson

“What I really, really like about this construction is just how easy it is to surf. The spring and reaction time. With CarboTune, the harder you surf it, the more you get out of it because of the extra stiffness. As for these, even IF you only surf it at60 - 70% intensity you’ll still get so much benefit and speed.” – Jason Stevenson
