JS Industries Xero Fusion Carbotune Surfboard

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.

About Carbotune:

The benchmark after making Formula 1 style surfboards for 25 years is all about getting the balance of weight and durability into a board that will perform better than ever. We’re using all of that documented data on what is the optimal weight for each number of litres, for each surfer, and the type of surfing that they do. All of that has gone into making sure these CarboTune boards come out at those ideal specs. It’s a finely tuned balance for weight and durability to equal the performance we want. What the construction comes back to is a relatively simple formula: Weight & Durability = Performance. That’s why it’s taken 6 years – these elements have finally come together with the ideal balance for any surfboard made in CarboTune to both perform and last.

Carbon maximizes the weight to stiffness ratio of a surfboard, and provides you with a craft that efficiently turns power into speed. Translated for surfers and shapers - carbon provides an instant transfer of energy. So everything you put into it, CarboTune will give you back. Response will be immediate to any power directed to the board from the surfer or wave. This means that both angles and weight of carbon layups play a huge role in the R&D process and decision making on the boards’ construction. The weight of our actual carbon fibre cloth used is lighter than all other carbon we tested throughout R&D. It’s also lighter than the carbon fibre cloth used in most other surfboard constructions available around the world.

We’ve decided on this exact weight for better flex, while the finished overall weight of the board is still optimised for maximum momentum and projection. We’ve found that this ideal overall weight is close to our pro level team weight in a PU board. For example, a 5’10” / 28.6L CarboTune Xero Gravity is 2.4kg / 5.3lbs, and a PU pro team board at the same dimensions & volume is usually 2.5kg / 5.5lbs.
