USER-FRIENDLY RIPPER
Top pros like Bruce Irons, Joel Parkinson, and Luke Egan all ride Aussie shaper Jason Stevenson’s designs; the 6’5″ 300KW thruster we tested is identical to the one Egan surfs on in competitions. The bottom features a speedy, single-concave shape that transitions into a double-concave section near the tail. Normally we start with small waves when feeling out new boards, but on our first test session the break was overhead, hollow, and crowded. The 300KW was up to the task. It felt solid, fast, and easy to ride. The only drawback to such a finely tuned, lightly glassed board is that it lacks durability. 6’1″–7′; jsindustries.com
