20 years of JS Industries. 10 years since the JS flagship shortboard, the original Monsta, was first developed. And now in 2020, their new Monsta will be ridden everywhere from your most rewarding sessions at home & regular trips chasing waves, to Dream Tour events and the Olympic Games. Its latest version is the most complete all-rounder they’ve ever made, improved and fine-tuned by elite athletes, global ambassadors & local legends, together with their recently retired World Champ and JS. The latest and greatest for 2020 revolves around maximum performance, but with added forgiveness and fine tuning for each board’s desired conditions. The new Monsta needed to provide spark for explosive manoeuvres in everyday waves, while being predictable and reliable in pumping surf from our backyard at Snapper & Kirra to destinations like Cloudbreak. The rocker has been tweaked to provide a more generous sweet spot, which easily generates speed, allows you to control big turns, and balances release out of the lip. Compared to the Monsta 8, the nose has a touch more curve in the last few inches to prevent catching in critical parts of the wave. The same magic tail rocker remains to fit into the conditions the Monsta 2020 is designed to thrive in – almost any conditions from chest high to double overhead plus. Single concave under front foot runs into a double concave through the fins to give you extra lift yet maintain control in powerful surf, while a clean outline flows into a slight hip that allows for responsive direction changes. Overall, the Monsta 2020 prompts intuitive & fast surfing. It’s a huge milestone for JS, and now, it’s ready for the rest of the world to enjoy anywhere, anytime. The best always find a way to get better.
