Radius

Jordy Smith's choice for best board in 2017's Stab In The Dark, the Radius is the latest incarnation of our top high performance design, the Bastard, John John Florence's go-to board for his World Title run in 2016. Jon Pyzel and JJF have refined the design even further over the last year and it continues to be a favorite among all performance surfers.

Designed to be ridden fast and loose in above average to great surf, the Radius has a smooth, medium/high bottom rocker for easy turning and a single concave to add lift and drive. The gentle hip in the outline keeps it lively and sharp, while adding drive. Proven in everything from the beach breaks of Rio and France, the point waves of J Bay and Trestles, and the reefs of the South Pacific and Indonesia, it feels best in surf with a little curve on the face, and just keeps getting better as it gets into more juice.

Volume guide:

Our volume guide can help you figure out a good estimated volume for you to base your next board off of.

Ability/weight/volume numbers are not exact, but can give you an idea of where to start. This chart is assuming volume for a basic performance board to be ridden in weak to good waves.

* Generally speaking, you would want to ADD volume for a board designed for smaller, weaker conditions. * You would also ADD volume for a step-up/gun board for use in even bigger, more powerful waves. * Added weight (thick wetsuit, booties, etc.) should be calculated into your weight. * You generally want to balance the added ease of paddling (more volume) with sensitivity and performance (less volume).
