JS Industries Carbotune Sub Xero Surfboard - FCSII
THE FASTEST BOARD FOR SLOW WAVES
Our unparalleled epoxy technology, HYFI, offers a unique multi-layer construction that feels unlike anything else. Think of it as a futuristic exoskeleton for a surfboard, making it lighter and stronger than ever before while maintaining the ideal spring-loaded flex for maximum performance. Over the last five years, we've continually improved every aspect of HYFI—performance, flex, speed, materials, and manufacturing processes.
The Sub Xero is designed for small surf, combining the best elements of the new Xero with our long-running summer favorite, the Psycho Nitro. It features Nitro’s ultra-fast low-to-flat rocker and full outline, but with a slightly pulled-in nose and a wider, straighter tail.
In the engine room, the vee in the nose allows quick rail-to-rail transitions, moving into a deeper single to double concave that helps the Sub Xero maintain speed and change directions with minimal effort. The board’s generous thickness and flatter deck are complemented by slightly pulled-down rails, similar to other boards with EasyRider-style dimensions. This design maintains volume throughout while making it easy to initiate turns and providing immediate response to any section on offer.
The Sub Xero is as performance-oriented as possible for knee-high waves, perfect for days when you wouldn't even consider getting in the ocean without the right super groveller. For slow waves, you need the fastest board—enjoy the Sub Xero.
Ride your Sub Xero approximately 4-6 inches shorter than your Xero in regular dimensions.

JS CARBOTUNE - 6 YEARS IN THE MAKING.
After six years of research aim and development, our brand-new carbon construction is ready to be released to the world. We’ve used dozens of different layups from our testing grounds at home on the Gold Coast & around Australia, to wave pools and a huge variety of waves throughout North America, Europe, Japan, Morocco and Brazil. CarboTune is what we’ve settled on as the unanimous favourite from JS and the Traktor Team in each of these conditions. The aim was always for endurance and performance unlike anything seen before in surfboard construction – now we’re here.
HOW ARE CARBOTUNE BOARDS CONSTRUCTED?
It begins with an EPS core. No stringer.
2. Carbon fibre cloth is assembled to wrap the entire exterior, precision engineered using the exact same angle and weight in each layer that we settled on throughout R&D as the ideal combination for durability and flex.
3. Carbon fibre cloth is applied with a vacuum-bagging production technique to ensure consistency in lamination. This technique is something we have developed & refined throughout the manufacturing of our HYFI construction boards since 2015.
4. A new generation clear epoxy resin is used throughout lamination, chosen for its excellent bonding characteristics with carbon fibre. Epoxy adheres to the carbon fibres to improve the composite materials’ strength, durability, and chemical resistance. It also provides high resistance to UV light, preventing discolouration.
5. An automotive clear coat is used to finish each CarboTune board, sealing everything to ensure the cleanest possible watertight surface.
USING CARBON FIBRE IN SURFBOARDS.
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.
THE BALANCE OF WEIGHT AND DURABILITY TO EQUAL THE PERFORMANCE WE WANT.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE RE OUR STOCK LISTING ONLINE:
INSTOCK = This is At our store in Orewa Auckland and ready to ship or pick up the same day. If driving from a while away, always call ahead to confirm. Ph +649427552

It will be stock glassing, fins lay up and tail. If that happens, you have two options. Add it to our next Sea Freight order at no extra charge that could take anywhere from 3-8 weeks, depending on when you order and the shipping cycle, or we can express airship it at $75 extra, which takes around ten working days.
