This board is perfect for someone looking to have fun on the smaller days while not giving up performance, as can be the case on some of the mid lengths out there. Think about it a bit like a sort of half way house between a full blown easy glider mid length and a fish. The Big Baron is pretty profiled and slimmed out so feels nimble and progressive when up and riding and can transfer from rail to rail very easily as a result of the V running the length of the board. Don't expect a big chunky boy, that’s not what this board is about. If you’re looking for a board for smaller waves we would suggest riding the size you think suits your ability or even one bigger, as for the UK if your in less than epic waves then having a bit more length and volume will deliver more of the midlength easy ride and glide. Alternatively, if you want to surf better waves this board will fly in the smaller sizes.

An instant classic, the Big Baron is inspired by the mid lengths that generations before us rode on the infamous Gold Coast points. This is paired with a more modern bottom contour and twin fin placement, then complemented by a neatly pulled in round tail for extra hold. Because on this board, you’ll be burning speed and burying rail. A lot of it.

An overall flat rocker generates and holds momentum in even the weakest conditions, while vee throughout the board from nose to tail with added double concave through the fins helps it rock from rail to rail and retain its manoeuvrability. The plan shape holds a generous distribution of volume throughout, with relatively low rails allowing you to still turn at high speed. The Big Baron excels in playful conditions from knee high to slightly overhead. And while short, sharp waves are not where its range of strengths are best used, it has the paddle power and ability to control speed that you’ll love in quality, longer waves. On points, reefs, or beach breaks with stretched out banks, the Big Baron takes the pressure off and lets you enjoy the downtime between turns, tubes or the typical sections other boards can get stuck chasing. And as a bonus, riding the Big Baron will naturally smooth out your surfing and translate almost immediately to the shorter, more high-performance boards that most of us want to ride when conditions (and mood) align. The Big Baron is designed to give a lot and only require a little in return. More time to set up and make adjustments, earlier and easier entry as you paddle in, and the ability to go further and stay out longer in whatever waves are on offer.

*Recommended fin choice – JS Twin Fin or Futures EN Twin template
