Welcome to the review of the Black Baron by JS Industries!
I have been riding the JS Black Baron in the 5’7 x 20 1/8 x 2 7/16 – 30.4L in the EPS technology.
I’ve been riding this board all across the Australian Summer in a whole variety of conditions form 1 foot junk, through to waves around 5-6 foot with quite a bit of push, and it has really been a stand out in most conditions.
The Black Baron is a performance twin with all the characteristics that make riding a twin fin fun, but with so much performance capability that you sometimes forget you’re on a “fun board”.
With the ability to get loose in turns when you want it to, but also to have a lot of drive and hold beyond what a normal 5’7 twin fin would, the Black Baron was difficult to get off!
The 30.4L of volume felt perfect with around 1 liter more than my normal shortboards this board paddled into waves nice and early, and held pace across flat sections and down the line. The EPS technology added a little extra zing to this board as well and kept the board feeling really light and lively, especially in very sub-par conditions.
In the Black baron I rode the Power Twin fins by FCS and these felt absolutely perfect! A glass construction fin with a large amount of surface area kept the fins feeling firm and drivey, and never felt like it was necessary for the intervention of a third center/stabilizer fin.

After years of testing, this is the first twin fin ever released in the JS range, and we’ve timed it precisely to coincide with Parko’s step away from the world tour, and straight towards everything that’s just about the pure enjoyment of surfing. Immediately after announcing his retirement at JBay, Joel jumped onto this board to see one of his favourite breaks in the world with fresh eyes, and rode one wave the entire length of the point, grinning the whole way. He was hooked, and so were we.
By design, JS wanted our twin fin to be equal parts old school speed and new school flair. Foam in all the right places to float over soft sections and fly down the line, yet still allow you to lay it on rail or bust the fins even when you’re going Mach 10. Parko’s overwhelming standout from all of our R&D combined a flat rocker with vee throughout the board from nose to tail, with a balanced, maneuverable plan shape.
JS also tested the twin in a huge range of waves, from tiny beach breaks at home on the Gold Coast, to perfect overhead Cloudbreak. His favourite board? The exact same as Joel’s, with the perfect blend of strengths to make the most versatile twin of ‘em all, which is what we now call the Black Baron.
Whether you’re surfing weak beachies or quality, down the line points and reefs, the Black Baron is a hybrid that allows you to take whatever approach you’re interested in, from exploring new lines and just how fast you can go on a wave, to combining sharp rail turns with throwing the tail. Whatever way you go, it’s all about maximum fun.
