JS Big Horse PU

THE BIG HORSE – The Ultimate Barrel Board

When swell is on the way and it’s time to put the head down and go, saddle up the Big Horse.

With a global R&D program that delivered us dozens of Traktor Team favourites that eventually became the Schooner, the origins of this board model came from several different prototype boards ridden by Kauli Vaast and Ramzi Boukhiam in quality, barreling reef breaks.

And while the Schooner eventually went in a different direction with the wide point pushed forward in the outline, another board model began to emerge when one of Ramzi’s best tube riding boards found itself in the hands of Tai Buddha Graham.

Ridden even thicker again than your Schooner or FMN3, the Big Horse has an incredibly unique foil to hide excess volume in the middle, while dropping down to a refined rail. In Buddha’s words this board paddles like nothing else in the market, yet maintains a rail edge you can trust in any situation.

Features:

Rocker
The Big Horse features a medium rocker to combine paddle power and tube riding ability.

Fin setup
The Big Horse comes stock as a 5 fin setup. Alternate fin setups are available under custom order.

Glassing specs
For sizes 5’9 to 5’11 boards are glassed standard with 4 x 3 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom. 6’0 – 6’4 are glassed with 4 x 4 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom. 6’6 + are glassed with 4 x 6 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom. These are all default options and are customisable for custom orders. (All sizes come standard with Hybrid Fibre tail strips)

Rail type
The Big Horse has low rails to maximise the amount foam for extra paddle, but not sacrifice on maneuverability.
