Check out these real-life scenarios: You feel under volumed and the struggle of paddling is real. You catch the wave but the surfboard so unstable you can't get to your feet. Your home break is weak and small most of the time. You are a big human that can still surf really well but there's not a surfboard out there that has enough foam/volume for you. If you are relating to any of these scenarios then the Jumbo Jet is here to get you fully stoked.

The Jumbo Jet has a 2 + 1 fin set up that turns easily thanks to the smooth lines of the round tail. Complimented by a tucked edge in the tail and modern rocker the Jumbo Jet accommodates the surfer that wants to go down the line, hit the section and move the board where ever it needs to go.
Throw in a little nose concave to help create lift for those heavier surfers allowing them to nose ride like a champ. The Jumbo Jet goes well in all conditions from small crappy beach breaks to beautiful points and steeper more challenging waves.
The shorter versions of the Jumbo Jet (7'2 and 8’0) will work a treat, they’re like the 'big guys' shortboard. These boards are for anyone that needs a little bit of help increasing their wave count. The extra volume allows you to paddle with ease, get in early and give you more time to get to your feet. I'm so stoked on this board it's got my Dad back in the water in his Mid 60's after 10 years out due to injuries and it has got him frothing. Hope you get the same stoke. Enjoy! Josh

I love it! I’m a bigger surfer and this board is a dream come true. I have the 9’0 and it’s perfect

Age 45/5'10"/215lb/intermediate surfer/NJ. I received the board via FedEx 4 business days after ordering. It was well packaged and arrived in mint condition. I've ridden the board in conditions ranging from waist high to a couple feet overhead (thanks hurricane Henri) and absolutely love it. The board paddles like a foamy, glides like a log, and turns like a shortboard... it's exactly what I was looking for!!!

I bought the 9'6 in 2020 for the extra volume I am 55 years old 6'4 and was 116kg at the time of purchase. This board has been amazing for me getting back into surfing later in life. The extra volume makes paddling a breeze and it glides into waves with ease. I have a new lease on life and surfing this board has inspired me to get fit and loose 19kg so now enjoying my surfing more and lasting longer in the waves at 97kg. I am just an average surfer but have had a many comments from fellow surfers how well this board holds the wave. The only down side is the deck is showing signs of compression dents already after about 20 sessions, maybe it could do with an extra layer of matting on the deck. Besides that I would highly recommend this board to anyone who wants to increase their wave count and enjoy longer rides. Cheers Tribey

I'm 69 and hadn't surfed for 6 months. I was struggling with my 30 year old Mctavish that was just too small for me making it difficult to paddle and catch waves. I've only had the jumbo out twice but love it. It has renewed my love for surfing.

Best board I have ever owned much volume, can catch almost any wave with 100kg rider

I am 60 years old, 85 kgs with an injured shoulder and over the past year tried to get back into surfing after a 30 year break. I have gone through 5 boards, 6’6, 7’6, 8’6, 9 and 9’6 and struggled to ride any of them until the Jumbo Jet. The Jumbo Jet does what they say it will do. Easy to catch waves, with plenty of stability and time to get to your feet. My 8 foot Jumbo Jet rides like a short board, you can ride it from the tail, rather then having to get up on the nose if you don’t want to. It is quick and manoeuvrable. If you are used to a shorter board and need some volume, go for the Jumbo Jet over a long board.

This board does exactly what it's description says. Paddles like a long board and reacts like a short board. Love it!

The surfboard came 2 days earlier than expected. It was very well packaged and protected. It's the 2nd board I have purchased with GSI and is exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely shop here again.
Thank You.
