Our most user-friendly super groveller of all-time, the brand new pony is for extra dedicated or just downright desperate surfers wanting to maximise their speed and ability to throw down manoeuvres in even the worst conditions. Whether it’s tiny, onshore and weak, or clean little runners, this board will have you going flaming fast!

A full nose outline moves into a generous distribution of volume under the chest, with a clean tail shape that was pulled in slightly during R&D to ensure manoeuvrability. The Flaming Pony’s smooth, flat rocker allows continuous flow in fat sections, and combines with a single to slight double concave to provide extra lift and easy rail-to-rail transitions. Overall, you’ll enjoy a plan shape that’s ridden two inches longer than previous ponies to create an incredibly forgiving small wave sled. The Flaming Pony looks good, goes even better, and will have you fired up to surf in even the most average conditions at home or on the road.

WAVE TYPE

Flaming Pony is our most extreme and dedicated small wave summer board. It has all the features to get you the most fun out of the poorest crumbly days.

The Flaming Pony is ideal for knee to waist high waves but will be super fun in anything up to 3 feet. The Flying pony skates over any flat section and is always fast and lively in full waves.

CONCAVE

A specifically designed, narrow concave for the wider board. Still involving a single concave starting in the nose to direct water under your feet for lift and speed. Double concave starts in front of fins which maintains lift and directs water release towards a gentle Vee out the tail for maximum manoeuvrability.

WHAT IS HYFI?

Jason Stevenson and his JS label (famous for the tractor logo) have been producing some of the most high-performance surfboards on the planet for more than two decades. No one questions the design elements of these boards, and a number of guys on the world tour ride them, including Julian Wilson, Owen Wright, Adrian “Ace” Buchan and Joel Parkinson. But what many people don’t realize is that the technology that goes into the construction of the boards is just as cutting edge as their design.

JS offers their range of boards in the HYFI construction, which is a hybrid fiber technology. The product of two years of research and development, HYFI is the latest and greatest in surfboard construction advances, producing light, strong, fast surfboards that are more durable than polyurethane boards, but ride just as well. The flex out of the tail adds more drive and projection, the boards are 20% lighter than PU boards (making them faster and more maneuverable), and they simply don’t ding as easily as normal glassed PU boards. The result is the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio, applied to some of the best designs in the surfboard industry. In other words, the perfect board.

JS offers a number of popular models in the HYFI construction, including the Monsta 6, the Air 17, the Monsta Box, the Blak Box II, the Ghetto Cat, the Psycho Nitro and the Flying Pony. Here at Hawaiian South Shore, we are excited to carry a number of JS’s HYFI boards. Come check them out—I’ve already added one to my personal quiver!
