The Baron Flyer is the evolution of JS Industries' beloved Black Baron—a modern twin fin tuned to unlock even more speed, lift, and liveliness in small-to-average surf. Designed for surfers who thrive on style and flow but still want performance underfoot, the Baron Flyer takes the fast, fun DNA of the original and adds new elements that improve its range and responsiveness.
Slightly more rocker than the OG Black Baron lets the Flyer fit tighter in the pocket, while still carrying the low-to-flat rocker profile that keeps it humming in weaker waves. A moderate single to double concave brings extra lift and acceleration, especially through turns. The flatter deck and low rails hide foam where it’s most useful—under the chest and front foot—allowing you to fly through soft sections, while still leaning into powerful carves or releasing the fins at speed.
A key upgrade lies in the flyer and round tail combination. This shape maintains mid-board width for paddle power but pulls in the tail for control, allowing tighter turns and added precision. Fin positioning is also shifted forward, creating a more responsive feel and smoother transitions rail to rail.
Whether you're drawing classic lines in small waves or threading sections in longer walls, the Baron Flyer responds with confidence. It’s a twin that thrives in the glide, but won't hold you back when you're pushing your limits.
Pros
Fast and forgiving, even in soft or average surf.
Improved rocker and bottom contours create more lift and liveliness.
Pulled-in round tail with flyer increases control and turning ability.
Flat deck and low rails allow for aggressive carves and smooth rail transitions.
Great paddler thanks to smart volume distribution.
Fin setup and shape promote balance between release and control.
Cons
Not a vertical, pocket-surfing board – better for down-the-line speed and flow.
Twin fin limits hold in steep, critical waves compared to thrusters or quads.
Requires a slight adjustment period for those not used to flatter decks and low rails.
Final Verdict
The Baron Flyer is a fine-tuned twin that builds on the beloved flow of the original Black Baron but brings more range and versatility. From weak, small waves to long, wrapping points, this board handles it all with grace, speed, and a playful attitude. It’s perfect for surfers who want to cruise when the surf is mellow but still go hard when the opportunity arises.
