The Mother Trucker is JS Industries’ ultimate paddle-in big wave weapon—built for one job only: conquering serious surf. Whether you're eyeing outer reefs, ledgy slabs, or high-consequence paddle sessions, this board is designed to give you the confidence and control to commit. It’s been proven in some of the heaviest waves on the planet—from Waimeaand Cloudbreak to frigid Northern California reefs—by top-tier surfers like Makua Rothman, Julian Wilson, Joel Parkinson, and more.
This gun packs plenty of volume into the center for maximum paddle power, helping you get into waves early and stay composed under pressure. At the same time, relatively low rails keep things precise when you’re locked into high-speed bottom turns or threading massive tubes. The medium+ continuous rocker is engineered specifically for big, steep faces—it’s curved enough to handle critical drops without bogging or catching the nose, while still maintaining speed and flow down the line.
Underfoot, the bottom contour features a light vee from nose to tail, promoting clean rail-to-rail transitions at full throttle. A double concave through the fins adds extra control and drive through turns, especially in turbulent water or when drawing long, committed lines.
If you're heading into legitimate big wave territory, the Mother Trucker is that board you want under your feet—purpose-built, proven, and paddled into some of the most iconic waves in the world.
