The Xero Gravity is JS Industries’ go-to performance all-rounder, sitting right at the heart of their X-series lineup. Designed to be your daily driver, it strikes the perfect balance between user-friendly paddle power and high-performance response, drawing directly from the DNA of the much-loved Monsta Box—using the exact same magic rocker, but with refinements for even sharper surfing.
Compared to its sibling, the Xero Fusion, the Xero Gravity is noticeably more tuned for vertical surfing, tighter arcs, and quicker transitions. It has a slightly narrower outline and more curve in the rocker, giving it an edge in quality waves and steeper sections. Yet, thanks to hidden foam in the deck and medium-full rails, it doesn’t compromise on accessibility. It paddles well, holds speed, and maintains flow through the flats or chop.
A deeper single to double concave setup enhances lift and agility, while JS’s proven “reverse concave” keeps water flowing fast through the bottom of the board. Combined with a wide sweet spot under the front foot, this makes the Xero Gravity extremely intuitive to ride — ideal for surfers looking to elevate their performance in everyday waves, from waist-high peaks to solid overhead walls.
Whether you're chasing progression or just want a reliable blade that goes in nearly anything, the Xero Gravity is the one-board-quiver you’ll keep reaching for.
Pros
Versatile rocker and outline work in a huge range of wave types (2–6ft).
Deeper concaves and pulled-in rail offer improved responsiveness and lift.
Magic Monsta Box rocker gives it built-in familiarity with added performance.
Hidden foam keeps paddling easy while enhancing maneuverability.
Proven track record in QS & CT wins — this board works at every level.
Cons
Slightly more performance-focused than the Xero Fusion — may take a bit more commitment in weak waves.
Not as specialized for ultra-small surf or step-up conditions (but that’s where the Sub Xero or Schooner step in).
Final Verdict
The Xero Gravity blends trust and tech into a board that thrives in the conditions we surf most often. If you want a high-performance shortboard that still paddles well, holds speed, and adapts from sloppy beach breaks to punchy reef setups, this is it. It’s a refined evolution of a modern classic, built to let you push harder, flow better, and never second guess your equipment.
