JS SubXero CarboTune Review. Are carbon fiber surfboards actually any good?
I've been asked by a few people for my thoughts on the new JS Sub Xero Carbotune, so I decided to make a surfboard review video about it. I have no affiliation with JS and I have not been paid or compensated for this video. I'm just an average joe who's sharing their thoughts on the board.

RE watching these before the new wavepool in scotland opens..where you been man?
You know i have a bunch of clips from Sydney. Should I make a little edit?
@@joshtraceysurfing Yea man, looking for tips and clips showing the takeoff..Didya go dark?..cant find ya on the usual platform been trying gopro mouth mount but keep smashing it of the surfboard//)
@@middleagedshred Oh I deleted Facebook! and that deletes messenger. Ill send you an email with my contact details. do you have whatsapp?
@@joshtraceysurfing I dont i,m oldskool..i,ll chek my mail more often tho..)
Does the waves just keep on coming without a break for the whole session ? Haven’t been in the water for a few months questioning my paddle endurance , did you find you had time to Recover your shoulders between waves
Hey mate it does stop, in sydney they do sets of 6 with about 3 mins in between sets. That being said, paddle fitness is important here as there is a lot of water moving in the pool. Maybe take on one of the more chill sessions for your first one back :)
Carbon boards are absolutely qorth it. It feels almost exactly like pu
@@samw2768 yeah mate I agree! This is still the only board I’m riding
Hi, How you compare the Sub Xero and Phoenix?
man totally different boards. I personally like surfing the sub more than the Phoenix (not that it isn't a great board). It's faster and way more lively.
@@joshtraceysurfingi only have money to buy one 😩
First time in a pool tomorrow! Can’t wait but surfing in qld most days I’m not looking forward to the water temp in Melbourne 😅
Good luck, hope you have plenty of wetsuit haha. Just remember, you have to paddle really hard from the take off, closer to the wall you sit, the steeper the drop. Rip in!
Nice video
Hell, they both are shreddable!
@@billythephoenix so fun bud
Easy fix.
It's sick, but where is the scale up model? We've got good energy on the way - lots of means. Pump it up - 6 footers (ahead of the energy surplus)
The have a beast mode but it’s not bigger, I think it’s just more square.
@@joshtraceysurfing - gotcha - sounds like sebastian area in FL. It never gets bigger than a certain size. Just more backing to it. More water to drill you down. I guess the bottom contour would need a more gradual change than all at once - like 15 foot ramp up instead of 5 foot ramp up (though I have no idea of current contour). We need to get next size though. Someone needs to design it because cheap energy will be here at some point. Think of those pirate ships or whatever at fairs that swing back and forth. Now imagine it dips down and hits the water during a swing. BIG WAVES...
That fresh water get ya
straight to the bottom
Hey mate, the fact that you can't put a foot wrong on it is because it's JS. They make amazing board. I have a xero gravity, and so far, it's the best board I've ridden. It's super forgiving and very responsive. I surfed 8+ft with it yesterday, and even though it's not the board, you should ride in waves like that it held really well and got the job done. Thanks, JS. Good review, mate. I actually thought about getting a xero gravity carbon. I wish they would make the raging bull in carbon, too
@@christophecazaux6018 you’re not the first person to tell me the xero gravity is the best board they’ve ridden. Maybe I should get one 🤔 Nice work on the bomb yesterday 😮 pretty big around here this weekend too! Cheers for the message 👍🏻
Compressions in boards are actually a good thing. You can get your feet groove in the board. Relating compressions to strength is a false narrative. High performance boards that have good flex are most likely to get compressions and feel way better under your feet. Also, you didn’t mention flex at all, you only spoke about “density” and kind of touched on specs. Flex is everything in a Surfboards’s and carbon boards usually don’t have flex although JS said he has worked on this. I would rather a board getting more compressions with good flex than have a stiff board that is “strong”. Just my opinion. Thanks for the review.
@@watman_ thanks for your message mate. There is plenty of flex in the carbon, but not like the Hyfi. That being said the carbon does go better. My mate has the xero in carbon and his deck is compressed, to be fair though I do have a front traction pad so perhaps there is some compressions in mine that I just can’t see. They’ve just dropped hyfi 3 and that is carbon on the bottom and hyfi on top. I saw some reviews saying they have amazing flex and pop but I’ve not had the chance to ride one. I’ve been riding mine in the wave pool in Sydney and goes killer!
Why the music of a pedo ?
Hey mate, for reference how tall are you? And weight?
@@danielxerri9881 5’9 and at the time I was about 85kg or something. I now sit around 80 and have dropped to the 5’8 but to be fair I should have gone 5’7. Check out the Hyfi 3 that just came out.
And down he goes!
Meant it! 😂😂😂
Now that's a knife! Stevie hooked you guys up!!
Ho Stevie is the man! (I love that knife)🔪
Which construction is lighter in board weight...hyfi or the new carbo tune?
They feel about the same to be honest, but they perform very differently in the water. 👍🏻
Looks legit mate 👌
Thanks mate!
Hi mate, great vid. this looks so fun! Im staying with my family further north at grand mirage and trying to work out surf spots i can sneak off to, i dont suppose you know of any beach breaks up that way? I guess i can always scooter down to the headland. Any info would be much appreciated, thx for the clips!
Hey mate what time of year are you going? If it’s not say between November and April it will be blowing onshore pretty much everyday. There seems to be a bunch of breaks all the way along the beach, some you need a boat and some you don’t. I think there is a couple north of this spot that can be paddled but I didn’t surf them. Just be mindful the current is really really strong, even on small days. That being said, the left in this video was super fun, recommend if you can get there. Can’t surf it at low tide. Good luck! 👍🏻
Awesome, thanks so much for the reply mate, im there in 2 weeks. I think I’ll head down that way and check this spot out. Cheers for the info mate! Much appreciated.
@@GazPotter-u4t it was super fun and no crowds! Good luck mate.
Hey Josh, thanks for the review. I'm looking for a board to progress my surfing. I've been told that I'm a low-intermediate. Do you think this board would work for someone still working on takeoffs and turning?
Hey fella, I think most boards will still be good for that. Was is it about this board this you like? My personal opinion, is that this is quite an expensive board at around $1600 so it’s expensive to learn on. In know JS have just released their Hifi 3 which is half carbon half epoxy. You’ll get similar pop and snap from the carbon but at a cheaper price. I’m really keen to see how these go and would possibly check out one of them so save some cash. All that being said, I’m still exclusively riding this board and absolutely love it still. At urbn surf it’s been so much fun.
@@joshtraceysurfing Hey mate, thanks for the reply. The main reason I was interested in this was 1) you did a great job selling it, 2) I love your feedback about different areas to put my feet because this is a part i'm struggling with 3) you mentioned it's pretty bullet proof so I'm hoping to invest in something good now that I can surf for the next 5 years or so. Thanks for the tip on the Hyfi 3.0. Will also check this out. Thanks heaps for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
Definitely counts
what leash do you use for your go pro
@hostevie GoPro leash. Check em out!
That's a beginners left
Were you Josh Tracey surfboard reviews. I recognise your filming venue. I’ve been off shit RUclips for a while.
Hey mate yeah, it used to be called Josh Tracey Surfing but I changed it a while back. Ive been the same mate, only just posted again recently.
@@joshtraceysurfing I’ll be sure to subscribe 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@chrro466 legend!
Heck yeah!
So fun bud. I’ve already done 4 sessions haha. I’m gunna go broke!
@joshtraceysurfing doing great bro! Looks awesome!
@@skater_scott thanks mate.
Going to urbnsurf in Sydney in a couple of weeks, great video and well explained! Never been to wave pool before so cheers for the info mate 🤙
No worries, I was there last night! A couple more tips... don't ride a twin or 2+1 use a thruster as you need more drive in your bottom turns as it can be a little boggy. If you have a pockety type board with a bit of volume, ride it. Good luck, it's super fun and I think personally that it is better than Melbourne!
Hey mate, how have you found the sizing and litres? Im presuming you had the hifi in a 5'8 too? Would you say its good at the same size with paddling etc seeing as you mentioned its sits in the water more? Whats your height and weight? Ive had a 5'8 hifi2.0, curious about sizing a carbotune. Felt lime i could have done with abit more volume at times. Im 5'7 80kg! Cheers
Hey mate thanks for reaching out. Yeah I had the 5'8 in Hyfi too and found the same size good! What I mean by sits in the water more, is it doesn't sit on top of the water like the Hify when you're on the wave, it's difficult to explain, but I think if you ride one you'll get what I mean straight away. I'm 5'9 and about 77kg. but when I bought that board I was about 82kg so when I get another one I'll likely drop down a size again. It's still the only board I'm riding... but I'm quietly toying with the idea of getting the Xero too.
Thanks alot, do you find it paddles just as good? Do you feel like it adds or feels like less litres when paddling?
I like it, just not sure about looking even more like a seal while surfing in W.A with it being black.
Must admit on the overcast grey mornings, that thought goes through my mind. It’s a killer board tho, it’s still the only one I’m riding. Nothing else gets a look in.
Is that advanced turns?
Yeah from memory. It was so long ago now.
SICK MATE !
Heading on Thursday night for advanced turns. When are you down?
🤙
Billy you’ve been having a ball lately mate! Good times on the lake! Can’t wait to see that vid
Just show us this angle, than it will count 🤙
No one needs to know anything 🤫😂😂
😅😅😅😅 @kookoftheday
Not sure it’s worthy of kook of the day! 😂😂👍🏻
Wow don’t listen to that dude
That's enough motivation to try again no cap
For real
What!!!!!!
True!
Where in Sydney was this? Manly? Cheers 😊
Yeah mate. 👍🏻
Must be stoked Joshy looks so much better than Melbourne
It’s different for sure. Will take some getting used to. I am stoked although my bank account won’t be haha
One of the worst boards I’ve ridden. Slower than every FireWire model and if you look at it the wrong way it will ding. Worst $1000 I ever spent
Offt! Haha brutal review. I definitely agree on the ding front. What’s a similar FireWire style of board you’d recommend?
This things gonna take some weight off your wallet! Sick baz
Mate tell me about it! Already going back in 2 werks
Hell yeah, dude! Awesome!
Cheers Scott!
Sweet mate
SICK BRO !
Gotta come down for a sesh mate
@@joshtraceysurfing Already on the plan, will you be free in around a month ??????????
@olmanboog tell me the day you’re going and I’ll come if I’m free.
The lovely, unforgiving wall of doom lol. Smacked my board against the Melbourne one. Lucky no dings lol
Got me yesterday too! Thankfully no damage
where is this? i want to go surfing in places like this
Manly!
what the hell was that guy doing that got run over :) lol
Loitering! Haha I don’t know how I missed him. We chatted after and he said his own concern was saving his board 😂
@@joshtraceysurfing lol seems like a lot of kooks at this park bahaha. I'm buying a gold membership, seems dangerous with some of these clowns in the way.
@@joshtraceysurfing I liked your cutbacks, looked fun
@@jaysonfranswa3818 It all seems to work out when you're there tho. I've considered the membership, I have a few sessions booked at Sydney already so will see how often I end up going before commiting.
@@jaysonfranswa3818 Thanks mate, hoping to wok on them next Monday at the wave pool. Cant wait to see how my surfing has changed in the pool from 2 years ago
Props for the superb review, it is detailed and informative. How's the Little Marley at this point in terms of durability? does it get waterlogged? I am foamies fan, have a few, 5'3 Softech Wildfire, 4'11 Seaglass Albacore, and 4'6 Catch Surf Twin Fin Beater. Debating between the Little Marley, Catch Surf Twig and Softech Lil Ripper.
Thanks so much mate! 👍🏻 the marly is great for durability, my only concerns are with the fin boxes but I’ve had no issues so far. The little marly is quite performance oriented for a soft top, so much fun
@@joshtraceysurfing Thanks dude, nice to know it is holding up. I will definitely cop the Little Marley then. BTW, you were ripping on your other video with the Marley.
@@microchannel haha thanks man, I haven’t ridden it for a while, I must get it back out there, it’s so much fun and can catch just about anything haha! Good luck mate
I have one ,. If you wanna go 78mph on any wave ,... from 1 foot to 10 foot.. Get one .
100% facts! Haha
I would replace those plastic fins with glass.
Why? The fins work incredible. Do mean glassed in fins?
@@joshtraceysurfing Because unlike plastic, fiberglass fins pop out of turns which results in more speed / power.
@@joeblow1942 I have the same fins in Neo Glass, is this what you mean or do you mean fins glassed into the board?
@@joshtraceysurfing No, not glassed on fins. Glassed on fins are nice because the fins won’t flex at the base but for me the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. I don’t know what Neo Glass is. I meant solid fiberglass or the lighter “honeycomb” fins in boxes. You’ll get a lot more squirt out of your turns with glass vs plastic because glass pops back much faster when flexed.
Thanks Josh!
Thanks for tuning in! 🤝🏼
Have had the Xero G on day of release here on the Goldie and by far the best board I’ve ridden. Was strictly a HS fan and originally from Mosman, but have switched to Carbotune. Nothing compares. When Snapper is your home break and you have the chance to surf almost everyday, these boards are the best daily ever imo.
Mate you’re the second person to tell me the xero carbon is the best board they’ve ridden! I tend to stick to the more groveller boards here in Sydney but might have to give the xero a crack! Check out the sub for your groveller, it’s a bloody great board too! Thanks for watching mate.
