RED BARON HYFI 2.0

TAIL: Swallow Tail
FINS: FCII (fins not included)
CONSTRUCTION: PU

Our Black Baron twin became a global favourite for mixing old school speed alongside new school flair, with enough versatility to let you ride it in weak beachies or quality, down the line points and reefs. Now we’ve created its little brother, the Red Baron, to take the same diverse approach, but added even more float and glide to really excel when other boards struggle.

Essentially, it’s ridden shorter and wider than your Black Baron, with slightly extra width in the tail outline also providing more flow and easy speed generation. Vee is maintained in the bottom contour throughout, like the original Baron, although a touch more double concave in the Red Baron provides drive and helps you project down the line. Ridden approximately 2 inches shorter than the Black Baron, another point of difference lies in the fins – we’ve designed the Red Baron to use a keel fin template, as the high area and depth delivers control and helps maintain incredible speed on rail. Classic keel fins offer maximum drive and hold, making sure you’re able to get creative even at high speeds on a much shorter board.

WAVE TYPE
Red Baron performs best in flatter waves where you're looking to generate your own speed.

FEATURES
Rocker
An overall low to flat rocker is well suited to create speed and glide in small to average conditions.

Fin setup
Red Baron comes stock as a twin fin. We recommend our JS Keel Fin for Future boxes and the FCSII Modern Keel fin for FCSII boxes.

Glassing specs
Boards are glassed standard with 4 oz. deck x 4 oz. bottom. (All sizes come standard with Hybrid Fibre tail strips).

Rail type
Red Baron has flat low rails as a result of the board's flat deck, hiding volume in the right places for extra float, but also allowing you to turn at high speed.

CONCAVE
Red Baron features a VEE throughout the board from nose to tail with added double concave through the fins. This design helps rock the board from rail to rail with ease.

OUTLINE COMPARISON
As seen below, we've compared a 5'6 Black Baron to a 5'4 Red Baron, the 2 inch step down. A fuller nose with a straighter, wider tail.
