The Head Honcho of the Baron Family | Versatile. Forgiving. Fast.

MeetEl Barn the elevated evolution of JS Industries’ cult classic Big Baron. Designed for surfers who want that mid-length flow without sacrificing responsiveness, El Barn is built to paddle early, draw classic lines, and still rip when the surf turns on.

A stretched-out version of the Big Baron, it features a narrower outline, increased rocker, and modern reverse concaves that enhance rail engagement and water flow. The result: a board that handles 48ft surf with more finesse, drive, and versatilitywhile still offering the smooth glide mid-lengths are famous for.

This is the performance mid-length you take out when you want to draw long lines, get in early, and still turn like hell.

Rocker:Low rocker with added curve in nose and tail for improved control and performance in critical sections.

Concave: Single to double concave, featuring JSs reverse concave design deeper underfoot and shallower at each end for maximum lift and drive.

Outline: More pulled-in nose and straighter tail than the Big Baron = better turning radius and top-end versatility.

Rails: Medium-low rail profile with generous overall volumeideal for speed control and smoother turns in larger surf.
