JS Surfboards was started by Australia shaper Jason Stephenson and have grown to become one of the most influential surfboard manufacturers. The following are words by shaper Jason Stephenson.. "At the age of 5, I started surfing and am still hooked. I have been fortunate enough to have lived a lifelong dream of surfing, travelling, competing, and now shaping for surfers globally. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the stoke on someone’s face when riding one of my designs. Our current models culminate my life experiences, an amazing dream team testing our newest concepts in the best waves worldwide, and quality handpicked craftsmen fighting for the cause. It is a super exciting feeling in today’s climate as surfing is stepping up again with rapid technological growth, and innovative designs, its an exciting time. Enjoy the ride."

Jason first surfed when he was at the young age of 5, and shaped his first surfboard at the age of 25. With many years of experience in the surf world, Jason set himself for success when launching JS Industries in Australia.

One of the present pro-surfers whom JS Industries has great partnership is with Joel Parkinson. Joel is one of the lead surfers riding the boards from JS to many surf championships. As Jason states: "It’s an easy relationship. We’ve never gone through crisis times where Joel has gone, ‘Shit, my boards don’t work!’ Never."
