Chris Hemsworth’s Gold Coast Stealth Board
Vacuum-bagged carbon fiber, jet-black glassing, and aggressive channels give the SJS Custom Rock n Roller the look of something designed in a wind tunnel rather than a coastal shaping bay. Built on Australia’s Gold Coast by shaper Scotty James, the stealthy shortboard relies on complex hand-cut bottom contours and beveled rails to channel power through high-speed turns.
James turns out only a handful of boards each week, specializing in intricate glasswork and custom carbon builds that have caught the attention of both Kelly Slater and Chris Hemsworth. Using a vacuum-bagging process to laminate carbon over the blank, the construction maximizes rigidity and response without packing on excess weight—giving the board immediate drive off the bottom.
It’s an uncompromising piece of high-performance surf hardware that trades traditional polyurethane foam and fiberglass for motorsport-grade materials and obsessive shaping.
