Thunderbolt Black is our lightest and most high-performance based technology. The board is laminated with carbon fiber, which quickens its rebound rate and adds durability without significantly increasing the weight. Thunderbolt black blank construction features fiberglass internal flex components. Hand laminated with 6oz carbon fiber x 2oz fiberglass cloth on both the top and bottom. Thunderbolt black construction is typically light weight with our quickest rebound rate which makes this construction the most responsive in our range. Thunderbolt Black construction is designed for any surfer seeking to maximize performance on a board that delivers durability, speed and control in a wide variety of conditions.
Thunderbolt Red was our first technology and works beautifully in all conditions. Our Red blank construction features carbon fiber internal flex components hand laminated with 6oz x 2oz fiberglass cloth on both the top and bottom. Red is incredibly versatile with a medium amount of rebound which makes this construction amazingly user friendly and predictable. Thunderbolt Red construction is designed for any surfer looking for all around performance and feel in a wide variety of conditions.
Thunderbolt Silver was designed to offer a well-balanced blend of traditional performance, flex, and durability. Our Silver blank construction features fiberglass internal flex components hand laminated with 6oz x 2oz fiberglass cloth on both the top and bottom. Although Thunderbolt Silver is the most “traditional” feeling technology we offer it does still have the most amount of flex which turns up the performance value way beyond any PU board on the market. Thunderbolt Silver construction is versatile and predictable making it suitable for a wide variety of wave conditions and skill levels. If you love the feeling of a traditional PU surfboard and want to turn up its natural performance value than this is a great technology for you.
The ORACLE. In 2016 Thomas Campbell loaned CJ his Skip Frye Eagle to help him get through the Santa Cruz summer. At that point CJ’s glider experience was almost none with the exception of riding his fathers 10’3” Phil Edwards Waikiki. The speed and glide Cj got on the eagle changed his outlook on what longboards in general should feel like. The long swoops and simplistic flow had him hooked but he always thought they could operate more like a traditional log. Could they Noseride, pivot and slash turning a novelty board into a daily driver?
Designing this Glider project has been a long time coming. We turned a point and shoot glider into a well rounded performance longboard. For years CJ has been dabbling in glider surfing having the top glider shapers from around the world build him boards. The thing that’s bothers him that mostly alll glider have in common is that they are very temperamental and hard to ride. Easy to catch waves on for sure but hard to navigate once you’re up. We wanted to break this chain and build a glider that catches waves with ease but performs like no other. The oracle has a generous rocker to eliminate hangups, a performance rail, concave nose and tail flip for nose work and a light, manageable glass job to accentuate performance. If you want to surf well until your 80, better start mastering a glider. A must have for everyone. (Concept designed by CJ x Ryan Engle)
