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.
DYNAMIC. POWER. FLOW
Designed specifically for Kani "Tsunami" Stewart, who placed 2nd in the world riding this model, the Tsunami is a standout noserider. Its subtle tail flip and wide tail block are engineered for extended, levitating noserides deep in the pocket—without the need for a nose concave. The tail curves also allow this board to turn remarkably well, even with its wide profile. Ideal for surf in the 1–2 foot to double overhead range, it has quickly become one of the most popular models in the Kai Sallas lineup.
A great fin choice for the Tsunami is Sallas X Kani. The 10" works well on all size boards, with the option to size down to 9.5" for the 9'2" and 9'4", or up to 10.5" for the 9'6" and 9'8". Another solid option is the Sallas Spiral — run 9" or 9.5" on the 9'2", 9.5" or 10" on the 9'4", 10" or 10.5" on the 9'6", and 10", 10.5", or 11" on the 9'8". If you prefer a noseriding pivot, go with the Sallas Catwalk — 10" works across all sizes, with the option to size down for smaller boards or up for longer ones.
