THUNDERBOLT TECHNOLOGY is a completely new surfboard construction that uses superior materials and technology to reduce weight and improve performance, flexibility, control, and durability.
Mass-produced epoxy surfboards have poor flexibility and are difficult to handle. However, surfboards made by THUNDERBOLT TECHNOLOGY provide a different level of riding feel even though they use epoxy. The ride quality is on par with a good conventional surfboard, and the performance is much better than typical epoxy surfboards. In fact, it has been successful in receiving high praise from surfers who have already used it, even more so than polyurethane surfboards.
The internal structure is based on a high-density EPS core. Instead of using a regular wood band for the stringer, we set a carbon fiber T-stringer in the center of the board and manufacture it from a blank. Furthermore, by arranging multiple carbon fiber strips on the deck and bottom, it is controlled to create the ideal flex and twist. The outside of the foam is also covered with a PVC core shield, increasing durability and strength without sacrificing performance or flex. Glassing is 100% hand layup. Handmade by skilled craftsmen.
The construction that focuses on performance is black. We focused on maximizing the performance of Thunderbolt technology to achieve the aggressive riding required in competition and smooth vertical movement in large waves. Its construction features 6oz carbon fiber laminate combined with 2oz fiberglass. With the lightness and suppleness of carbon fiber, Black is incredibly light, with fast flex and responsiveness throughout the board. From hard rips in large waves to roundhouse cutbacks on full rails and even tube riding, you can draw any maneuver you want.
It is an all-round construction that combines classic and high performance. The laminate uses 6oz + 4oz fiberglass for the deck and 6oz + 2oz fiberglass for the bottom. It's lighter than traditional PU longboards, but still has a good amount of weight, so it combines great performance with an old-school longboard feel. You can handle everything from small waves of 1ft to overhead waves while feeling the ride quality of a longboard. You can enjoy both classic riding and aggressive maneuvers such as long nose riding, drop knee turns, and spray roller coasters. The red finish is heavier than the black, so it is less affected by choppy conditions with strong winds, making it easier to control.
Silver is a construction that gives you a classic riding feel. The laminate uses 6oz + 6oz fiberglass for the deck and 6oz + 4oz fiberglass for the bottom, making it heavier than other constructions. This increases the feeling of glide and cruise, making traditional riding possible. Of course, it has the performance and flex of the Thunderbolt, making it easy to perform delicate board controls such as quick pivot turns and setups in wave pockets. You can enjoy old school log riding such as hang fives, hang tens, and curl trimming in small waves.
