thunderbolt technolgy

Thunderbolt Technology employs cutting-edge materials and techniques to reduce weight while simultaneously enhancing performance, flexibility, board control, and durability. In stark contrast to mass-produced epoxy boards that tend to feel rigid and unresponsive, Thunderbolt's meticulously handcrafted boards elevate the use of superior epoxy materials to a whole new level. These boards offer the same feel and sensitivity as high-quality polyurethane boards but surpass traditional epoxy pop-out constructions in terms of performance. Riders who have experienced these state-of-the-art epoxy boards often claim that they actually provide a superior experience to polyurethane boards.

Each Thunderbolt board is crafted entirely by hand. The process starts with an EPS foam core equipped with a multi-component carbon fiber stringer system, meticulously engineered to deliver optimal flex and responsiveness. Proprietary designs incorporating internal carbon fiber components are strategically positioned on both the deck and the bottom of the board to ensure precise control over flex and maximize strength.

The core shield PVC layer acts as a flexible protective barrier, bolstering the board's durability and strength without compromising its inherent flex and twist characteristics. Abundant use of carbon fiber and fiberglass in the deck, bottom, and rails ensures that Thunderbolt boards not only outperform but also outlast traditional polyurethane boards and other epoxy designs.

TBR - THUNDERBOLT RED

All round

  • Fiberglass Lamination
  • Competition Weight and Flex
  • Hand-Crafted

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.
TBR will handle everything from small waves of 1ft to well overhead waves while feeling the
ride quality of a longboard. You can enjoy both classic riding and aggressive manoeuvres
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.

TBC - THUNDERBOLT BLACK

Hi Performance

  • Carbon Fiber Lamination
  • Competition Weight & Flex
  • Hand Crafted

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 fibre laminate combined
with 2oz fiberglass. With the lightness and suppleness of carbon fibre, 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 manoeuvre you want.

TBS - THUNDERBOLT SILVER

Classic feel

  • Fiberglass Lamination
  • Classic Feel with Enhanced Response
  • Hand Crafted

Silver is aconstruction 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.
