Basically just lots of product testing for new thunderbolt line boards- TJ has a new longboard coming out soon I think, and with CJ’s new line there is potential to see some new thunderbolt CJND models down the pipeline.
I like the basic look- I honestly wish there was just a clear white version, or tinted resin like the old glossed thunderbolts. Those were nice.
The problem with the FCS fins for me is that the few waves I surf are either shallow cobblestone reefs or slammy beachbreaks hahaha. The ova will...
Seen CJ still riding on them recently, also heard some new concepts are brewing. Just rumors, but from reliable sources
Found that one last night, watched it through. Ended up ordering the harley quads as I didn’t wanna buy a full 5 fin AM set. Still skeptical to buy skinner’s single for a 2+1...
quoting this one from over a year ago and 29 pages back to say: 100%.
I disliked my 7’ outlier because it felt absurdly large for its length. I just picked up a 7’ Ova and I’m very excited to put it to work. It feels properly eggy and refined, especially compared to the super-hull 7’ outlier. I...
Really fun, taken it out most days since grabbing it. Turns hammers and noserides well. Rails feel nicely foiled and responsive, board has just the right amount of hold, locked in when you want it to be but free just when you need it. Works good small days, works good better days. At 10’1 it’s...
Quick little update- Rode the vaquero edge at Sano a few days ago, lower lot was closed so it was just the 25 asphalt parking spots, waited in line forever and met a couple buddies after walking down with two boards, changing towel and suit. Buddy was hating his showroom board he was testing out...
Coming back to update- I’ve ridden this board every day since this and it’s been insane. May be contender for my favorite longboard now… or board in general.
I’ve found pretty much any uneven size to be sweet. Instead of riding 9’8s like most of the bucks out at Doheny or Sano I’ve become accustomed to 9’9s, one of my more recent boards isn’t a 10’ but a 10’1, instead of a 7’6 I have a 7’7… i also have a 7’1. something about that “extra” inch is...
Haha, I knew I had to jump on it, figured I wasn’t the only one eyeing it… almost went for the 7’10 they have. Good luck, hope something in the size range youre lookin for shows up
Good to know. I'll probably run through what fins I have first, that power glide and a 9" Channel Islands spicy fin. I'm stoked, now we just need some swell haha
I only scraped together two shitty photos of any of the contours before I went inside to take a much needed leak. These don’t at all do it justice. Need some sunlight and shadow, I’ll come back in and update with a rail foil pic once we get some
Good to hear I picked a decent fin haha. You...
