SOLEIL ERRICO The Newest Member of the Thunderbolt Family   If you were watching the Cuervo Classic at the Surf Ranch last September, you likely saw Soleil Errico style her way to the finals, where she came up just short of beating event champ Honolua Blomfeld (who would also go on to win the world championship at Malibu a few weeks later). While Soleil is not as much of a household name here in Hawaii as local girl Honolua is, she’s been a dominant force on the women’s longboard world tour for quite some time. Only 20 years old, the Malibu local finished the 2021 season in the top five, and already has one world title to her name, which she won in 2018 when she was still just 17. The stylish regular-foot blends timeless traditional surfing with aggressive turns in the pocket, and is one of the most powerful women on the longboard tour. In addition to a world title, she has also been the champion of the Relik Tour, which was a specialty tour run at Trestles and Malibu in California. She has ridden for Stewart Surfboards and Janga Wetsuits for years and has one of the happiest...

Fiberglass Lamination  Classic Feel with Enhanced Response Hand-Crafted Thunderbolt Silver is a surfboard construction that gives you the most classic riding feel. The laminate uses 6oz + 6oz fiberglass on the deck and 6oz + 4oz fiberglass on the bottom, making it heavier than other constructions. This increases the feeling of glide and cruise, and enables traditional riding. Of course, it has the performance and flex of Thunderbolt, so delicate board control such as quick pivot turn and setup in the wave pocket is easy. You can enjoy old school log riding such as hang five and hang ten on small wave, and trimming with curl. CHECK OUT SURFBOARDS MADE IN THUNDERBOLT SILVER TECHNOLOGY

🍒 Cherry Picker 🍒 Ben Skinner is one of the world’s best performance longboarders, and a master shaper as well. But lately he has had to step outside of his comfort zone and focus more on traditional logging. Over the past year, the Longboard World Tour (under the guidance of Devon Howard) transitioned away from performance surfing and more toward traditional surfing, emphasizing single fin logs, extended noserides, and powerful, traditional turns. Ben loves logging as much as the next guy, and is an excellent noserider, but over the years had specifically focused on performance longboarding because that’s what was required in world tour events. Now with the focus returning to traditional surfing, he started tinkering with a single fin log, which he ultimately took with him to New York for the world tour event last year. After that event, Ben realized that this was the perfect time for him to really focus on developing a great traditional longboard—both for himself as a surfer and for his customers as a shaper. He took the board from New York and started refining it, going through three or four different versions before finally settling on the shape that would become the Cherry Picker....
