Technology Behind the Magic

The CJ Nelson Oracle represents years of dedicated glider experimentation and refinement. This performance longboard evolved from CJ's transformative experience riding Thomas Campbell's Skip Frye Eagle in 2016, which opened his eyes to what longboards could achieve beyond his father's 10'3" Phil Edwards Waikiki.

Construction Features:

• Generous Rocker Profile - Strategically designed to reduce hangups and improve wave entry
• Performance Rails - Engineered for enhanced maneuverability while maintaining glider characteristics
• Concave Nose Design - Optimizes water flow and board control in critical sections
• Tail Flip Technology - Specifically crafted for improved noseriding capabilities
• Lightweight Glass Job - Reduces overall weight while enhancing board responsiveness and feel

Real-World Performance

The Oracle excels in Santa Cruz summer conditions and beyond, delivering the perfect balance of glide and performance. This board transforms the traditional point-and-shoot glider concept into something far more versatile. Whether you're seeking that effortless glide sensation or need a board that can pivot, slash, and noseride when conditions demand it, the Oracle responds with precision.

The generous rocker prevents those frustrating hangups that plague many gliders, while the performance rails allow for the kind of maneuvering that makes this board suitable for daily surfing rather than just special occasions.

THUNDERBOLT SILVER / TRADITIONAL PERFORMANCE

Fiberglass hand Lamination
Traditional Weight & performance Flex
Hand-Crafted

Thunderbolt Silver was developed to deliver a well-balanced combination of traditional performance, flex, and durability. The Silver blank includes internal fiberglass flex components and is hand-laminated with 6oz and 2oz fiberglass cloth on both the top and bottom. While Thunderbolt Silver offers the most “traditional” feel among our technologies, it still provides the highest level of flex—boosting performance well beyond that of standard PU boards. Its versatility and predictability make it suitable for a wide range of wave conditions and skill levels. If you love the classic feel of a traditional PU surfboard but want to enhance its performance, Thunderbolt Silver is an excellent choice.
