LONGBOARD QUESTIONS

What longboards do you guys carry?

All the longboards we carry are only Thunderbolt Technology. The boards are tough, light , not corky and have a customized flex for each model. Thunderbolt Technology board are available in CJ Nelson, Harley Ingleby, Ben Skinner, Kai Sallas boards, Taylor Jensen

What is Thunderbolt?

Thunderbolt Technologies is a very unique board  that starts with an EPS (durable and lighter) blank. Then an internal flex control component is added that’s adjusted to provide the right amount of flex needed in each section of the board according to how each model is supposed to surf. The boards essentially get designed from the inside out based on what the surfers and designers want. The boards are 100% hand layups, which makes for the  high level of custom tuning possible. Once these hand-built blanks are finished, they are laminated with a variety of materials for customized performance, rebound and external strength. The result is a board that’s fine tuned to perform as designed for each model. 

Can I customize a Thunderbolt board?

SHORTBOARD QUESTIONS

How to choose FCS Shortboard Fins?

While much emphasis is put on the rocker, rails, volume, bottom contours, and the various other aspects of board design, fins are hardly ever discussed. And yet they might just be the most important part of a surfboard. After all, they literally allow us to steer our boards through barrels and turns! 

Fortunately for those of us who like to experiment with different designs, removable fin systems make it easy to do. FCS has been a leader in the removable fin system market for decades, and the current FCS II collection features a variety of templates and constructions that work for a variety of different surfers and conditions.
