CJ Nelson CHAMELEON Thunderbolt Black - 9'1 V66 - 2+1 Fin Carbon Rail

The Chameleon is for the longboarder who wants a single board that can move between traditional and progressive surfing without compromise.

• The traditional logger looking for a board that still tip rides cleanly but adds real response off the tail
• The progressive longboarder who wants to noseride confidently without giving up performance turns
• The traveling longboarder who needs one board in the bag that handles whatever conditions show up
• The intermediate longboarder ready to step beyond a pure noserider into something more versatile
• The experienced surfer building a minimalist quiver who wants one longboard instead of three

This is the board for surfers who want a real do-it-all longboard — not a compromise between two worlds.

The Chameleon is built for the full range of longboard surf — clean peeling waves where you can step forward and trim, smaller days that need a board to generate its own speed, and stronger conditions with real shoulder where the performance rails and tail edge come into play. Its tuned rocker and blended concave keep it driving through softer sections, while the edge in the tail gives it the bite to hold a line at speed when conditions get more powerful. Hawaii's mix of mellower lined-up waves and bigger swell days covers the exact range this board is designed to bridge — which is why a true one-board longboard quiver earns its rack space here.

The Chameleon's design story is in the blend. CJ Nelson and Ryan Engle started with a longboard outline wide enough to noseride — a wide nose for stability up front, length for paddle and glide — and then layered in performance moves usually reserved for HP longboards. Performance rails replace the soft 50/50 rails of a traditional log, giving the board real bite when you put it on edge. A tuned rocker keeps the nose from catching when you push into critical sections. Through the bottom, a blended concave moves water under the board and into a defined edge in the tail, which is what gives the Chameleon its high-speed control and its ability to slice turns rather than skid through them. The tail shape itself is built for predictable release on carves without giving up the hold that lets the board sit in the pocket on a noseride.

Thunderbolt Red: Hand-laminated EPS foam core with internal carbon fiber flex components, layered with 6oz + 4oz fiberglass on the deck and 6oz + 2oz on the bottom. Tuned to a medium weight that blends the durability and liveliness of epoxy with the smooth, connected glide of a traditional polyester build — Thunderbolt's most popular and versatile construction.

Thunderbolt Black: Lightest and highest-performance Thunderbolt construction. EPS foam core with internal fiberglass flex components, hand-laminated with 6oz carbon fiber and 2oz fiberglass on both the deck and bottom. The quickest rebound rate in the Thunderbolt range, designed for performance-driven surfing.

2+1 Fin. Fins not included
