CJ NELSON
SLASHER LOW PRO


Co-designed by CJ Nelson and Ian Chisholm. Built to lock in on the nose and snap off the tail — without trading one for the other.
How It Surfs
  • Concave nose locks in for a clean, lifted noseride in classic trim sections
  • Pronounced hip shortens the rail line — whips the tail around when you need a quick redirect
  • Lower performance rail with hard tail edge carves and releases like a modern board at longboard length
  • EPS with internal carbon flex surfs lighter and quicker than the volume suggests
Built Two Ways
  • Thunderbolt Black — lightest layup, quickest rebound, most performance-driven feel
  • Thunderbolt Silver — heavier layup, classic glide, planted noseriding weight
Designed for pocket logging — staying in the steepest part of the wave and surfing it with both finesse and aggression.

CJ NELSON'S SLASHER LOW PRO FAQS

Who is the Slasher Low Pro for?Ā 

The Slasher Low Pro is for

Intermediate to advanced surfers who want a versatile performance longboard that can both noseride and turn aggressively. It's ideal for:

Traditional noseriders looking to add dynamic turns to their repertoire

High-performance surfers seeking a reliable single fin for smaller days

Surfers weighing up to 240 lbs who want a responsive board

Surfers who enjoy riding beach breaks and point breaks in the 1-4 foot range

The key attribute needed is a desire to push performance boundaries while maintaining traditional elements. The board rewards surfers who want to stay in the pocket rather than just trim on the shoulder.

What is the construction of the Slasher Low Pro?

The boards are built in Thunderbolt Red construction, which provides a balance of strength, durability, and flexibility and Thunderbolt Black lightest and most high-performance based technology.

What fin setups are available for the Slasher Low Pro?

Single fin only

CJ's 10.5" fin is the baseline recommendation

This size is non-negotiable regardless of rider weight (even for lighter surfers)

Why This Size Matters:

  • Provides necessary base and rake for drive
  • Maintains stability during noseriding
  • Ensures proper speed generation
  • Essential for the board's designed performance

How does the Slasher Low Pro perform in different wave conditions?

Optimal Conditions:

  • Wave size: 1-4 foot faces
  • Best in beach breaks and point breaks
  • Excels in waves with pocket sections
  • Performs well in waves that offer shape and wall

Performance Characteristics:

  • Designed to stay in the pocket, not ride the shoulder
  • Wraps turns without needing to be pumped
  • Maintains trim while allowing critical maneuvers
  • Works best when surfed actively in the critical section

The board's sweet spot is in waves that offer some pocket to work with, stating it's "designed to stay in the pocket" rather than being surfed out on the shoulder. The board performs best when the waves have enough shape to allow for both noseriding and turning maneuvers.
