Donald Takayama SCORPION 2 Thunderbolt Red - 6'8 V49 - DT Yellow

The Scorpion 2 was made for surfers who want longboard paddle power and wave count in a board short enough to really turn.

• The longboarder who wants to step down to a shorter board without giving up easy wave-catching
• The shortboarder who needs a fast-paddling board for the days their regular board won't get into waves
• The intermediate surfer who wants one forgiving board that can grow with them across a wide range of conditions
• The experienced surfer building a quiver who wants a board that changes character with a fin swap
• The everyday surfer who cares most about catching more waves and having more fun on each one

This board is for surfers who want to paddle like a log and turn like something much shorter.

The Scorpion 2 is built to maximize wave count, starting on small, soft days when most boards struggle to get going. Its paddle speed and glide get you into waves early and carry you through slow sections. When the surf picks up, the easy tail control lets you step it up for more powerful days, and it's designed to hold on into well-overhead surf. That range, from groveler to step-up, fits the mix of mellow and punchy days Hawaii surfers see through the year.

The Scorpion 2 is Donald's rework of his original Scorpion. It has a wider tail, a narrower nose and a more rounded-out template. The extra tail volume lets you ride it shorter than you'd expect, and the narrower nose keeps it from feeling like too much board up front. A pulled-in V through the pintail makes rail-to-rail transitions quick and easy. The result is effortless cutbacks, tight bottom turns and strong drive off the tail. Ridden short, it works like a mini noserider pintail: plenty of trim and glide, with a tail that turns on command. The fin setup is flexible too, so the same board can surf as a single fin, a 2+1 or a quad.

Thunderbolt Red: An EPS foam core with internal carbon fiber flex components, hand-laminated with 6oz and 2oz fiberglass on the top and bottom, giving a versatile, predictable feel with a medium rebound rate.

Thunderbolt Black: Thunderbolt's lightest, highest-performance build. It has an EPS foam core with internal fiberglass flex components, hand-laminated with 6oz carbon fiber and 2oz fiberglass on the top and bottom for the fastest rebound in the range.

4+1 Fin. Fins not included
