Manufacturer description:

The OUTLIER is one of the most functional designs of the "shortboard revolution" reworked by CJ and Ryan. A true speed hull that puts feel and rider enjoyment first, this board is a life changer. Digging into the history books, referencing MP, Nat, and all of the transition-era sliders we picked up where they left off and applied our modern knowledge to make this functional beauty. If you're looking to size down from your longboard or looking for a one-board quiver to travel the world with, there's no better surfboard to fulfill your needs.

Concept designed by: CJ X Ryan Engle

Thunderbolt Technology employs cutting-edge materials and techniques to reduce weight while simultaneously enhancing performance, flexibility, board control, and durability. In stark contrast to mass-produced epoxy boards that tend to feel rigid and unresponsive, Thunderbolt's meticulously handcrafted boards elevate the use of superior epoxy materials to a whole new level. These boards offer the same feel and sensitivity as high-quality polyurethane boards but surpass traditional epoxy pop-out constructions in terms of performance. Riders who have experienced these state-of-the-art epoxy boards often claim that they actually provide a superior experience to polyurethane boards.

Each Thunderbolt board is crafted entirely by hand. The process starts with an EPS foam core equipped with a multi-component carbon fiber stringer system, meticulously engineered to deliver optimal flex and responsiveness. Proprietary designs incorporating internal carbon fiber components are strategically positioned on both the deck and the bottom of the board to ensure precise control over flex and maximize strength.

The core shield PVC layer acts as a flexible protective barrier, bolstering the board's durability and strength without compromising its inherent flex and twist characteristics. Abundant use of carbon fiber and fiberglass in the deck, bottom, and rails ensures that Thunderbolt boards not only outperform but also outlast traditional polyurethane boards and other epoxy designs.

TBR - THUNDERBOLT RED

All round

  • Fiberglass Lamination
  • Competition Weight and Flex
  • Hand-Crafted

All-round construction that combines classic and high performance. The laminate uses
6oz + 4oz fiberglass for the deck and 6oz + 2oz fiberglass for the bottom. It's lighter than
traditional PU longboards, but still has a good amount of weight, so it combines great
performance with an old-school longboard feel.
TBR will handle everything from small waves of 1ft to well overhead waves while feeling the
ride quality of a longboard. You can enjoy both classic riding and aggressive manoeuvres
such as long nose riding, drop knee turns, and spray roller coasters. The red finish is heavier than
the black, so it is less affected by choppy conditions with strong winds, making it easier to control.
