Manufacturer description:
The PARAGON is a workhorse for the traditional longboarder. A “Classic” California inspired step-deck, designed to be extremely neutral. Very fast and loose off the tail and stable on the nose for pocket tip riding. The Spoon has a very even rocker profile with a slight step deck and edge in the tail which allows this board to flow and manoeuvre with ease while remaining a versatile nose rider. A rolled bottom in the nose blending to a modern down rail in the tail allows you to push through and drive out of your bottom turns and carry speed through your cutbacks. The little spoon is a favorite of the whole team.
(Concept designed by CJ x Ryan Engle)
thunderbolt technolgy
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.

Hi Performance
- Carbon Fiber Lamination
- Competition Weight & Flex
- Hand Crafted
The construction that focuses on performance is black. We focused on maximizing the performance of Thunderbolt technology to achieve the aggressive riding required in competition and smooth vertical movement in large waves. Its construction features 6oz carbon fibre laminate combined with 2oz fiberglass. With the lightness and suppleness of carbon fibre, Black is incredibly light, with fast flex and responsiveness throughout the board. From hard rips in large waves to roundhouse cutbacks on full rails and even tube riding, you can draw any manoeuvre you want.
