Manufacturer description:

The OVA is designed for surfers of all abilities and thrives in all conditions. Ideal for those transitioning up from a shortboard or down from a longboard, the OVA has a forward wide point for easier paddling, flowing into a rounded tail. It features a relaxed rocker and a unique foil that balances volume with performance.

The bottom includes a hull entry that flows into a central single concave, finishing with a spiral V through the tail. Soft 50/50 rails transition into a sharp tucked edge at the tail. This combination makes the OVA fast, smooth while trimming, and highly responsive on rail. The hull entry and soft rails allow for turns you might not expect, delivering glide, flow, and surprising agility—even from the middle of the board.

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.
