Thunderbolt HI Diamond drive 2.0 Surfbard, GRAY/CARBON
The original Diamond Drive was specified with a wider nose, the DD2 is more balanced in plan shape, same rocker and bottom shape and a light teardrop nose concave has been included to help with speed control while noseriding. Any other changes are subtle and are the result of ongoing testing. An absolute work horse and proven all-rounder that catches waves easier than any other board in the HI Series.
DIMS
9’2 x 22 ½ x 2 ¾ - 64.8L
9’6 x 23 ¼ x 3 1/8 - 78.6L
FINS: In all regular conditions we recommend the FCS Harley XL tri set. In larger open faces or hollow surf, we suggest the FCS Harley XL quad set. Customers that like the extra speed may also like the quad set on small days.
Thunderbolt Technology utilizes advanced materials and technology to decrease weight while enhancing performance, flex characteristics, board control, and durability. Mass-produced epoxy boards are corky and stiff. While light and durable, they simply don’t ride well. But Thunderbolt’s hand-built boards take superior epoxy materials to an entirely different level. These boards provide the feel and sensitivity of a good poly board, but deliver performance far beyond traditional epoxy pop-out constructions. Indeed, those who ride these high-tech epoxy boards claim they actually feel better than polyurethane.
Thunderbolt Surfboards are 100% hand layups. They begin with an EPS foam core with multi-component carbon fiber stringer systems that produce engineered flex and twist for a more lively, responsive performance. Proprietary designs employing internal carbon fiber components are then arrayed in the deck and bottom of the deck for precise flex control and strength.
The core shield PVC provides flexible protection to increase strength and durability without compromising the flex and twist characteristics built into the blank. With ample carbon fiber and fiberglass in the deck, bottom, and rails, these boards both outperform and outlast traditional PU boards and other epoxy designs.
