Construction

New for 2021/22 and exclusive to the Thunder Bolt, we’ve woven carbon directly into the fibreglass for the ultimate in high speed dampening and tip-to-tail response.

Our three-way fibreglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.

Our lightest core features an 80/20 blend of Swiss paulownia and poplar for the ultimate in featherweight response.

A 70/30 Swiss paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.

50/50 Swiss paulownia and poplar creates a balanced core that’s lively yet strong.

Full poplar with hardwood beech stringers to strengthen the board’s backbone.

100% poplar – traditional core design that draws on the strong, springy qualities of this mid-hard wood from tip to tail.

Precured carbon offers even livelier rebound than our regular stringers. We use it to stiffen the tail and improve drive through turns on performance boards like the Surfer.

Tried and tested carbon technology. We deploy them in different areas to fine-tune the feel of each model.

The fastest base money can buy, produced using race-grade ISO-SPORT 7000 P-tex. This is the same shit spandex-clad dudes have on their ski boards. No joke.

A premium, 7000-grade sintered base reserved for our high-end models. Packing more molecules into the P-tex means it’s super tough and hauls ass.

Our standard sintered base that’s durable and fast – and even faster when you keep it waxed.

An extruded base with a difference. It boasts the highest molecular content of any extruded P-tex on the market, meaning it’s consistently quick regardless of how often you wax.

Die-cut bases are like a jigsaw. Flip Flop minimises waste by using two or more color options for each piece. That means more unique graphics and less environmental harm.
