All Thunderbolt surfboards typically start with our high-quality EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) foam core blank. The foam is lightweight and buoyant, making the board easier to paddle and maneuver. EPS is made of small, bead-like foam pellets that are fused together. EPS is lightweight, durable, and provides a responsive feel underfoot.

Thunderbolt surfboards have no central wooden stringer, which is traditionally used for strength in surfboards. Instead, we rely on modern construction methods like carbon fiber and or fiberglass elements for strength, stiffness and flex control. The standout features of a Thunderbolt surfboards are the advanced material flex components that we build into our blanks. Our blanks are designed with specific flex characteristics that mimic the feel of a traditional surfboard blank but with enhanced feel and elevated performance. Our flex patterns vary depending on the model, catering to different surfing styles and conditions. We offer a range of shapes, from high-performance shortboards to classic longboards. Each shape is designed to take advantage of Thunderbolt’s technology, providing surfers of all skill levels with an elevated surfing experience in any waves they choose to ride.

Depending on the construction (Black, Red, or Silver), carbon fiber or fiberglass flex components are applied into the blank in our “A-beam” - “V-beam” and “T-stringer” configuration. These elements are the heart and soul of our surfboards and provide the flex characteristics that we are known for.
