So stoked I just ordered a 34.5" Manta Ray with the Thruster D. I can't believe I just checked the RUclips channel on the day it dropped.
Epic. Hilarious! Go buy a lottery ticket!
Glad to see advancements in this product, but I wouldn't call this a game changer compared to what companies like waterborne are doing w/ adjustable angle adapters. I also don't need another gosh darn complete, please sell the adapter by itself.
Thanks for the feedback. We use to sell our Thrusters complete but then we had many complaints from customers why their hybrid setup wasn't as good as our completes. Not only did this frustrate these customers, but they took endless time trying to replicate our famous surf feeling no matter what deck, wheels and concaves. There are many factors, not just the Thruster. There is a lot of information on our website about this, just go to our FAQ section. We understand this can annoy some enthusiasts and we lose some customers this way. However, customers that do buy our complete based on their height, surf stance and weight are very satisfied.
@@SmoothStarSurf "There are many factors, not just the Thruster." all of which you sell individually on your website lmao stahp
@@SmoothStarSurf BULLSHIT 🤢🤮🤮🤮
I can attest to this. I tried putting the trucks on a deck that has more concave and it doesn't feel right. @@SmoothStarSurf
Oh i saw Gee in the video ! Such a nice person who taught me how to use a surf trainer properly ❤
Wow!! So stoked!!!! 🔥
Bravo Bravo Bravo for the new creation will save up for this one for sure.
Didn’t understand any of that but will be buying one
Congratulations Paul for the great choice for first hand disclosure of the Great innovation in the Smoothstar concept the THRUSTER D and the new Conner O'Leary 34" model , in this new configuration !!!! Andrew has no doubt shown us how amazing this new configuration is. And he brought us first hand this great news to become better surfers and at the same time have fun!!! Thank you very much dear brother!

Stoked 🤙🏼💯🎄
That sounds impressive 🔥
Wish to ride one of those.. From Mauritius
First surfskate I brought is the Toledo model and it is absolutely insain tried others but wouldn't traid it for any. For concrete surfing when you are like me the once in a while surfer which really sucks Smoothstar keeps me sain in the membrane.
Looks very sick I ride a 33 inch holy Toledo and it is by far the best surf skate I have had it’s crazy but I want to try out these trucks but keep the deck I already have so can I get it sold separately?
What about people who already have a Smoothstar complete and just want to upgrade to the new trucks? Can we get the trucks on their own if we already have a smoothstar deck?
This is just another unethical company that just want to sell completes.
@@thebluewren Its about reengineering an invention that is over 18 years old - 2004. Its our branding and strong ethos to match surf stance. Its not just about our truck inventions, its the over all product. We did consider trade-ins but our older invention is still an amazing product. If we sold our trucks by themselves we would actually sell more. We use to do it a long time ago but we had many customer complaints.
Epic!
I hope it’s an improvement from the original
I hope you made the spring and other components stainless or otherwise protected this time, I don't use my toledo anywhere near a beach and the screws, bolts and spring start rusting really easily.
Hey Rob. Thanks for the comment. The spring rusting is unfortunately avoidable. If we changed this metal it would change the spring performance. However we have springs from boards that are 10+ years - they are still functioning perfectly fine but have small surface rust. You can remove it and respray it, because in compresses the paint will crack and come off anyway. We did make some improvements a while ago regarding the nuts and bolts. However, in our quality control reports, we have less than 2 people report it globally. If you feel it warrants a warranty claim, contact our customer support and we will look at it on a case by case basis. 🤙
Why is Brazil, having a Smoothstar ambassador, there is no licensed representation. When will they come to settle in the country?
Hey Sandro. SmoothStar Brazil opened a few days ago! Both Filipe models are available. No import prices or expensive shipping to pay anymore! Go check out smoothstar.com.br
@@SmoothStarSurf
Yeahhhh!!! Thaks bro.
Yeahhhh!!! Thanks bro!!!
@@SmoothStarSurf Please sell the wheels as well as the spare parts in Brazil. I got 3 models(1 HT 33", 1 #77 34" and 1 #77 32.5" THD) and I need to replace the wheels on the #77 34" model.
it's working like C7? same phisics
Wow this looks sick when is it getting released
It's available right now in Australia. USA in a few hours. Europe in a few days... it will eventually world wide in a few months as boards roll out with shipping.
@@SmoothStarSurf sweeeeet so stoked
This looks super cool and I know you won't sell them separately but how about a plan for those of us that want to upgrade? I already have a dolphin cruiser in good condition so don't want to buy another complete set up just to try out the new thruster.
Hey Jonathan. Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately even our own models are not back compatible as the wheel bases are changed. We have had to change all of our deck outlines. The difference in the changes will be published soon on our website so you can see the differences. The Dolphin model is a seperate kind of model because its not as reliant on wheelbase and position of truck placement. So there won't be a noticeable difference between your current Thruster and the new Thruster D. So to get the responsive feeling we would recommend getting a shorter model that would match your surf stance.
@@SmoothStarSurf ah, that's really useful, thanks! I'm glad I'm not missing out by keeping the dolphin as it is. I'm pretty comfortable with how it feels underfoot now (I'm 6'4" with size 13 feet) but will have a good look at the shorter boards.
@@Alabalik66 You would really suit the Manta Ray with Thruster D... it might be still a little small for you but it will be super responsive. With the Thruster D models, the tail of the Manta is really wide and will fit a size 13 feet. Have a look at the photo of the Manta on our website and you will see how wide the tail is. We even put the size dimension on the specs. We have another model coming mid next year for surfers that are 6'4" and over but still want a shortboard feeling. There are not many of you out there but we really needed to do it because your surf stances are much wider than others. If you get the Manta with the Thruster D, then change the decks over later next year.
Can I buy a thruster d seperatly and screw it back on my smoothstar 77 toledo?
As of when will you be able to buy the truck on either complete or just itself? Looks great compared to the thruster up to now... Sure it rides well too...
Hey Alec. Thanks. Yes, its been in the works for a long time. Unfortunately we don't sell the Thruster separately. Its not just the Thruster that makes up the board. All boards match surf stance and weight. We discontinued selling our Thruster separately because customers would be frustrated that they couldn't replicate the same surf feeling as our complete boards. We then came across some Hybrid boards ourselves that felt really, really bad to the point that we didn't want them called SmoothStar's. We have seperate raisers, wheelbase, concaves etc etc. There is more information on our FAQ section on our websites.
@@SmoothStarSurf Thanks for the answer. Makes total sense. Happy to buy a complete with the new Thruster D too. No worries! I'm based in Austria.. Are the completes from Smoothstar Europe equipped with the new trucks?
@@alecsmith3073 Yes they are. However, shipping has been a nightmare. almost 3 weeks delivery from our factory in Taiwan. Boards should arrive on 29th December. However, we will open our website in the next couple of days for pre-orders. Stay tuned.
Omg i bought like 1 month ago a smoothstar and now they are releasing another one 😔😔
Don't worry, your SmoothStar with the Thruster on it is still an amazing product. We've just made it better. 🤪
🙌🏼🙌🏼 cuando estara disponible para comprar?
Estará disponible en unos días en Europa.
Any news on when the European site will be live?
Hey Richard. Apologies for the lateness of the reply but the EU website now has it available.
What is the wheelbase of the 32.5″ Filipe Toledo #77 THD?
19" 1/8 = 19.125 ≈ 48,6 cm
Great Paul , I would love to feel the drive of the Manta Ray with the THRUSTER D, but unfortunately here in Brazil the import taxes make things very difficult, imposing a double value on items purchased abroad. But I will still navigate this Manta Ray 'D'. Big hug brother!!! Much success!!!
SmoothStar Toledo models have just been made available in Brazil a week ago. Please check out smoothstar.com.br. No more expensive importing and shipping costs - we already paid it.
@@SmoothStarSurf Great news brother!!! I have been following the updates for a long time and was waiting for the reactivation of the site here in Brazil. Thank you brother!
Le site Europe ne fonctionne plus ?
Le site web européen est en cours de mise à jour. Il sera disponible dans 1 à 2 jours.
@@SmoothStarSurf on peut espérer une livraison à quelle date en France ?
Are you going to sell thruster D separately?
i think not
Sorry Michal. We don't sell it separately due to previous customers that tried to make hybrid setups. There is many factors, not just the Thruster that make it adapted to the best surf feeling. Such things as: concave, wheelbase, wheels, risers etc. etc. There is lots of information on our website about this, see our FAQ section.
Based on their comments, the real "upgrade" we're seeing here is the adapter being made into the baseplate for their trucks, so we can't buy those separate even if they sold the adapter alone.
@@SmoothStarSurf what bullshit 🤢🤢🤢🤑🤑🤑
Trying to make it smoother like the Slide surfskates....better to buy Slide
Appreciate you not promoting your own agenda on our channel. Please respect. SmoothStar is rated the "smoothest". That's why we called it "smooth"star.
