Indeed it’s certainly not a bad board (in fact it’s currently one of my most ridden!) but the Thunderbolt stuff is certainly at the top end of my personal limit for boards! 🤣
I have a broken thunderbolt Cherry Picker, and got it fixed professionally. Most of the bottom was replaced with 2x 6oz layers, and now it's really heavy... 10kg. So... Do you think it's worth keeping it as a nose rider? I'm used to a 9.3 in the pink, so more used to throwing the board around when needed. Not the case with this one...
Sorry to hear you snapped one! If you’re thinking of keeping it for smaller days and just nose riding the extra weight might actually be a plus, but if you’re looking to throw it around a bit more I’d say the fact it’s now 10kg will probably make it feel too chunky. Might as well give it a few surfs and see how it goes though!
I appreciate the honesty of whether you would add it again to your quiver again. (Not that it’s a bad board)

every day you're shufflin'
Hahaha yeah defo need to work on smoothing out that board walking 🤣🤣
Rode this board a couple months ago. Loved it! Would love to add one to the arsenal
So good on the nose hey? What did you like most about it?
@@StokedForTravel I suppose I just liked how it felt under my feet. Seemed very responsive to me. Hard to explain.. just felt good haha!
@@LongboardSessions hahaha indeed it's suprisingly easy to turn for such a big, chunky noserider!
Would you prefer a pivot fin, or a raked one?
@@zalle1 I've been surfing mine with a McTavish fin which is a bit more pivot orientated. Has enough base that is still fun for nose riding too
