THE THUNDERBIRD is sporting a slightly wider nose and fuller outline, the ThunderBird paddles with ease. It comes with performance characteristics built into the bottom contours. The Thunderbird can be ordered as a high performance hybrid. This model works well in a large range of conditions from grovel beach breaks to quite punchy reefs. A great all rounder that can adapt to many conditions. Built with pattented INJECTION-TECH, the technology utilities the pressures and forces from the surfer and the wave itself, elastic energy. By strategically engineering the position of the reinforcing material on the bottom of the board, we create less resistance to torsional flex, allowing the board to flow through turns with a more drawn out turning arch.

Injection Tech utilises the pressures and forces from the surfer and the wave itself, elastic energy. By strategically engineering the position of the reinforcing material on the bottom of the board, we create less resistance to torsional flex, allowing the board to flow through turns with a more drawn out turning arch. The continuous length of reinforcing material is injected through the core of the board, from the bottom through to the deck, to increase drive, torque and pop in the tail region, much like the tail fin of a dolphin or tuna, generating speed and power. The complete rail of an Injection Tech is kept free of any reinforcing elements to ensure a smooth even flex from nose to tail. This load and release flex works in unison with the rail to rail transition of the surfer generating speed and drive, different again to the Carbon Wrap technology.
