CJ NELSON 9'6" SLASHER LOW PRO LONGBOARD THUNDERBOLT
The SLASHER LOW PRO is the most forward-thinking longboard in our range. Taking everything we have learned about longboarding since CJ’s days riding for Isreal Paskowitz as a kid. Not a log, not an HP, but a fresh vehicle to take longboarding into the future with dignity. Performance rails for shredabillity, beveled concave for technical noseriding, wide point back for whip and control. This design has some hidden features that make this board quite possibly the smartest and most rippable longboard ever designed. Get the future under your feet on the SLASHER LOW PRO.

Thunderbolt Silver
There are 3 construction types within the Thunderbolt Technology. Thunderbolt Silver is handcrafted using an all-around fiberglass lamination. The bottom laminations are 6oz. and 4oz. fiberglass layers, while the deck laminations are 6oz carbon fiber and 6oz fiberglass. A classic feel with an enhanced hand-crafted result.
Thunderbolt Technology
Thunderbolt Technology utilizes advanced materials and technology to decrease weight while enhancing performance, flex characteristics, board control, and durability. Mass-produced epoxy boards are corky and stiff. While light and durable, they simply don’t ride well. But Thunderbolt’s hand-built boards take superior epoxy materials to an entirely different level. These boards provide the feel and sensitivity of a good poly board but deliver performance far beyond traditional epoxy pop-out constructions. Indeed, those who ride these high-tech epoxy boards claim they actually feel better than polyurethane. Thunderbolt boards are 100% hand layups. They begin with an EPS foam core with multi-component carbon fiber stringer systems that produce engineered flex and twist for a more lively, responsive performance. Proprietary designs employing internal carbon fiber components are then arrayed in the deck and bottom of the deck for precise flex control and strength. The core shield PVC provides flexible protection to increase strength and durability without compromising the flex and twist characteristics built into the blank. With ample carbon fiber and fiberglass in the deck, bottom, and rails, these boards both outperform and outlast traditional PU boards and other epoxy designs.
"I rode the SLASHER LOW PRO almost exclusively on my recent trip to Australia. It's so addictive to ride it's a little dangerous. The SLASHER LOW PRO just does everything so well it's almost unbelievable. I ride it to do the most complete and high performance logging I'm capable of." CJ Nelson
