The Blue Thunder is built for riders who want to push their skills. It's shorter and more reactive than most boards in the lineup, with a deeper concave deck and functional nose and tail kicks that give you a locked-in stance for more aggressive riding. Whether you're training your balance and technique, riding skateparks, or just carving tight, fast lines on the street, this board responds to every input.
The lightning bolt graphic is a symbol of creative energy — placed facing forward on the rails as a guiding light through every turn. Updated in a cooler blue colorway that keeps the classic design lineage fresh.
Available with CX for snappier rail engagement or C7 for that smooth, drawn-out surf feeling.
