The Sprout 2.0 - traditional shape DNA paired with the futuristic performance merits of our blank building process at @thunderboltsurfboards.

Regarding the design process of updating the original Sprout to the newly designed Sprout 2.0, @cj_nelson says: “With the Sprout 2.0 I felt like, you know what, let’s just give the people what they want, let’s make this thing the easiest board in the world to noseride.

With maxed out tail flip, the Sprout 2.0 is designed to pair with the CJ Cali Pivot and CJ Classic Pivot fin templates from @flyingdiamondsofcalifornia.

One set of fins for every shortboard in your quiver, the FDX-1 in AirFlex Technology was built to feel familiar the moment you step on your shortboard, designed as a balanced, dependable template that surfers can rely on day in and day out.

AirFlex Technology combines a precision shaped polyurethane foam core with high strength fiberglass and epoxy resin, creating a lightweight internal structure supported by a durable outer shell.

By removing excess weight while maintaining structural integrity, AirFlex Technology delivers a balanced, predictable flex pattern with quick response and smooth feedback under foot.

Parallax Plus with a 🦈🦈 + 🔪.

“Any side fin can be paired with any of the performance center fins we make,” says @cj_nelson, discussing 2 + 1 fin setups for his @thunderboltsurfboards Parallax Plus.

“The @taylorjensent sides are a great place to start, as are any of the @nealpurchasejn sides. And then you have my personally designed Skylimit sides.”

“Freestylable,” says @cj_nelson.

He continues, “The Parallax Plus is really freestylable when you’re dealing with 2 + 1 fin setups.”

He elaborates that there are generally two types of surfers when it comes to choosing a 2 + 1 setup for the Parallax Plus: those who have spent most of their lives on boards they surf off the fins—such as a shortboard, an egg, or a groveller—and those who want their board to primarily feel like a “juiced-up” single fin.

For the first group, he suggests larger side fins with a smaller center fin; for the second group, he suggests smaller sides with a larger center.

Specifics?

“Any side fin can be paired with any of the performance center fins we make,” he says. “The @taylorjensentj sides are a great place to start, as are any of the @nealpurchasejnr sides. And then you have my personally designed Skylimit sides.”
