Description

The CJ Nelson Neo Classic longboard in Thunderbolt Silver technology delivers a classic longboarding experience.
Its very fast and loose off the tail and stable on the nose. The Neo Classic has a very even rocker profile with a slight step deck and tail which allows this board to flow and manoeuvre more easily while remaining a versatile nose rider. Absolutely no hang ups anywhere. The NeoClassic has a dynamic rolled bottom in the nose which blends to a modern down rail in the tail, this allows you to push through and drive out of your bottom turns and carry speed through your cutbacks. The Classic is a traditional longboard with modern touches that makes this one of the easiest longboards to get working. Its a long time favourite of the loggers at Boardshop!
CJ is a 3rd generation San Franciscan growing up in the Bay Area and following his father and grandfather into a lifetime of surfing. “My father had surfed nearly his whole life learning ocean safety and wave riding from my grandfather at their summer home on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach during the early 50s. I think my dad had his own dreams of professional surfing that were forcefully passed down to me”.
When CJ was asked what the downside of Thunderbolt Technology was he answered…”There is no downside or I wouldn’t be riding them 90% of the time. In fact the only time I ride wooden stringers is when I’m doing R&D with Eden Saul or Ryan Engle or Wayne Rich or Ian Chisholm or others”.
The Neo Classic is constructed using ‘Thunderbolt Silver’ a 100% hand layup Carbon/Fibreglass Lamination which delivers a classic weight and flex surfboard. Thunderbolt Silver uses a Fused Cell EPS Foam Blank which incorporates a Carbon Fibre Multi-Component Flex Control System which replaces a traditional wooden stringer which along with the lamination delivers a familiar flex which will remain for the extended lifespan of these durable boards. Thunderbolt Silver uses a 6oz Carbon + 6oz Fibreglass deck lamination with 6oz + 4oz fibreglass on the bottom. The Fused Cell EPS Foam Blank is wrapped in a Core Shield PVC Shell which affords flexible protection to the EPS core.
These boards are 100% hand layups and finished to the very highest standard, and it’s worth remembering that the board you buy from us is exactly the same as CJ is riding in all those mouth watering video’s!
Stocking CJ’s beautiful Thunderbolt Longboards is a real coup for all the team at Boardshop and riding them is proving to be a total game changer for many of us who’d never considered longboarding until we saw these boards in the flesh and had the chance to get them wet.
