The Thunderbolt Mini Moe designed by Harley Ingleby is a board that has got us super excited! The mini mid length style board represents the next step in surfboard evolution, all the paddle skills of a mid length but with added functionality and performance.
The original Moe mid length was designed to have an easy ride and good paddling, while keeping good stability and support, the mini version gives it a whole new dimension. The bottom is pretty flat with a double concave between your feet, a really good combination for carving turns in a wide board. The rails are not too thick, for sensitivity, and they transition from neutral round forward through round tucked edge to the fin area and low hard behind the fins which gives this new shorter length a really responsive feel. The rails are foiled from forward of centre toward the tail for drive through turns and speed around white water sections.
The new shorter length Moes open up one of our favourite boards to a much wider surfing community and they really blur the line between the mid length and full performance surfboards. It really doesn’t matter what your size, weight or skill level is, there’s a Moe to suit what you need.
Thruster or quad fin setups work well in the new Mini Moe, it has a 5 fin set up, the new FCS Harley large mid set is recommended, and the FCS Harley XL quad set works too. Other fin combinations may work well but we’d suggest sticking with medium to large.
Harley loves this Thunderbolt tech. The Mini Moe mini mid length is constructed using 'Thunderbolt Red' a 100% hand layup Xeon Fibreglass Lamination which delivers a competition weight and flex surfboard. Thunderbolt Red 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 Xeon Fibreglass lamination delivers a familiar flex which will remain for the extended lifespan of these durable boards. Thunderbolt Red uses a 6 + 4oz fibreglass deck lamination with 6 + 2oz 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!
We'll happily consider taking your old or unwanted surfboard as a trade-in against a new CJ Nelson Designs surfboard so If you have any questions about this we'd be delighted to answer them and advise on any potential board choices or enquiries you might have, just drop us an email to info@boardshop.co.uk or call us on 0044 (0) 1243 674250
