Introducing the Lotus - the ultimate ode to the classic 80s flat deck thruster design. This board has been specifically crafted to combine all the original design elements that made the 80s thruster a classic while adding a modern twist that will take your small wave surfing to the next level.
The Lotus features a bump flyer, beak nose, low smooth rocker, and flat deck with chimed low/soft rails - all the hallmarks of the classic 80s thruster design. But we've added a modern twist by tweaking the traditional flat or vee bottom. Keeping a little vee in the nose to prevent catching, we've added a shallow single concave under your chest that blends into a deep double concave between the fins, finishing with a flat exit. These changes have replaced a slow, rail-to-rail roll with more speed and release.
Underfoot, the Lotus is speedy, with a wide range of maneuverability for tight surfing in the pocket. When put on a rail, the chimed rails add a nice amount of hold and drive. This board is perfect for surfers looking to maximise their fun in the surf and take their small-wave surfing to the next level.
