The CJ Nelson Thunderbolt Parallax Plus 8'3" Surfboard in Burnt Umber combines classic longboard heritage with modern performance. Inspired by the legendary hull designs ridden by Nat Young at Malibu during the summer of 1968, the Parallax Plus delivers exceptional speed, power, and flow. With refined rocker, reduced entry roll, and performance-focused rails, this updated design offers effortless glide with impressive manoeuvrability and control.
Building on the original Parallax, the Parallax Plus features a wider tail, increased rocker, and reduced hull characteristics for a more responsive, user-friendly ride. The refined entry roll maintains the smooth glide of a traditional hull, while modern down rails and a defined tail edge provide greater control through turns.
At 8'3", this versatile mid-length design combines classic flowing lines with the responsiveness of a more compact board. The 2+1 fin setup offers additional versatility, allowing surfers to customise the feel to suit their preferred riding style.
Ideal for surfers who enjoy traditional hull-inspired surfing but want a board capable of more progressive manoeuvres. The Parallax Plus performs well in clean, peeling point breaks and everyday beach breaks, offering a versatile option for a variety of wave conditions.
Smooth, fast, and exceptionally fluid, the Parallax Plus combines traditional hull glide with modern turning performance. The increased rocker and refined rails make initiating turns easier, while the wider tail provides added drive and stability.
The 8'3" length offers a lively, responsive feel, making it easy to link flowing turns, powerful bottom turns, and smooth cutbacks while maintaining speed through sections.
Built using Thunderbolt Technology, the Parallax Plus combines advanced surfboard construction with a timeless hull-inspired design. Engineered for strength, controlled flex, and responsive performance, it complements the board's smooth glide and versatile surfing characteristics.
