The Skindog Thunderbolt Ova Surfboard in Bright Blue is a high-performance mid-length designed by Ben Skinner to deliver effortless paddle power, smooth glide, and surprising manoeuvrability. Blending classic flow with modern responsiveness, the Ova is built to maximise wave count while still turning with speed and control.

The Shape

A refined mid-length outline pairs generous volume with balanced curves for easy paddling and clean rail engagement. The bottom contour features a hull entry flowing into single concave, then double concave, finishing with vee through the tail for smooth transitions and drive. Soft 50/50 rails through the nose sharpen through the midpoint and tail for added responsiveness.

Where It Works

Ideal in waves from knee-high to overhead. Excels in beach breaks, points, and clean open faces where paddle speed, glide, and drawn-out lines shine.

How It Rides

Fast into waves with excellent early entry thanks to the hull-style nose. Once up and riding, it carries speed effortlessly and trims smoothly through flatter sections. Responsive rail design allows easy turning from the midpoint without needing to step right onto the tail, making it lively and versatile for a mid-length.

Construction

Built using Thunderbolt Red Technology for competition-level weight, flex, and durability. Features a Fused Cell EPS blank with Multi-Component Carbon Flex Control stringer system for long-lasting consistent flex. Finished with hand-laid Xeon fibreglass lamination and a protective Core Shield PVC shell.
