80's Inspired Thruster

This board was made for me.  I really wanted to test an 80's style thruster.  This was my first time shaping with EPS/epoxy and was a great learning process.  I kept the bottom design simple and the outline fairly classic.  The dimensions are 6'7" x 12.5" x 21.25" x 15.5" x 3" with a squash tail, modern rails, lightly beaked nose, relaxed rocker, and thruster setup w/ S5 fins by Surf Source.

I rode this board for the entire 2011 hurricane season in North Florida!  At seasons end, I ended up selling it used & am going to shape another one with 0.5"-0.75" more nose rocker for the steeper drops.  Even with the relaxed rocker, this board was making 99% of the drops with ease and I scored one of the best and biggest barrels of my life on it!
