The Bolt
From $1,199.00 AUD
The Bolt is a fast, down-the-line barrel hunter, with a classic single-fin design—fine tuned for drawing clean lines at high speed.
This model features a traditional single-fin rocker profile, full plan shape, and subtle concave running through the centre of the board, flowing out through the tail. Together, these design elements allow for early wave entry, exceptional down the line speed, and the ability to fly through open sections with control and confidence.
Proven in the waves of Hawaii, Indonesia, and Australia, The Bolt is built for surfers who enjoy bigger, more powerful swells, and really excels in clean, well-formed conditions where speed, timing, and commitment are rewarded. Best surfed with a straight 7.0" single fin, this model is all about momentum, precision, and that classic single-fin feeling.
