The Thunderbolt Diamond Drive 2.0 longboard: balance and performance

A balanced evolution: from the original Diamond Drive to the DD2

The Thunderbolt Diamond Drive 2.0 longboard builds on the success of the original version whilst introducing targeted improvements. Whilst the original Diamond Drive featured a wider nose, the DD2 boasts a significantly more balanced shape. This new design retains the same rocker and tail that made the first model so renowned, offering excellent glide continuity whilst optimising overall performance on the water.

A teardrop-shaped concave for better noseriding

Among the improvements made to this Thunderbolt Diamond Drive 2.0 surfboard, the inclusion of a slight teardrop-shaped concave is a major technical enhancement. This concave has been specifically incorporated to aid speed control during noseriding manoeuvres. All other changes to the shape remain subtle and are the direct result of ongoing testing carried out to perfect the model.
