The CJ Nelson Designs Chameleon Surfboard knows no boundaries. Not a log, not an Hp but a perfect marriage of the two. Combining everything Ryan and CJ know about long boarding, they blended performance rails with a performance rocker, a wide nose and a blended concave and edge in the tail for control at top speeds. The result is truly special and unique. A board that does it all, in nearly every condition. This board tip rides with the best of them and slices turns on a dime. Take it anywhere and ride it with confidence. Quite possibly the most user friendly longboards in the world today.

Product Construction
Thunderbolt Black
There are 3 construction types within the Thunderbolt Technology. Thunderbolt Black is handcrafted using a blend of carbon and fiberglass lamination layers. The bottom lamination layers are 2-ounces of fiberglass layered with 6 oz. of carbon fiber while the deck is layered with 2 oz. of fiberglass and then 6 oz. of carbon fiber. The handcrafted result is a competition weight and flex longboard.
Additional Info
Thunderbolt Technology
Thunderbolt Technology utilizes advanced materials and technology to decrease weight while enhancing performance, flex characteristics, board control, and durability. Mass-produced epoxy boards are corky and stiff. While light and durable, they simply don’t ride well. But Thunderbolt’s hand-built boards take superior epoxy materials to an entirely different level. These boards provide the feel and sensitivity of a good poly board but deliver performance far beyond traditional epoxy pop-out constructions. Indeed, those who ride these high-tech epoxy boards claim they actually feel better than polyurethane. Thunderbolt boards are 100% hand layups. They begin with an EPS foam core with multi-component carbon fiber stringer systems that produce engineered flex and twist for a more lively, responsive performance. Proprietary designs employing internal carbon fiber components are then arrayed in the deck and bottom of the deck for precise flex control and strength. The core shield PVC provides flexible protection to increase strength and durability without compromising the flex and twist characteristics built into the blank. With ample carbon fiber and fiberglass in the deck, bottom, and rails, these boards both outperform and outlast traditional PU boards and other epoxy designs.
