Thrusters have always provide more lift but created drag.This has been counteracted with the new asyametrical side fins.
These boards are planning earlier and ripping it up.

Jagger Stone is currently in Pozzo and hanging with Scotty Mckercher
doing the comp thing, He has with him a few different boards, all can be sailed as single fins if it goes 35-55 knots .
Custom boards you get what you want designed,that little bit more or less volune softer rails and back your skill with your design.

King, I'm sure these boards are cool and I'm not commenting on them ... but assymetrical fins are NOT new.
I had them back on the Bombora TriFin and Bombora Antartica near on 20 years ago

Yep well remember all the pop out boards are hand made from some one.
I think thats a point people forget.Theres been pleanty of questionable shapes and rocker lines mast track,foot strap and finbox positionings.
As for the fins well they are a little more refined and user friendly than those days.

windsurfing design, like fashion, is cyclical. Repetition is easier than innovation.

Just hope they dont start selling triangle sails with just 1.5 battens at the top, with sexy brown orange and red stripes!

The new thruster fins have a totally new inside foil, concave , set to specific depths and a special leading edge.This allows the water to leave the trailing edge, in a laminar flow . It does not collide and therefore no drag.lts very similar to an aeroplane wing. Also fin placement and angles are critical. The feedback has been awesome, and now totally dominate my production. l wanted to produce a board that responded more like a surfboard,with no loss of speed through drag. The proof is in the pudding so it is hard for anyone to comment unless they have tried one of the new ones. l have worked and refined this for 3 years, next is really thin boards. Sorry the web page is way out of date.
Please do not compare my boards to the Delta Euphorias, completely different rockerline and fin systems.
cheers
