Let us know when there are some thumbs available on the showroom floor at Moonlight. I rode that board once last year on the 4th of July in small surf and it was so much fun. I can only imagine the magic at 2nd point.
Good for you, Jp. You deserve it. I have surfed myself sick on numerous occasions, and you’re right — it is always worth it, especially on a swell like that last one. kit

what size is that board?
JP
April 16, 2007Yes, I finally found a good use for my mutant toe.
The Thumb comes in a standard size of 5’9″. It is 3″ inches thick and is a bar of soap.
We are going to be doing limited runs of Thumbs so serious inquiries can contact bonzersurfer@gmail.com
This was an insane surf trip.
Day 1: smallish fun waist high.
Day 2: Roping 8 ft+ at 4th point, solid 6 ft at 3rd, perfect 4-5 ft at 2nd and killer shoulder high 1st point.
Day 3: Holding solid 6 ft swell hitting all the points perfectly. Total wave machine with brutal current.
Surfed over 20 hours total. I’m sick as a dog right now but it was worth it.

April 17, 2007is the thumb a CB design?
JP
April 17, 2007My Dad created The Thumb in 1974 (I think). The updated 21st century Thumb adopts the Campbell brothers Bonzer design.
My Thumb has Lokbox and I am currently riding a set of bamboo siderunners that Marlin Bacon made me.
