The Rarest Thumb
This custom Thumb for Nick is unique. It has the ultra rare, impossible to find, curved Turbo Bonzer siderunners for the Lokbox fin system AND an authentic 101 Fin Co bamboo Bonzer center fin.
That's just crazy insane!

February 7, 2012Any guidance on what size thumbs work up to? I am thinking of a board for slower waves and for an ageing 200lbs surfer who likes to ride anything with enough volume. Everyday board is currently a battered 6’6″x23″x3″ fishy quad, with a little too much volume.

February 7, 2012This is a standard issue 5’9″ Thumb.
The fins belong to Nick who has held onto them for years. Another example of good surf hoarding.
I will have to consult with Peter Pinline on how big we can make Thumbs

JP from Surfy Surfy
February 8, 2012“Turbo” fins are curved side fins that Rainbow Fin Comused to make for Lokbox. The turbo speedialers still have a cult following and are still the best quad fins I’ve ever ridden.
My Thumb from 2005 originally had turbo Bonzer fins but have vanished along with all my other rare and collectible fins. Poached by neighbors and bros.
Malcolm Campbell finishes our Thumbs off A pre-cut from a scan of the original Thumb.
The Thumb looks like it shouldn’t work, but it’s the best board in the world.

February 8, 2012Doesn’t Takayama make a board like this? Scorpion or something?
JP from Surfy Surfy
February 8, 2012The Scorpion is actually quite different, The subtleties of the Thumb don’t always translate online.

February 8, 2012What happens if you try to ride it as a quad? I am guessing that you have tried JP?

February 9, 2012So any info on how big they can go?
Nick
February 9, 2012The dims are covered with wax but it’s definitely 5’9″ x wider than 20″ x possibly 3″. So far it is a 5’9″ noseriding machine, paddles into waves *really* easily and has only been ridden backside, whoa. Thanks again JP!

February 10, 2012That board looks awesome. I guarantee a QFR (quick fin release) in the center fin will help dial that board in to find the perfect sweet spot. Please check out qfrfins.com when you get a chance
