Bonzer Archaeology: 1990’s Bonzer/Thruster
Recently I spotted this orange egg sticking out of the bushes at my neighbors house. I got excited when I saw the iconic Campbell Brothers logo so I trespassed and dug it out. |
It’s a rare Bonzer/Thruster! |
Extra rare because this board was built with the now defunct Red-X fin system. |
The best part of pulling old surfboards out of the bushes are all the creepy spiders and insects stuck to it. |
Lots of little dings, but nothing major. |
Red-X was unique in that it went all the way thru the board and screwed in from the deck. It was pretty strong but most people hated it. |
Nice outline! |
Here are the dims. 7’3″ x 21 1/4″ x 2 13/16′ |
The Campbell Bros Bonzer concaves work insane on thrusters. |
1990’s Malcolm Campbell logo. |
I had Randy the Ding Guy do a clean up and patch job. You may see me riding it this week. |
