Description

The Thunderbolt Mini Moe designed by Harley Ingleby is a board that has got us super excited! The mini mid length style board represents the next step in surfboard evolution, all the paddle skills of a mid length but with added functionality and performance.

The original Moe mid length was designed to have an easy ride and good paddling, while keeping good stability and support, the mini version gives it a whole new dimension. The bottom is pretty flat with a double concave between your feet, a really good combination for carving turns in a wide board. The rails are not too thick, for sensitivity, and they transition from neutral round forward through round tucked edge to the fin area and low hard behind the fins which gives this new shorter length a really responsive feel. The rails are foiled from forward of centre toward the tail for drive through turns and speed around white water sections.

The new shorter length Moes open up one of our favourite boards to a much wider surfing community and they really blur the line between the mid length and full performance surfboards. It really doesn’t matter what your size, weight or skill level is, there’s a Moe to suit what you need.

Thruster or quad fin setups work well in the new Mini Moe, it has a 5 fin set up, the new FCS Harley large mid set is recommended, and the FCS Harley XL quad set works too. Other fin combinations may work well but we’d suggest sticking with medium to large.

Harley loves this Thunderbolt tech. The Mini Moe mini mid length is constructed using 'Thunderbolt Red' a 100% hand layup Xeon Fibreglass Lamination which delivers a competition weight and flex surfboard. Thunderbolt Red uses a Fused Cell EPS Foam Blank which incorporates a Carbon Fibre Multi-Component Flex Control System which replaces a traditional wooden stringer which along with the Xeon Fibreglass lamination delivers a familiar flex which will remain for the extended lifespan of these durable boards. Thunderbolt Red uses a 6 + 4oz fibreglass deck lamination with 6 + 2oz on the bottom. The Fused Cell EPS Foam Blank is wrapped in a Core Shield PVC Shell which affords flexible protection to the EPS core.

These boards are 100% hand layups and finished to the very highest standard, and it's worth remembering that the board you buy from us is exactly the same as CJ is riding in all those mouth watering video's!

We'll happily consider taking your old or unwanted surfboard as a trade-in against a new CJ Nelson Designs surfboard so If you have any questions about this we'd be delighted to answer them and advise on any potential board choices or enquiries you might have, just drop us an email to info@boardshop.co.uk or call us on 0044 (0) 1243 674250

Seems like a fun board, so far
This is a very early-days review: I've only ridden it a couple of times, in clean but gutless small waves. Normally I'd give a board a bit more time.

I once owned a Fat-Assed Wombat, which I've always slightly regretted selling: that board went well in nearly everything, and it was small enough to sling in the car/van on any trip. Little Moe looked like it might be similar: volume about the same, length also – but as a bonus, a 5-fin setup rather than the Wombat's sometimes draggy 1+2.

So far, I think that comparison's a bit unfair on the Moe. The outline is alike, but the rocker's more pronounced, especially at the nose, and there's a lot more going on with the bottom shape: hull/rolled entry > the subtlest of tri-planes > double concave > vee concave > flat behind the fins. It really works. On teeny waves I can stand about 2/3rds up the board, crouch down and slip-slide along as if I'm on a 7'6" hull; when the waves find a bit more zip, the board turns really sweetly from the tail, in much tighter spaces than you'd probably expect from the tail outline. It feels like a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing, so far.

To this point I've only ridden the board as a quad, with upright AM twins in the front boxes and the rears from a set of split keels. That seemed to work, but I want to try a couple of different thruster setups, a standard quad set, and maybe the MR 2+1s – a couple of people have suggested Little Moe goes well with Power Twins and a trailer, and the MRs are as close to that as I have.

For info, I weight 80 kg and surf OK: not usually good or bad enough to be noticed from the beach. (Although this morning, first surf in boots since last winter, you could have mistaken me for the King of Kooktown.) The 6'6" paddles well and catches waves easily for its size, although I wouldn't believe the claims you might see of catching more waves than longboarders on small days. The Thunderbolt construction really is great: it's tough as boots, light, but feels really similar to a standard PU board to surf.

I'll post another review when I've ridden it more.
