Nigel Semmens 7'0" Big Boy Thruster


Size: 7' X 20" X 2 5/8"


This board was your standard big boy thruster, with a round pin. Finish was sanded. I tended to use this board as a semi gun and travel board. I rode the reefs in Fuerteventura and the NW of Ireland in solid waves. The board performed faultless and turned pretty well. It was stiff in smaller waves, however came to life in a bit of size and was really stable. It turned in a more drawn out way as you would expect for a board this size. The burford blank minimised the heel dents on the deck.


I'd recommend this board for good waves. A bit sluggish for mush and smaller stuff.


Rating: 4/5

Get back to studying for your junior cert you kook, or is that the entrance exam for junior infants.

Is this a good board for a transition from a 7'10" minimal?
