Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt

Twenty years of racing, designing, and building long, all weather, all season, racing kayaks culminated in the creation of the Thunderbolt. Combining the best features of Wave series + X-Par designs has lead to the superior design and construction of this race-proven winner. This is the number one marathon racing kayak in its class. Check out The 2005 Blackburn Challenge - Kayaks Racing Single Men results to see the Thunderbolt's impressive times for yourself.
