Thunderbolt T-REX

Thunderbolt T-Rex

This is the Animal… the Thunderbolt-X carried to the extreme! The Hull has been narrowed to 17” at the widest point on deck (2 ⅛” narrower at the 4” waterline). The stability curve also differs from the Thunderbolt-X. Secondary stability starts at approximately 15 degrees from center, 10 degrees further than the Thunderbolt-X. These modifications result in 6-8 seconds per mile speed increase over the Thunderbolt-X at 7-9 miles per hour, 12-16 seconds over a standard Thunderbolt!

- Hull narrowed to 17” at the widest point on deck
- Hull 14 ⅞” at the 4” water line.
- A drop of 6-8 seconds per mile over the Thunderbolt-X at 7-9 miles per hour
- Changed stability curve

And all the features of the standard Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt X:

- Improved glide and less resistance
- Lightweight at 26 lbs. (Competition Build)
- Proper length-wetted surface ratio results in no stern wake
- Long, flared bow for a dry ride in the chop and surfing rollers.
- Ergonomic paddling position focuses energy in the forward stroke.
- Precise tiller steering for split-second course alignment.
- Hung seat for a low center of gravity—hip control
- Leg Straps for efficient energy transfer and rock-solid control
- Rollable

The Thunderbolt T-REX is suitable for moving water—lakes—moderate rough water.
