History Of The Thuster

SHARE:

Ever wondered why three fin surfboards are called "Thrusters"?

Simon Anderson the creator of the "Thuster" explains:

"Thruster" is because the water gets pushed through the fins in the turn. The single fin (just) holds that speed through a turn. Whereas with the twin fins, obviously the speed was quickly released and you'd just zip along. But the third fin was controlling it, controlling that thrust through the turn."
