Overview
The Thorn CC delivers the most direct power for light wind efficiency, upwind drive, and explosive freestyle pop on-demand. It was no small project to improve upon the performance of the 2009 Thorn. Kevin Langeree was unwilling to compromise any amount of the Thorn’s speed and power that has been absolutely proven by his competition excellence in the various conditions around the world.
The Thorn’s moderately more parallel outline, wider tips and low rocker line perfectly balances locked-in grip with essential control. Our greatest achievement for 2010 was from continued construction development where we managed to combine truly the best attributes of the 2009 Thorn and Thorn FC.
The winning combination for the 2010 Thorn CC construction was discovered with the same top and bottom laminates as the 2009 Thorn, but replacing its I-beam core with carbon fiber composites from the FC. The end result is a new Thorn that has the solid control of the 2009 Thorn, with the responsive liveliness of the FC.

2010 Thorn CC Construction
CARBON COMPOSITE LAMINATES
The 2010 Thorn CC fuses laminates from the 2009 Thorn and Thorn FC for a flex character, reflex response, anti-vibration, anti-distortion, weight and durability combination superior to its predecessors.
OPTIMIZED RESPONSE FLEX
Specifically tailored in combination with the Thorn CC’s outline and rocker, the Optimized Response Flex is moderately soft under lighter loads to allow the board to dynamically respond to input, while progressively stiffing in flex under higher loads to retain direct energy transfer between the rider and the board.
PRO POWER PERFORMANCE
Absolute top speed, efficiency, upwind drive, edging power and control -- ideal for both our International Team’s freestyle competition, as well as premium, versatile, advanced freeriding.
