Tom Thumb

The Morris Surfboards NZ Tom Thumb is a meticulously crafted surfboard designed for both performance and versatility, making it a quintessential choice for surfers looking to elevate their daily riding experience. With dimensions of 5’11” x 19 1/2” x 2 1/2”, this board boasts a volume of 30 liters, making it well-suited for a variety of conditions, specifically waves in the 2-5 ft range. The Tom Thumb’s sleek outline features a fuller nose complemented by a slight hip in the tail, creating an effective pivot point that enhances maneuverability, enabling tight turns and dynamic carving in the pocket.

Engineered with a unique mid-entry rocker that has more flip than its counterparts, the Tom Thumb excels in generating speed and maintaining control, especially during challenging surf conditions. Its advanced bottom contour incorporates a full single concave under the front foot, maximizing the sweet spot for speed, while a subtle V at the tail ensures quick release. The tailored thickness shift toward the front allows for increased paddle power and wave-catching efficiency, while thinner tail rails facilitate superior performance at higher speeds. The tail shape, a hybrid between round and squash, aptly dubbed a “thumb tail,” adds further adaptability to the board. Available with either a Thruster setup or a five-fin option, the Tom Thumb presents surfers with customizable fin configurations to fine-tune performance to individual preferences.

Constructed with various glassing options, including light to strong laminate combinations, this surfboard is built to withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining weight efficiency. The Tom Thumb’s medium boxy rails in the front section offer robust performance in hollow waves, while the lower rails at the tail ensure responsive handling at speed. It’s a board designed not just for rodeo excitement but also for ease of use, making it the ultimate choice for surfers who demand both performance and comfort in their daily rider. The Tom Thumb exemplifies the perfect blend of design innovation and practical performance, setting it apart as a premier model in the Morris Surfboards lineup.
