Great Expectations…

For years, the Thorn has been on the podium in competition freestyle and the test winner for advanced freeriding. This success has been a result of the Thorn’s efficient speed, solid power, upwind drive, responsive pop, balanced control, and extreme versatility in different wind speeds and water conditions.

This year, Naish offers two different versions of the Thorn: the Thorn and the Thorn FC. Both versions share a new outline offering enhanced power, pop, balance and control, but differ in their new and unique constructions.

The Thorn FC is constructed in a new, premium TIP2TIP WOOD CORE + FULL CARBON TEAM LAMINATE. The Thorn FC offers a whole new level of elite performance for the world’s most talented riders. The full carbon version rides higher and faster in the water with an even more responsive pop.

The Thorn has a lot of history to live up to, and we are proud to say that the 2009 Thorn will exceed your greatest expectations.
