Lost Stub Thumb Driver 3.0 Blacksheep Surfboard

ll new, every day, step-down, performance player, further developed with Kolohe Andino.

The 3.0 STUB is a direct derivative of the DRIVER 3.0.

Building upon the stoke and success of the 2023's 3.0 Stub Driver, we wanted to expand and extend the offering in this user-friendly high-performance player.

The easiest and most obvious, way to do so, was by making it available as a "Stubbed Thumb" tail. The round, or "Thumb" tail, has soared in popularity, recently, in the performance surfing world, with most World Tour and even Challenger Series surfers, opting for its no-frills, predictable and precise mannerisms. "The first Stubbed Thumbs I made were for my son, River and then went up from there. All the way to the big boss, Kolohe Andino, who is currently using it as his go-to shortboard." - Matt Biolos.

Design Updates:

• Reduction of surface area, by transitioning from bump squash to Thumb Tail
• Slightly pulled in nose
• Slightly thinned out tail‚ and that's about it.
• Same rocker and concave. Same rails and overall design concept.

A stepped-down and‚ stubbed‚ low-end/high-performance, smaller wave-ripping machine. The Thumb tail tends to fit more effortlessly into small pockets on quick dumpy sections, than the squash tail can. It also offers better hold when served up a high-speed wall with opportunities for an open face carves.
Perfect for small kinky beach breaks and good for arcing into head-high walls with confidence.

The 3.0 Stub Thumb Driver should be ridden 1-2 inches shorter than your standard high-performance shortboard.

About Blacksheep Construction:

BlackSheepBuilt boards begin with lightweight, 1.5lb virgin EPS and utilize the most advanced “Triax-NCF” (Non-Crimp Fabric) high-quality carbon fibre, to create a fast, responsive and lively surfboard. A board that is both lightweight and flexible, but also surprisingly strong.

• “Triax” Carbon is laminated only on the deck, with a short bottom lap and sandwiched with multiple layers of 4oz, “D-size” fibreglass, top and bottom, for both durability and performance.
• Engineered for rapid reaction and maintain a forgiving flex and dampened overall feel, under your foot.
• The combination of both Triax Carbon and fibreglass helps BlackSheepBuilt boards feel lively and exciting, but familiar at the same time.
