300027 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 2 RockyIsland Dec 13, 2023 2023-12-13T14:58:05-0500 That board in Poly has been out for a while under a different model name. Ian Chisholm South Coast surfboards used to call it the Low rider now its the Low pro (spoke to him on the phone about it) and CJ had it on his site under the same model description as the Plasma now calling it the Slasher Low Pro. Looks amazing in black thunderbolt.....going to have to ignore all this marketing wallet took a beating on boards last few years.

People will comment on your style as you either look like a total cook or ride with style (there is no inbetween)

306125 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 13 RockyIsland Feb 15, 2024 2024-02-15T16:31:04-0500 The thing with the Oz Involvement style/Sam/ 66/67boards is at the time they were conceived as performance boards so it was all about the turning and staying in and around the curl and not an emphasis on nose riding. So thats a clue to how to ride them. I have a Gato 9'4 Playboy I currently cant get off. I like it much better than the Apex I had which I sold. Apex fun board but the Playboy has a more sensitive feel and finesse and carves really well even without edge in the tail, not the chunky feel of the Apex for me. Will check out a Slasher Pro next time I am in Torquay.

306646 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 17 Ziggy Feb 22, 2024 2024-02-22T05:37:39-0500 Hey, just joined to share board stoke, and to learn about other boards and designs. Got a Low-Pro in poly off Chiz. I'v been riding his boards for a few years now. This board is pretty damn sweet. It's got huge tail kick, but relatively flat rocker. Wide point set back, Nose concave is medium and runs all the way to the middle of the board, plus hard edges about 6 to 8 inches from the tail.. The board makes you noseride in the pocket. I feel like you have to be pretty competent surfer, but this board has had me levitating like I have never done before. Probably the best feeling I have ever had noseriding. But this board is called a slasher for a reason. It turns like a thruster and all the speed is generated through the middle of the board. So far I have felt like this board is improving my all-round surfing. Using all the board in all the wave. Cheers Zig

Its pretty wild looking. Super thin tail with some edge. I'd love to ride one. I'm looking forward to hearing some average rider feedback.

324331 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 24 takedown Sep 5, 2024 2024-09-04T21:22:37-0400 I'm having a great time on the shape. I consider myself an intermediate longboarder that is just starting to figure out noseriding after many years of practice. I had a breakthrough week down in San O on a 10' CI Log, it all just started to click. I found on that board I really had to be in the pocket, at my weight if I wasn't in the pocket the nose would go under, but a lot of the time would pop back up. I think surfing that board for a couple of months really helped me improve my pocket surfing. I then got on one of CJ's prototype 9'9 carbon low pros and spent a week on it at San O and found that it surfed similar to the CI Log, but was more forgiving in noseriding. It's stable when walking and it just levitates when on the nose. The prototype appears to have bigger rails and a lot more edge when compared to the thunderbolt version. As a result I found the prototype to paddle closer to the much larger CI Log, easy to get into all size of waves. One thing that I progressed on was the faded take off to quick pivot and run to the nose. I spent a day working on it and the board allowed me to do that fairly easily. I just picked up a thunderbolt version 9'9 in silver. The rails are more foiled, there is less edge and it appears that the overall thickness is less than the prototype. I'd have to get some calipers on it to figure out the difference. I've noticed that the TB version is a bit slower to get into waves, probably because of my weight and there being less foam coming from the 10' log to the thicker 9'9 low pro. I got the chance to get the TB version on a couple waves with some juice and it works really well, I never really feel out of control, it just sort of does what you tell it to do. I have bogged the rails a bit more on the TB version and nosedived on takeoff, so I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong in that area. I haven't been back on the prototype in a couple of weeks, so I'm interested if I see a difference going the other direction. What I really need to do is get both boards …

324381 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 30 RockyIsland Sep 5, 2024 2024-09-05T17:48:04-0400 Have been loving my 9'6" poly by Chizza for the last few months now. Surfed a variety of waves on it. Beach, Reef and points. The suckier the wave the better it goes. The tail flip saved my bacon yesterday on an air drop put your foot down and keep the nose out of trouble. Very stable to walk, carves and slashes turns as described and fast. Dosent like being turned on a flatter wave if your feet are too far forward, flat rocker in the front two thirds can cause rail catching so it encourages good technique.

I haven't found anything I don't like about the TB Slasher. I have a enough time on the TB version now to say I'm used to it and can paddle into just about any wave and it's great to noseride. In some bigger surf it's been rock solid and really fun to whip around. I bet if I got back on the CI Log I'd have just as much fun, but I'm planning to stick with the Slasher for Oregon, California and travel. If you have any other questions, let me know.

328759 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 41 ugoinright? Oct 31, 2024 2024-10-31T11:37:06-0400 I've tried a 9'6 Slasher in TB Silver a couple of times. Stable, easy to noserider and whippy. However, I feel like there is a drag when paddling. I think it might be the tail kick, which causes me to position more toward the nose. I had the same issue with the Neo Classic in TB Silver. I'm about 185lb at 5'9. I got a chance to surf CJ's personal 9'8 Slasher in full carbon. The tail kick is not as pronounced as the production version. It was balanced. Felt very neutral when paddling without any drags. Still easy to noseride and whip around. This is what's holding me off on getting the production version. Does anyone else feel the drag when paddling on the Slasher?

I owned a Surftech Takayama (Steven Slater) years ago, and I remember it feeling kind of 'corky' (was a really fun board though)… the Thunderbolt boards I now have (two red, one black) don't have that feeling (as far as I've noticed). The SLP definitely 'whips' turns though (to the best of my meager ability, anyway).

TB (carbon, red, and silver) is closer in feel to poly. It has more float/buoyancy and harder than poly. TB is a big improvement over Surftech.

Had 2 sessions on it yesterday and you can really go for the nose in very sucky sessions and it will hold in. Inspires confidence and will reward if you go for it I find.

Some variation in off the rack poly versions hand shaped in Oz.

Mine was only waxed back 2/3 rds so that tells me that maybe newbies are buying them and catching rails easily.

The construction feels great. I have ridden surftech takayamas several times over the years and they don't compare. *edit* this was meant to be a reply to a comment on the previous page, forgot to quote the comment*

Silver is best for longboards for sure IMO. Unless you're super into HiPro logging and looking to surf big waves I don't think the black will be pleasant because it will be too stiff. Harley Ingleby does a good job breaking down red vs black in this interview. I've time stamped it for you. Silver sits between red and black so I think we can apply the same logic. It will be softer flex which will provide energy in weaker surf which is typically what you'd be riding most days. TB reds I had were for various size Outliers that I had (and loved). I think red goes best for midlenghts, silver for logs, and black only if you're surfing powerful waves or maybe if you're an xl human. That said I've never tried TB black so maybe someone else can weigh in. Harleys take:

I have a TB Black SLP and it's f******g rad. I also have two reds (Parallax and Outlier) and they're great too… haven't ridden a silver, but that's supposed to be the most similar to traditional poly, I think.

How do they compare? I'm wondering if I could sell my parallax and then just go ahead and grab that slasher Click to expand... I had a parallax 9'3 and have a poly Lo Pro no comparison in how they surf but both fantastic boards. The Lo Pro is easily the best nose riding board I have ever had and is a sweet turner both pivot and carving. My surfing has really improved since I got it and have been working on technique. Mine is heavy though at 20 pounds. Has a cedar stringer. It really holds in steep sucky sections on the nose, you can really go for it. I also had a sprout and an apex and the lo pro is so much more rewarding to surf than those two. The parallax is a lot more forgiving to surf and more of a fun board and great in slop and mush. My mate is getting a T bolt Lo pro so be interesting to see how that surfs in comparison to the poly. Its interesting as 25 years ago I had a McTavish Ray Gleave model that had a massive tail flip and flat rocker front 2/3 rds very similar template to the Lo Pro couldnt do that board justice then. Would advise keep the Parallax and get a Lo Pro. Great 2 board quiver.
329326 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 58 Darth Waver Nov 6, 2024 2024-11-06T17:22:54-0500 I have a parallax, red, and a Guerrero, silver, which is probably pretty similar to the SLP. The Guerrero in silver is so versatile as a longboard. Not quite as fast as the parallax but catches waves as easily, can handle pitchier or more walled up waves, and works better in weak sauce waves or the flats. Parallax is totally different ride and like a wave face more. The Guerrero I have is one of the early generation TB well before FireWire. The build quality and feel is outstanding. I absolutely ride my Parallax less since getting the Guerrero.

Stable, easy to noserider and whippy. However, I feel like there is a drag when paddling. I think it might be the tail kick, which causes me to position more toward the nose. I had the same issue with the Neo Classic in TB Silver. I'm about 185lb at 5'9. I got a chance to surf CJ's personal 9'8 Slasher in full carbon. The tail kick is not as pronounced as the production version. It was balanced. Felt very neutral when paddling without any drags. Still easy to noseride and whip around. This is what's holding me off on getting the production version. Does anyone else feel the drag when paddling on the Slasher? Click to expand... I've owned various TB boards (parallax, camper, Waikiki and apex) and now own SLP in TB silver. It paddles nearly as easily as the apex and gets in nearly as early. In my view, because of the thin rails and lower volume tail and increased tail kick it's a tiny bit slower. I wouldn't call it drag (especially after owner the camper) but it's not quite as easy as the apex. The Slasher Lo pro is definitely not a traditional log, it feels like you're riding a performance board with double concaves under your feet, but gets in way earlier than an hp board. But it noserides like a traditional piggy and glides like a piggy all the way to the market.

I enjoyed it for a season but the 9'6 Apex was just too much volume and width for me. Not as fast as I was expecting either. Briefly owned the 9'1 Apex and now regret selling because it was so much fun in smaller waves. It was very yellow. But a sweet wee thing. It all ended too soon.

After reading and watching the supposed rave reviews of the SLP, I was initially a bit sceptical (especially the "best surfing of my life" that comes up each season), …but I think the hype is for good reason in this case. It really is a good all round high performance board that does everything it's made out to do. And a whole lot more under the feet of someone more talented than me. It's shares a number of similarities to the Apex yet it's way lighter, less volume where it counts, thin knifey rails all round and much nicer colour too. It even nose rides more easily than the Apex and for me, my body weight (80kg) and limited skill, the SLP turns better and is so much faster too. My only negative is that it's probably best for waves about waist high upwards but I often log in weaker waves knee to thigh high. So not the board's fault at all. From waist high upwards, I have a 9'3 Beach Pig by Primal in custom epoxy with carbon and innegra rods. Similar to the Paragon but with concaves and not rolled vee.
329429 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 68 RockyIsland Nov 8, 2024 2024-11-07T19:44:44-0500 I had a 9'1" Apex for a good 2 years and couldnt get off it for a while. Super fun easy riding board but very chunky and not refined like the Lo Pro different shapers. Engle-Apex from California Chizza-Lo Pro from Torquay near Bells. Never surfed Californian waves but they look pretty rolly so thinking the Apex has more volume and chunk to suit those waves. Please correct me if am wrong. Chizza's boards shaped for Southern Ocean powered waves. I know there is cross over but I find the Lo Pro can handle bigger more solid waves than the Apex with so much more sensitivity in feed back through your feet and ankles which I found the Apex didnt have. Mind you I am surfing the Poly version which Chizza prefers.

But I guess the shaper would be happy to shape a board any way the rider wants. CJ has the advantage of calling on two super talented shapers who as you've pointed out have extensive experience shaping boards for specific wave types. Chizza could probably shape one of the worlds best soft wave logs and Ryan an amazing super power hp board for the meanest of North Shore days, but their talents find their groove shaping boards for conditions where the majority of their market live and surf. What's your main board now?

330292 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 76 PhilD Nov 19, 2024 2024-11-19T09:56:13-0500 Hey so I pulled the trigger a few month's back on a 9'6" SLP TB Black to replace my 9'5" (2 7/8") pintail fine swine. I wanted the silver for the weight during windy days and I went with the 9'6" over the 9'9" because of East Coast dumpier / steeper waves and I have a 9'8" Bing Continental that is my nose riding Cadillac. Alas only the black was available at the time and I said screw it bc I wanted something that was lively for the days it goes about waist high outside of my continental size range. Short answer: It delivered. I'm 190lbs 5'11" and if you're in the pocket it locks in nicely. You'll feel the lift and everything. It will drop out if your get ahead of the pocket so you'll have to nose ride in the appropriate section of the wave but when you're there you'll feel it lift nicely. Therefor it nose rides in a traditional feel which is great. My fine swine didn't have edge in the tail just foiled out rails and having the little bit of edge in the tail / flip does help you draw out the turn. It's wider than my fine swine in the back half and its 1/4" thicker as well. The only thing I had a difficult time getting used to was the weight and feel in the water of the black construction (or any TB construction for that matter). I am so used to poly that the buoyancy and firm characteristics threw me a little. The responsiveness makes up for it though. I had a larry allison 9.75" volan flex type fin in it and it was good but didn't want to hold quite as well for noseriding. So I put my 10'5" powerflex in it and that extra upright design and little more size holds it in the nose ride better that anything more raked out unless you are smaller in stature than me without comprimising in turning. I can stay on the tip for a lonnnng time on my continental and have a wider range of the wave to stay perched on the nose, but like all big sidwalk noseriders it has a speed governer and faster steeper waves become not as fun. pulling this into that wave type and size it will mak…

331038 17470 New CJ model - Slasher Low Pro 81 Surfer family Nov 27, 2024 2024-11-27T13:36:21-0500 I’m way down the other end of the skill spectrum, …advanced beginner/low end intermediate. I only surfed the 9’6 for a day but it was a full day with thigh to waist high soft waves. The board was so easy to ride. Paddled in super easy, bottom turns intuitively like it was on autopilot, trims super fast and cut back effortlessly. Several nose rides I had were stable as and was easy to make micro adjustments while on the nose. Everything you’d hope for and expect from a modern log. But what I didn’t expect was that when powered up, the board felt like a performance longboard with double concaves and got up to warp speed so easily and then carved turns as if everything in it’s design was sacrificed for turning. I can’t imagine someone having this board ever being disappointed. Fin selection will play a big part in its feel. I can’t help thinking that a little more rake and flex might release the board’s potential. The 10” powerflex for me at least, was a bit too upright and stiff. I’m not an advanced surfer but I reckon you can see it in the way CJ surfs, if his fin was a little more raked his turns would be a tad more drawn out and even more powerful. If you can get your hands on one go for it!
