THOMAS 9'6 HARRISON Vendor: Thomas When we initially created this model, Harrison had really clear views about what he wanted to achieve, the board had to nose ride, turn, and trim, had to do it all at the highest level and in the most critical parts of the wave, and all with speed. It was a fairly high bar that he’d set for me. He’s picky when it comes to boards, which is why he’s good at giving feedback and getting involved in the design side of things. ‘The Harrison’ is the log Harrison would have if he could only have one - I think he has about 20 but that’s besides the point - it’s his ideal log to cover all conditions. It works well on the points, the beachies, in the wind, when there are waves with power or without… It won him two Duct Tapes and got him to second on the WSL, not bad I reckon. The Harrison’s prowess on the nose far outweighs its width, which has been known to mislead some on first impressions. The narrow nose combined with a generous nose concave and soft bevelled rail gives the design lift and creates suction up the face - which allows it to hang tighter and higher in the pocket. For this reason the Harrison noserides through steep and fast sections better than most other boards. Growing up in Noosa and surfing its fast, down the line point breaks, speed was a major feature for Harrison. But in saying that, the relatively standard outline through the middle of the board and into the tail means that the Harrison is still a great cruiser log. It’s a user-friendly board even if you’re not chasing the most critical sections in fast waves. The design’s upturned rail gives an engaged and reliable feel when pushing through turns. It has just the right amount of tail width and rocker to give it that nice balance of noseriding ability and turning, making it one of the most versatile longboards I’ve ridden.
