***SURFBOARDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR IN-STORE PICK-UP ONLY***
A mini-glider with Santa Barbara point style sensibilities. The ThickLizzy is a long-time favorite and can be described as a more finely-foiled approach to the genre; Less volume in the nose, tail and rails gives the Lizzy a more defined focal point mid-board than lots of other more specialized Lovelace designs. She’s a trusty friend and happy to glide around in the small stuff with ease, as well as be pushed in solid stuff.
ThickLizzy numero uno, scanned from the magical experiment that Trevor Gordon has ridden into the ground. The experiment that became one of the most notorious quiver-killers on the California coast, shaped in 2015 as a compliment to the v.Bowls, looking for something more suited to flatter faced waves and easy glide - walkable and capable in a super wide variety of conditions, the Thicklizzy very quickly became Lovelace’s most popular shape and has proven itself extremely adaptable for surfers of all types. Set up as either a single fin (Ryan’s pick) or in it’s original three-fin bonzer style that Trevor prefers, these things make trim speed when you thought there couldn’t be any left.

Original description from Ryan’s blog in 2015:
”My favorite round pin template used as the nose and tail template to make an identical 50/50 outline. glider style 70/30 down rails, triplane bottom with deep double concave through the tail. Was going for a mini-glider kinda thing, with lots of hold and bite on the rail to handle steeper sections - have always liked more foiled out glider type boards, and this proved a good time to explore one. Vs. the v.bowls - Thick Lizzy rides high on the water's surface and planes out faster in lower-quality surf; can also be cheater-fived for miles. We've found it to be a good compliment to the v.bowls as a longer alternative with a different approach to rail line and foil distribution.”
