Thunder Trucks are the lightweight, responsive choice favoured by tech and street skaters — quick to turn, light underfoot, and backed by one of the strongest teams in skating. Part of San Francisco's Deluxe family. At Twelve Board Store and SoCal Skates we carry the Thunder range, in stock and shipping free Australia-wide.
The Thunder Story
Thunder is part of Deluxe Distribution in San Francisco — the same respected house as Spitfire, Real and Krooked. The brand built its name on a lighter, lower-profile truck geometry that street skaters love for quick, responsive turning and a planted feel for technical skating. With a deep pro team and a long track record, Thunder is one of the two or three trucks you'll see under serious street skaters everywhere.
Choosing the Right Thunder Trucks
Match the truck width to your deck width so the wheels sit flush with the edges. Thunder offers Hi and Lo options — Lo sits closer to the deck for stability and flip tricks (better with smaller wheels), Hi gives more clearance and turn (better with bigger wheels). They also do standard, Hollow Lights and Titanium versions to save weight. We can match the right size and profile to your setup.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.

Been running the MTE boots for years lift ops and maintenance, better than Sorrels now that they've got a zip side!

Jones Howler 160W
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!

Nice sized day pack for short trips and staying light. Can't wait to get up in the mountains to use it.

Top boards...Top service 👌
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!

Fat boy from 12 Boards
I absolutely love the bike and use it nearly everyday.
I’m 67 years old but it’s a bit like going back to having dirt bikes in the mid seventies! Also 12 boards was easy to deal with. A great shop.
