34″ Connor O’Leary THD – Smoothstar

Connor O’Leary is a WSL world tour surfer who finished 2022 in 9th position. He is born and raised in Cronulla but represents both Japan and Australia while competing. Standing at 6″1 and a goofy foot, he throws some serious spray and is known to have one of the best backhand surfing attacks in the world. He is best know for training and putting 110% in and out of the water. He’s an all round nice guy and has plenty of time for the groms and big groms.

The 31″ Connor O’Leary Pro model comes with the new SmoothStar Thruster D technology. The Thruster D is the latest in precision engineering that gives surfers the ultimate surf feeling with 15-12% more hold and drive through your surf turns.

Standing at 6’2″, the 31″ Connor O’Leary model is a scaled down version of his 34″ pro model board. SmoothStar inverted the graphic colours making it distinctly different to the model that was built around Connor surf stance. The 31″ smaller size gives frothing groms and surfers of smaller heights the ability to ride Connor’s model. The Connor O’Leary model also comes with medium wheels on the front and back.
