DM3 Surfboard

DM3 SURFBOARD

With less entry rocker than the average shortboard, and more volume under the chest, the DM3 paddles faster and gets into waves without pushing water. This design also makes it fast down the line when your weight is forward. The back half – the tail rocker, volume and rails – is built for turning under pressure. There is less volume in the tail and the rails, so you can sink the rail and turn hard with control. The bottom has a single concave throughout, with the back third of the board being the deepest. This provides lift, speed and looseness. A slight V out of the tail helps the board transition quickly from rail to rail.

"The DM3 is the most dependable high-performance surfboard I own. Its simple, clean lines and down-the-line performance make it a staple in my truck and board bag. Fletcher and I have been developing this board over the last two years and I have tested it in California, Hawai`i, Indonesia, Africa and Mexico. For me it is the perfect combination of speed and maneuverability." – Dan Malloy

"Just wanted to give you props on the DM3. I picked one up from my local shop in South Jerz a few weeks ago after snapping my board in Hurricane Bill and really got a great feel for it in solid 6-8' hollow barrels down in the Outer Banks this past weekend. The board was amazing and I pulled into and made it out of more barrels on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday than I have in years. It was fast down the line, turned real clean, and did not slide out. Great board. " - Shawn
