A classic pintail with glide and superior noseriding capabilities. This board has low nose rocker for steering from the tip and a long drawn out middle with a kicked up tail for cutting back. The rails have a lip in the front to 50/50 pinched in the middle to a turned up roll in the back to help rotation, smooth out the turns and enhance the glide.
Length: 9’4” – 10’ 6”
Nose: 17” – 18 5/8”
Width: 22” – 23 5/8”
Tail: 14“ – 15 1/2”
Thickness: 3 1/8” – 3 3/8”

Just wanted to post up a few photos of my buddy Dickie “The Style Master’s” DT flow.
Dickie has ridden this board in knee high to over head trestles. The board makes smooth turns and trims nicely. Being 7’0″ the board paddles into waves early so you can get a jump on the wave and the crowd. The board is also a quality product. After several years of surfing from Mexico to Orange County the board is still in good shape.
It well known that Donald Takayama is not shaping surfboards anymore and has not for sometime. This board was shaped by Donald while he was still was doing time in the shaping room.

The Dagger is a result of Taylor Knox looking to loosen up his small wave surfing. A Curren inspired outline, modern rocker, single to double barrel concaves to vee, and a flat deck with a downturned rail make the Dagger an incredibly forgiving and responsive small wave board suitable for a wide range of surf styles. We also found the Dagger to paddle very well due to the hidden volume.
Taylor Knox’s dimensions are approximately 5’11″ x 19 1/4″ x 2 5/16″. Order this board about the same length as you are tall.

“The Fred Rubble is actually quite a bit different than my other boards. It has a lower entry rocker and a wider outline. It has more volume than a Proton, but it isn’t really short and chunky like a Dumpster Diver. It’s just a fun board for waves from waist high to a little over head. I’ve been riding mine two inches shorter than my standard shortboard and 1/4 inch wider. For example, my standard shortboard is a 5’11″ x 18 3/8″ x 2 3/16″ Proton and I ride my Fred Rubble as a 5’9″ x 18 5/8″ x 2 3/16″.
So I’d recommend for you a 5’11″ if your normal board is a 6’1″. – Connor Coffin
Features single to double concave and comes standard in a squash tail.
Experience
Ridden by Conner in all conditions, from low tide Rincon and dumpy HB, to the fat faced mushy stuff. The wide point is forward to skate over flat sections but with more tail kick than a Flyer so it stays tight when turning hard in the pocket.
Dane claimed best turn of his life on this board in the Rip Curl Search Puerto Rico contest in 2010.
Super spicy and the perfect board to fill the gap between your shortboard and your Dumpster Diver.

The Fred Rubble is like a supped up Flyer

Rock n Roll is new summer series model developed to overcome all small wave conditions under 3 feet.
A small wave outline that is a fuller and curvier than all other summer series boards in the range.
Super flat rocker with deeper single to double concave to V / double concave out tail, fuller nose, slightly wider swallow tail creates planning speed, drive and a ‘rocking’ rail to rail feel.

A danger to yourself and to others. This board is massive. It’s thick, wide, heavy, and awesome. If you want a board that demands respect, this is looking at you square in the face.
