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.

Single fin wonder. When you want to get off the long board and make tighter turns and hang in the pocket.

This model allows quick vertical snaps, cutbacks in small and mushy to big and barreling.

Designed for the surfer who is looking for a little more speed and drive that a twinny. Works well in all conditions.

This model is very versatile in any wave size and has the ability to hold in on bigger waves better than a tri fin of the same size.

Not for the weak of heart. North Shore, Todos Santos, Sunset. Donald has had a lot of experience with big waves and knows how to build guns.
