DIME

- Shortboard -

DESCRIPTION

Small change makes a big difference. The Dime is a diamond tail that bridges the gap between groveling and performance surfing, making it the perfect daily driver. An easy paddling and stable board that can channel snappy inputs for effortless speed and flow into aggressive turns with good release. It's a perfect groveler for average days without altering your style and holds its own when the swell fills in.

Shaper's Notes:

Inspired by old-school outlines but built with modern refinements, the Dime is an excellent wave catcher with a comfortable planing surface that doesn't sacrifice drive or responsiveness.

Diamond corners facilitate a higher release point above the tail for extra snap.

Single concave center for speed flows into an early double concave with vee ahead of fins for efficient flow through diverse fin options. Double fades to vee through fins for easy rail-to-rail pivot despite the wider tail.

Moderate rocker overall with a late entry flip to prioritize speed, paddle ease, and a little extra tail kick for better performance in softer surf and to maintain a tight rail-turn radius despite the wide tail.
