Overview

The Darkside is our most highly tuned performance shortboard, built for maximum speed, drive and responsiveness in quality waves from 3--12ft faces. A fast, flowing rockerline creates instant acceleration and effortless projection, while the round square tail adds release and control through powerful turns. Finished in our PU Polytech construction, the Darkside delivers a lively flex pattern and rapid response that makes every turn feel exciting, while retaining the familiar feel of a traditional PU surfboard. Features Speed Without Effort Fast, flowing rocker lines create instant acceleration and effortless down-the-line speed, helping generate speed naturally without needing to constantly force the board through sections. Maximum Drive With Instant Release The rocker, concaves and tail design work together to create strong drive and projection off the bottom, while still allowing quick release through the lip and tight directional changes. Ultra Responsive Finely tuned rails and performance-driven concaves deliver immediate feedback underfoot, giving the board a highly responsive and connected feel through every turn. Everyday to High Quality Waves Designed to perform across a wide range of conditions, from everyday beach breaks to quality reefs and point breaks in waves from 3--12ft. PU Polytech Construction Our PU Polytech construction combines rapid flex with fast torsional response, delivering a lively, reactive feel with the familiar control and feedback of traditional PU boards.
