SPEED! It's needed for every type of maneuver and this board has plenty of it. With a comparatively narrow nose and tail and 2+1 fin setup, this board is a virtual rocket ship! This model works on a variety of different waves but thrives on shoulder high and up waves that have steep faces. This board handles racetrack sections with an ease and grace that is synonymous with the Hawaiian Pro Designs Surfboard.

Donald’s ‘all-rounder’. This board was designed with more focus on noseriding than the DT-1. With the ability to do it all, turns, trim, noseride, this board could easily be a one board quiver. Working in waves from ankle high to well overhead, the DT-2 can be ridden and enjoyed by everyone.
