More Information
The Channel Islands DFR (Dane Freaking Reynolds) is an all-around high-performance shortboard designed by Al Merrick in collaboration with pro surfer Dane Reynolds.
Design & Shape
- Outline: Slightly wider forward with a classic Al Merrick hip (or bump) in the tail section, giving it a good balance between front-foot drive and loose, snappy turning.
- Rocker: Features a pronounced "smiley face" rocker with significant flip in both the nose and tail. The extreme tail rocker is built for vertical drive, pocket flows, and above-the-lip airs.
- Bottom Contour: Predominant single concave paired with an aggressive flip in the exit rail rocker.
- Rails: Full rails with a very hard edge that runs further up the tail than on typical shortboards of its style.
- Sizing: Designed to be ridden around the surfer's exact height (e.g., Dane Reynolds famously rode a 6'0" x 19" x 2 3/8" at 183 cm and 79 kg), rather than sizing down as aggressively as traditional high-performance boards
