The Designated Driver

The Designated Driver

Model Overview

The Designated Driver is a fast, flowing performance twin pin built for average-to-excellent waves.

With most of the width under the chest and a teardrop-style outline, it paddles well, carries speed naturally and holds through steeper sections. The refined tail gives it more control than a traditional fish, making it brilliant for barrel riding, long arcing turns and committed surfing both forehand and backhand.

It can also be scaled into longer versions and is best ridden slightly more buoyant than your standard board.

Stevie’s Notes

The Designated Driver gives you the speed and freedom of a twin fin, but with enough hold and control to surf proper waves.

It works in everything from beach breaks and point waves to powerful, hollow surf. It is smooth, fast and reliable, with the paddle power to get in early and the control to push hard on the rail.
