The Dad Bod 2.0 is JT’s new take on the popular and versatile original. Maintaining the same attributes that made the first Dad Bod model a fan favorite, the 2.0 provides an upgrade in performance and adaptability, thereby setting this design as the new supreme one-board-quiver in the JT lineup. 

Mellow entry rocker generates abundant speed in the lackluster conditions of summer, and with changing seasons, the Dad Bod 2.0 still holds unwavering in overhead winter swells with the addition of a pulled-in winged swallowtail. This board can be surfed year-round with confidence, even when the conditions are unpredictable. 

This all-condition blade is an excellent board for both beginner surfers looking to progress and advanced surfers who want something reliable yet fun that can still hold through turns, blast through flat sections, and generate enough speed to get above the lip. 

Ample foam distributed beneath the chest region allows for easy paddling, quick entry, and rapid acceleration. Upgrading the tail has enhanced the 2.0 for steeper surfing in the pocket, more vertical turns, and fast rail-to-rail transitions.

Almost intuitively, this board goes where you please and with speed to spare. Shaping for the local conditions of San Diego, this is JT’s solution to the board choice predicament we all face before heading to the coast.

We recommend adding 1-2 Liters from your regular shortboard and +.5-1L. more than the original Dad Bod.

The Tomo Vader has returned with the addition of the Vee Quad Concave hull design (VQC)

A fresh perspective on perhaps the most 'disruptive design in modern surfing' VADER V2 is set to make another major stir with  optimisation of the outline, bottom contour and nose entry curves.

This 'ultra high performance' design once again defies traditional logic and offers an incredibly intuitive ride quality, effortless  rail to rail transitions and an almost supernatural acceleration through turns.

Despite the tiny dimensions, the rectangular outline combined with the deep spine like nature of the  of the Vee bottom , provide a balanced volume distribution under the chest for comfortable paddling and great wave catching, while still maintaining a fine rail profile for sensitive rail control.

Tomo strongly feels the Vader2.0 is "the Fastest surfboard design in Modern Surfing" and will level up the surfing of anyone who rides it.

  • For good surfers looking for maximum perfomance: Size Vader V2 at 5-6 inches shorter than customers standing height ( or equal to the tip of ones nose) same volume as lowest functional comfortable level or minus 1 L from a traditional performance shape. 
  • Quad fin or 5 box setup recommended.
  • Best suited for Good To Advanced Surfers.

Introducing Timmy Patterson's IF15 Italo Ferreira model, a high-performance surfboard designed specifically for WCT surfer Italo Ferreira. This board strikes the perfect balance between stability and maneuverability, allowing riders to excel in extreme maneuvers with ease.

With its well-balanced outline, the IF15 features a foiled shape that expands into a fuller and wider nose, ensuring exceptional stability upon landing from radical maneuvers. The sharp edge around the tail curve provides maximum control throughout any maneuver, giving riders the confidence to push their limits.

The board's bottom boasts a slight single concave, contributing to its performance characteristics. The medium rocker enhances speed and responsiveness, while the board's versatility is showcased by its compatibility with different tail shapes such as squash, round, or swallow, suitable for waves from all corners of the globe.

We offer the IF15 model in various sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for every customer. Despite being a WCT performance shape, this board actually has more volume than conventional models. Italo Ferreira's ability to maintain high speed through landings without sinking inspired this design, providing users with optimal control and acceleration.

These progressive performance-style boards, like the Italo model, are remarkably user-friendly, catering to surfers of all skill levels. It offers the ideal amount of volume to catch those extra 2-3 waves in each session that we often miss without compromising performance.

* To find the customers desired volume, some customers will choose to order this board 1/16" thinner than their usual thickness because the IF15 features a fuller rail compared to other standard high-performance shortboards.

Testimonials

When I first got my board I was really nervous about how light it was. Quickly on my first surf those nerves were calmed. The board is electric and just feels so much livelier than a PU board. Aside from the board itself, I think it’s important to mention how knowledgeable and reliable the DA team is. So cheers and much gratitude for your help.

Jeremy Ryan

Great board in a variety of conditions: the board works particularly well with the FCS2 H4 thruster set and even better/spicier as a quad, with rear performers, even in well overhead punchy surf. I custom ordered mine a little stretched out at 6-0 and 37L (I am 47yo and 185lbs with 25yrs of experience) = super stoked.

Jorge

I've had some good boards along the way but nothing that feels like what you get in Dark Arts. The boards are really light but are really solid. Old technology feels sluggish after a little while but these boards keep that spring session after session. I got a custom 5'3" JT Dad Bod.

The Dark Arts Mission

Dark Arts collaborates with notable surfboard shapers from around the world. Set on continuing to revolutionize how surfboards are crafted, our offerings are among the lightest and strongest models available, and excel in speed and durability.

Our commitment to producing high-performance surfboards comes with the opportunity to reimagine their life expectancy. We believe that the board you ride today should be the board you ride tomorrow.  

Faster

Carbon Fiber is fast reacting and creates spring, unlike traditional fiber-glass cloth. The result of this natural rebound is speed.

Stronger

Hand crafted, vacuum bagged, carbon fiber cloth, over 2lb EPS stringer-less foam, for optimum flex, weight and durability. Dark Arts continues to redefine the limits for how surfboards are shaped and constructed.

Lighter

We aim to make a surfboard that feels good under your arm.  Our process has created a product that sits in the lighter category of most constructions available on the market. We’re not just focused on writing a new chapter - this is an entirely different book.
