The Dark Horse is the Quad version of the Dark Series that was developed in parallel with its brother The Dark Twinn (Twin Version). Designed as a high performance groveler, the Dark Horse and the Dark Twinn share an identical outline and core components for a majority of the design but shift the wing placements to engage the wing-to-fin relationship and accent how the board performs in that fin specific configuration. The Dark Horse combines Ben Aipa's Wing Twin template, used to make Dane Kealoha’s twins in the late 70’s and a 90's Swing Twin squash template that has been modified for today's surfer. 

Featuring, Mid range rockers, lowered rail apex line, and staged bottom contour blending a roll from nose down into a single concave under forward foot, to double concave deepest between the forward fins, transitioning to a healthy amount of vee/double starting at the wing and blending out thru the tail. The Dark Horse is a lively and responsive board. Proven from Pismo Beach mush to juicy Hawaiian surf.

 The Sting was invented by Ben Aipa in 1974. It was test piloted by Buttons Kaluhiokalani, Mark Liddell, Larry Bertlemann and Dane Kealohaand and it rapidly went through a series of refinements. Mark Richards caught wind of the design and came to Hawaii to seek out Ben. For the Dark Arts collab, AIPA chose to focus on the version of the Sting Made for Mark Richards in 1976. This shape is modeled after Mark Richard's 6’8”x21-1/2”x3-1/4”. MR’s Flame Sting was made with a step bottom which removes ¼” from the bottom contour from behind the Sting (wings) to the tail. Ben wanted to create air cavitation and subsequent lift which meant more speed. This would be the first known attempt to facilitate lift like our modern concaves now do for us. AIPA added a slight amount of curve to the tail and moved the midpoint back, closer to center, to improve performance and the remainder of the board remains true to the original. The black carbon strip down the center of the board pays homage to Ben Aipa’s wide stringer color work, as seen in the late 70’s version. The ’76 STING combined with Dark Arts Tech is bound to be a modern classic! Suggested ordering ¼” thicker than normal board.

High performance/all arounder. For waist to double overhead waves. Developed for Kekoa Cazimero exclusively for construction in Dark Arts only. The board is adaptable from intermediate to professional level surfers

Features: Full/Lowered apex rail, roll-single-double to accentuated vee/double out the tail.

Designed to hold rail in powerful waves and keep control in critical sections, yet  remain agile and nimble in smaller waves. Explodes in the pocket and drives through barrels.

"Kekoa wanted to combine specific feelings from 3 of his favorite boards into a single weapon he could confidently paddle out in almost any situation and have comfort that it would perform.” - Duke Aipa

"By incorporating the consistent technology of Dark Arts with the agility of The Dark Twinn, the rail CONTROL of The Bishop and the DRIVE of a top secret overhead barrel riding board (not to be named) that we developed for Pipeline.. we were able to create the perfect AMBASSADOR of design elements". - Kekoa Cazimero

The Album Fascination twin is great for boards with wider tails, and traditional fish shapes, for down the line speed with lots of maneuverability.  These will provide generous amounts of hold on steeper waves while also helping generate speed on smaller softer waves. 

The Matt Parker designed Album fins are part of our Apex Series lineup. Matt designed these to complement his board designs.

In early 2019,  Album started working on prototypes for their soft top program. They wanted to make a board sub 5’0” that could carry volume but still be a ripper. They made a 4’10” chunky little thing that was a little over 30 liters, with a fishy rocker, twin-fin setup, and a wild double-barrel bonzer-style deep-channel concave running almost the full length of the bottom of the board. Album gave it to Asher and Josh to test. The results were remarkable. It was the first Album board Asher rode and within two sessions the guys had already stacked internet-breaking clips on a first-draft prototype. So it went off to create the mold for the Seaskate soft top, but they knew they had to make a model out of it. Ride it a little shorter and thicker than a Sunstone. It packs a lot of volume, but don’t be afraid to ride it 3-5 liters more than your shortboard.

The Plasmic is a limited and numbered run of 100.
