Common Questions

Dark Arts Carbon is light, lively and generates speed quickly, with lots of pop and spring.

The Dark Arts surfboards are hand crafted, vacuum bagged, 3K carbon fiber cloth, over 2lb EPS stringer-less foam blank, for optimum, flex, weight and durability. The traditional hot coat method is applied to the surfboards, then sanded and coated with a matte finish. Lastly, a 4oz regular cloth is used under carbon on the deck to minimize heavy denting. The surfboards can foot dent, but will outlast traditional construction.
