This design originated from “STAB” magazine's very 1st airshow at the WACO wave pool. Stab invited all the best ‘Aerial’ surfers from around the world to showcase who could land the craziest maneuver on a surfboard. One of those invitees was Matt Meola of Maui, Hawaii. At the time, AJW had never met nor shaped Meola a board, yet he ordered 3 boards as he was going to test a batch of different shapers boards at the pool prior to the event. His only requests: NEEDS to GO FAST + Extra POP, while hopefully stable enough to recover smoothly.
What AJW came up with was a 5’5″ slightly flatter yet semi fuller nose for a shortboard, a twist of their Xstump. This surfboard has extra volume in the front foot for stability and has a dropped tail rocker that is more similar to a fish rocker below 2″. AJW added soft, forgiving rails, combined with deeper concaves.

The Alpha Omega is a Bonzer Twin Fin. We built our first one during the Fall-Winter season of 1977-78. It was made for Duncan, and he put it through it’s paces in everything from knock around surf, to way overhead top to bottom tubes at Silverstrand Beach. That board was our offering to the emerging Twin Fin craze inspired by the incredible surfing of Mark Richards. The template was based on what MR was doing, and we combined it with our Bonzer Light Vehicle bottom design. With a combination of jest and bravado, we named it the Alpha Omega.

When Mick and DH were designing the MF Twin they experimented with many new ideas - outlines, rockers, concaves and fin measurements.
There were some mad scientist moments but along the way not only did they find the MF Twin but they also discovered ‘UTOPIA’.
This was the one board mick just kept coming back to... For its speed. It was the fastest board he has ever ridden.
In research stages dh made one for liam, who also praised it as the fastest and most stable board he has ever ridden. Liam rode ‘utopia’ in the us open to a quarter final result. The design is getting rave reviews from all dhd team riders and is going to be a game changer!

Silky smooth, even in junk waves, and possibly our fastest board yet, The Red Tiger is John John Florence's new High Performance Shortboard unlike anything we have released in the past. It is the ultimate performance machine for small/medium sized, slower, weaker waves based on John's simple guidance - make it Fast and Fun.
The idea for this board was hatched when John began riding some different - fun boards -during some breaks from competing. By far his favorite in the last year has been our new flat rockered, Funformance board, the White Tiger (5'6"), and he asked me to turn that design into something he could take back on tour to ride when the surf was less than pumping or on the weaker side.

The XL version is exactly the same, with stock dims built to suit the bigger, stockier surfer, or for more novice surfers looking to level-up in their surfing by downsizing to a smaller board.

- Flatter entry rocker, double to single concave, and a wide tail help the DadBod excel in knee to head high waves, soft or punchy.
- One of our most versatile models considering its range. Ridden 4-6 inches smaller than your average shortboard, allows it to fit in tight places on a wave, while the extra float helps for engineering speed and enhancing paddle power.
Great board for Beginner / Intermediate level surfers to take it to the next level and Advanced level surfers to maximize fun. The DadBod is made as a thruster, but all Dark Arts surfboards are customizable. The DadBod, combined with the Dark Arts vacuumed carbon attributes, flex-back, durability, and supreme weight, make this model a sure shot!
