Owners rating:

The Sandman is crafted to make surfing easier for the average surfer while offering versatility as a semi step-up board for more experienced riders. Designed for beginner to intermediate surfers, it performs well in wave sizes ranging from 2 to 6 feet and beyond, handling all conditions with ease. The board features a flat entry rocker transitioning to a slight tail lift, and a slight single to double concave for smooth, speedy rides. With a thruster fin setup, standard glassing (4 x 4 x 4), and a round tail, the Sandman ensures easy paddling and smooth rail-to-rail transitions. The wide point is moved forward by 2 inches, enhancing stability and performance.

Sandman

Our goal for the sandman project was to develop a board that would make surfing easier for the ‘normal’ person, but also have some versatility to be used as a semi step-up board for the more regular surfer.

Ability — Beginner to Intermediate

Ideal Wave Size — 1-6ft +

Wave Type — All Conditions

FEATURES

Glassing — Standard ( 4 x 4 x 4)

Rocker — Flat entry rocker into a slight tail lift.

Concave — Slight Single into slight Double Concave

Tail — Round tail

Fins — Thruster

Darren designed the Sandman with the wide point moved forward 2 inches and the deck rolled into a sleek medium low rail.

This design provides easy paddling without losing the signature DHD performance. The rounded pin tail allows smooth rail to rail surfing, the slight single to double concave with a flat entry rocker generates the speed that you are looking for.
