Darks Arts EPS and Carbon Fiber Surfboards
- Thread starter bluengreen
- Start date
My next board may be done in White carbon by drew in his specially woven S glass Carbon
100 more than an off the rack big name poly? No brainer.They're doing 15% off the Dad Bod right now for Father's day.
$850 for a carbon vac bagged board?
I saw on IG comments he says the board has a dampening stringer, but not a traditional stringer. Anybody know what a dampening stringer is?
Maybe a higher-density foam like XTR? Might be some FAQs in the darkartssurf site? Or they are really good about responding to comments or DMs on Insta.

They feel great. Like a responsive normal eps/epoxy, but will last longer, IMO
Nothing in the FAQ's about stringers, but they do say their boards will "last a lifetime." Heavy claim.
Are they really making Gremlin XL's? The original Gremlin is a fvcking boat already. Not sure how you pack any more foam into that design.
Pyzel Surfboards - Gremlin XL
If you love the feel of your Ghost and Phantom, but want a shorter, chunkier board for smaller surf the Gremlin is the board you are gonna want! Based off the Ghost DNA, it's the Step-Down cousin to the Phantom, with lots of extra volume packed into a shorter, wider, flatter rockered...

JKB surfs well, rides small boards and has a huge dick so don't mind him
I have two shapes glassed by Justin / Dark Arts.
The quality of the work is insane and these are definitely the lightest / strongest boards I have. They are IMHO on the rigid side of things so if you’re looking for something that ride like an UL 2 1/4” thick PU/PE just make sure you adjust your expectations.
Mine are both Sharp Eye’s one Modern 2 and a HT 2.5. I much prefer the Modern 2 over the HT 2.5. I’m not sure if it’s the shapes, construction or both.

It's always hard to tell just from pics but that rocker does look pretty curvy now that you mention it.
Do you feel like the construction is more suited to something stubby then, where flex is less of a factor?
