Not sure what I've seen Dan riding at the Point last couple of weeks (it's deffo carbon) but the thing flies and he is shredding on it.

It may go from a spine double-concave Vee into a quad-concave and then back to Vee out the tail? That's all i can think of.
Here you go @Retropete "These new rectangular designs with vee-double concave to quad concave, I feel like it is a new benchmark for my designs. I'm just been super excited to release and promote these new shapes. To have them come out in the Dark Arts carbon is going to accentuate their shape and performance. I think it will really blow some people’s minds." - Tomo (Dark Arts Blog Post)
Right.
So it's not quite a "Vee into the Quad Inside Single". That sounded a bit weird. Whatever it is...
I look forward to seeing one in action.
When do you get yours?

I had my magic one nearly 9 years ago now. I just remember that it liked juicy clean waves. It's was a 5'4 and felt kinda wafer thin. Kinda bogged in weak, mushy stuff. I remember taking it to Indo and all the crusty old Aussies giving me sh!t for my board being too short. They were all on 7'0 pintails that were about as thick as longboards. Sure, they could cruise into the waves early, but the 5'4 Vader had a magic kinda pop that let me just sink the tail and then...whoosh!
A few swoops and swerves...
Goodfish on a FW?! Where’s the popout police when you need them?? Just messin….I know you’ve righted your wrongs very admirably last few years
I have no idea. Im confused now! I thought I had a handle on the design features but you've thrown me for a tail spin. lol.
Maybe there is a spine all the way through the single concave?
Check out the photos.
are we supposed to be examining boards with them above our head now? I'm confused
@Goodfish’s Vader looks tiny (but well surfed). Not sure I can ride these anymore or at least I need to be on the RK plan.
Looks like it will go great on the lake behind the boat!I have no idea. Im confused now! I thought I had a handle on the design features but you've thrown me for a tail spin. lol.

Like JDJ, I can’t go (paddle) as short as I would want to on these MPHs anymore
That’s some serious spine.I have no idea. Im confused now! I thought I had a handle on the design features but you've thrown me for a tail spin. lol.

I 'm pretty sure Dark Arts will offer his boards year-round, similar to how XTR did, however I believe Dan is going to do a limited run at various times throughout the year where he will come up (from down under) and hand-shape or hand-finish some boards. There will be a "shaping fee" of $200.00 (I believe) for those.
