Where are they made?!?
Edit: it says "printed in USA'. LOL if a shirt with a "Dark Arts, Made in USA" graphic was made overseas. :foreheadslap:
Dark Arts tees = the Album of surf tees?
Aim higher. Rather have one of these

Perfect parking lot flex along with a pair of carbon fiber sawhorses and a plush black changing poncho. So sick, bros

I got a free Dark Arts tee from a boardroom show event in 2019 (i think). It was he first started out. I guess it was destiny for me to have a Dark Arts all these years later. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

What did you end up settling on? I was hoping to see a Vader.

On the other hand, my single least favorite board from Daniel. Just did not like it. Bogged, wasn't drivey, felt dead. I much prefer the MPH boards (OB1, V4, Psyko, etc).
The Hydroshort was? What didnt you like about it? Thanks

The hydroshort is one of the most back footed boards I have ever surfed. Gas pedal when pressuring the back foot. Pumping/pressuring off the front foot, bog city. I love the evo. Wish I knew which of his other models had a rocker similar to the evo. Could not get the hydroshort to work. If you love the hydroshort you are a back footed surfer.

I liked the Hydroshort a lot. It was a good compliment in the quiver. Had speed and flow, could pop a swerve or two like a short board, and also didn't need perfect conditions to go. Still worked good when the wind was up and things were wonky too. Had it out a few times at a very hollow Indo beachie and it did what it needed to do. Would have preferred to have been on my Hydronaut, but I was saving that for when I really needed it as that place was a board snapper. Actually, the DA Hydroshort's 'round tail' looks quite pinny to me - looks very similar to the Hydronaut's outline. If I had space in my quiver right now, I'd love to double YOLO a 5'8 Vader and a 5'10 or 5'11 Hydroshort...

Duffy are you about to yolo a DA Tomo right after yoloing a DA AO

:bowdown:
Let’s say hypothetically if I were to pick up a DA Evo what size should I get. I’ve read here and elsewhere that they work best “ridiculously short” but how short are we talking? The closest thing I have resembling a “normal“ shortboard is a stock 6’3 Ghost a bit over 34L.

I’m 6’1 and weighed 200 this morning.

Looking at the DA website…5’8 - 5’7 - 5’6?

On a forum search I found that @oeste858 had a 5’5 and that dude just bought an AO from me that I replaced with an AO of the same dims.

I’d go 5’7. Tony will for sure have to throw in a shirt then

I’m 6’1 190 mediocre surfing ability. Had a 5’6 Evo and 5’7.. I liked the 5’7 better. The lift due to the channels reminded me of the Plasmic a little however plasmic is better imo.
