Whats your DD

Last five sessions have been on four different boards ranging from
6’9” to 5’6”. No complaints, the surf has been really fun and I like riding
different boards depending on conditions and spots, however I would like to
spend more time dialing in my newer stretch 2win.

You guys should look into a Giggle X....
I have one that's not exactly getting a lot of use right now...
It was 6-0 Dark Arts AP, now its 6-0 XTR AP XL. A little wider and a little thicker.

Hey Clamsmasher, what sort of DD waves are we talking here?
I have a 6’3 x 19 1/2 x 2 7/8 39L DS. It would make a good DD if we’re talking HH with a bit of push. Maz can chime in as he might feel differently but I find it kind of slow and stiff in anything much smaller than that especially if it’s soft. The vee bottom (& rocker) feels like it kind of drags. The board absolutely transforms once there’s a little push. Jeez they go great in chop too.
Toobz hit the nail on the head. Here's my take:
Got the board for OH powerful waves with lots of chop, and it's perfect for that. It slices into devil wind takeoffs with ease, and when there's a bit of power, it truly comes to life. Great barrel board. Great chop board. And I'd take it to Indo/Hawaii in a heartbeat. Good quad fins make it come alive compared to a thruster setup.
Since moved to long, smooth left points, and boards with some concave go better here. That said, my 6'10 DS is the perfect board here when it's solid.
If you're thinking DD for Margarets area, I'd say that'd be a perfect match.
It feels like riding a board with plush long-travel suspension. No chatter, and no getting bucked around, just smooth.

Channel Islands twin pin - love the volume and length at my age. Loose enough that you can ride it a bit longer.
5'10" Vernor Mini Simmons in PU.
It's my go to in 99% of my seshes.
Use the epoxy version when it's absolutely gutless.

Wait. We’re allowed to have two same boar in different constructions?? #justified
Hey mate
If you're after a short/high volume DD, the Wacko might fit the bill. More of a normal, squirty shorty feel than the DS.

Toobz and Maz, thanks for that. Maybe I’ll go a 6’6” for next Indo trip rather than a dd..we really don’t get the waves for them in Perth I think...
