Ok have a good look at the DT-2 lovely board as all DT's are,also have a good look and a real good look at the DT- pro model,I think this could be the board for you BP.
As I said , I hired one in Hawaii for three weeks,it was a little short and lacked a bit of volume for me 95 kgs but it was good enough to keep my out of harms way The shop only had a 9.1,I wanted the 9.6 but someone else got in first The outline was between performance and DT-2 with low rails with an old school flatter rocker which works well. Now that's just MO

Yes nice stick, Good for small waves realy.

I like that board but in a adverage wave i think it wont be that good. Also imho i feel the wide nose of real nose riders tend to nose dive unless you get on the tail straight away.

This was the reason i picked on the DT2 as it says it good for ankle to over head waves but also nose ride unreal.

But yep your quite right mac, these are the two boards i have always thought about getting.

Yah it was surftech,they don't hire glass boards at KBS Kona Board Sports.
Great place to hire,you can change the board as many times as you like.

Interesting mac, i will have to call in to the shop and have a gander at the in the pink again, but im sure by the looks its a 2 ft board.

Or small wave day board ?? vs the DT 2 which seem more all rounder
