The DT-1 is a keeper. After more than six months riding the board, I feel I've got a decent handle on the board.
1. It rides well in punchy beachbreak and reef breaks.
2. It doesn't ride well in mushy surf
3. It is a nice section connector
4. It is fast
5. It might do well at Salt Cfreek, but I haven't ridden it there yet
7. It has a narrow nose.
8. Ive got a Guy Takayama Orca 8-inch fin in the box right now. I've experienced near spinouts on cutbacks, but that might just be due to the fin so far up in the box. I'll pull the fin back a few inches to get a better guage on how it responds with the board next time Church is overhead
My friend Trace watched me nearly spin out on a cutback on an overhead wave at Church. I recovered and completed the turn, but felt the tail area a bit too loosely. Fin adjustment should fix that.
