DHD. Darren Handley is a world class shaper no one would contest that, good enough for Parko and Fanning.
Trouble is getting the correct size and shape for you, and not them!

dhd makes awesome boards they are built for high performance surfing, their light and probly all round the fastest boards around.
dont expect them to last to long though, the rails are pretty soft and the glass is really thin which makes them awesome to ride but easy to break. i would look at getting a custom board through dhd though, it costs the same. only thing is you cant see the board before you buy it.

ya i know what you mean i've only taken it out once and the pressur dings are showing :? but i realy like the shape so my next board( once this one breaks) is going to be the same shape but i'll get it custom with thicker glass.

yeh i got the latest parko model customised with thicker glass, its awesome. i honestly cant feel the board being any slower or anything so i would recomend it. i also had it slightly thinner 2 1/16, my fav board at the minute. its not bad coz it doesnt cost any extra
