DHD Board Story: The Phoenix

Episode 6

WSL

Saturday, August 1, 2020

Mick had retired and wanted a board different from his high performance board, an easy paddler for easy summer rides - he wanted high performance fun. The Phoenix board ended up being the board of the summer; it's fun, it's fast, it's easy to paddle - for a soft running wave. This was the board everyone wanted to ride. Mick rides it as a 2 + 1 on smaller waves. Darren and Mick call the board The Phoenix because the DHD factory had burned down on Boxing Day at the end of 2019 but The Phoenix survived.
