Great board!! Has great sensitivity and responsiveness. Super drivey but also releases when you want it too. I use the DHD futures fins and it is my favorite high performance board I have had.

This is one of the best shortboards i've surfed. It's in between a high performance and an all rounder. I would highly recommend this board as a good wave board. If you have a small wave option and are looking for a good wave board in anything from 3-6ft this is a great option. Also the manufacturing quality is amazing, it's 3 years old and looks brand new.

I've had this board since 2016 (writing in 2020). It's the perfect HPSB for somebody who is used to riding grovelly / alternative shapes, and wants to get more maneuverability out of a daily grinder. Or if you're getting a little too old for super potato-chippy boards and pretending you're on the CT. This is NOT the board for pipeline. This is also NOT the first board somebody should try to surf on. For comparison, previous board was sized about +1" and -1.5L, with slightly more pinched rails. The DX1 floats better, paddles easier, bogs rail less, and is generally easier to generate speed on *for somebody who is not a pro skill level*. And for fins, this board actually got me to like more rake/sweep instead of having upright/pivot fins. In FCS this would be like a Carver or Accelerator (ie. Mick and Julian's templates). Hopefully this helps somebody

I have actually ordered 2 of these boards. The 1st one was 6'0 x 19 x 2 3/8 - 28.5 Litres (stock dimensions) and it was great but I just felt like I need that slightly extra length which is why I re ordered it as 6'1 x 19 x 2 3/8 - 28.7 Litres. My reason for the extra length was because the nose and tail of this board is quite refined / pulled in, for me I felt I needed some extra width around the nose without compromising on performance which is why I re ordered with 1 inch longer than standard dimensions. I brought this board with the purpose of surfing it in larger barreling waves (over head high) and it performs really well in those conditions. Can take a late drop and also scoops nicely into the pocket on steeper waves. Also holds really well in the barrel. This board really comes alive and shines when it's pumping!

I really enjoyed this board. It's a great high performance shortboard for waist high to a little overhead in a wide range of conditions. I found this board goes well in both hollow waves (up to a little overhead) and smaller average waves (as long as there is a bit of punch behind them). If the waves are really fat or really weak the board won't really come to life as this model was designed to be surfed in decent to pumping conditions. The board performed well in beach breaks and point breaks and has mainly been surfed at Uluwatu, Duranbah and all Gold Coast point breaks and performed well in all those waves. Overall it's a more user friendly performance shortboard that's pretty forgiving and will really allow you to lay into some turns. My favourite fin setup for this board was the Futures R6 template but the JJF and Jordy Smith templates also work well!

Excellent board. Needs good waves where it comes alive. What is sacrificed in stability and paddle power is gained threefold in speed and maneuverability.

Fast and responsive board with a really lively feel, that particularly comes alive in hollow or bowly waves. I ride it as a step up from a dumpster diver. The diver responds better to flat waves, but as soon as there is a bit more shape the project 15 next gen feels way "sharper" and faster.
