The Rusty Dwart is a highly versatile, performance-driven design built to handle approximately 90% of everyday surf conditions. Its name—derived from Double Winged and Rounded Tail—perfectly encapsulates its all-around capabilities and unique tail shape.
Designed with a high-volume profile, the Dwart allows surfers to ride 4 to 6 inches shorter than traditional shortboards without sacrificing paddle power or wave-catching ease. The board’s minimal rocker and fairly thick outline contribute to effortless paddling and impressive speed across varied wave types.
The rail design transitions from fuller rails into a foiled-out tail that provides maximum leverage for the back foot, enhancing control and drive. The bottom contour features a relatively flat rocker, flowing into a slight single concave at midsection, which then evolves into a defined double concave that flattens out through the tail. This shape encourages smooth acceleration and responsive handling.
The Dwart’s signature double-winged rounded tail delivers a skatey, lively feel while maintaining solid control, even in larger surf. Its versatile 5-fin setup allows riders to easily adapt their fin configuration to match wave conditions and personal style.
Suitable for surfers of all skill levels, the Dwart combines fun and performance in a single, adaptable package.
