■GLASS SLIPPER
This little speed demon will test
surfers on every level. With a rounded, scooped nose, diamond tail and rolled
bottom, this single fin is best suited to punchy waves with a bit of push. Best
sured shorter in length, this board is truly a blast from the past.

■HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA’A FISH
Straight outta the late 60’s, this Fish is a re-worked classic of Donalds.
More angle on the fins and a thinner-blady tail make this board go faster
and turn tighter than you ever thought possible on a fish.
Now available with a quad-fin set up for those who are looking to really
wind this thing up and discover it’s true potential.

■DT QUAD
Similar template to the Bertlemann, but a half inch wider and with a rounder
nose. This four-fin swallow tail will have you howling down the line and
throwing down carves you never thought of doing before. Loose as a twinny
but with as much drive as a single fin, the DTQUAD is an essential item
in every surfers quiver.

■LARRY BERTLEMANN
This board is the classic definition of late 70’s, early 80’s shortboards.
Amazing fun in any type of waves, the Larry Bertlemann will open up your
surfing to a whole new level. Not just for “retro” guys, these boards can
go straight up vertical and get barreled seemingly at will.
5’ 5” - 6’ 6”
|
 |
|
■DT TWIN
Similar to the Larry Bertlemann, but different in so many ways. The overall
planshape is narrower, giving this twinny a more “gun” feel. Not as skaty
as the Bertlemann, this Twin Fin will handle any size surf it is taken
into. A perfect option for when the points are maxing and going off!
5’ 8” - 6’ 8”
|
 |
■RETRO PIN
A round pintail, single fin version of the DTTWIN. These boards have a
very flat deck, meaning the thickness is kept right to the rail. A perfect
single fin gun whether shaped smaller for super barrelly days, or longer
for those Indo trips when you need all the help you can get. Very pleasing
on the eye and feels even better under your arm.
6’ 0” - 10’ 0”

■FLO EGG
The Flo Egg is nothing like the traditional Egg Donald makes, this
board is a low rail, single fin wonder. This one is for those who like
the long drawn out, full rail turns of the single fin shortboard days.
A throwback to a time when shortboarders still had a log or two in their
regular quiver, but who wanted to experience tighter, more in the pocket
turns than their longboards allowed them.
6’ 0” - 8’ 0”

■EGG
If you're not quite ready to "rip and shred" on a short board,
nor are you apt to "cruise" on a long board, then the Hawaiian
Pro Designs Egg is the perfect solution. This model is an"eggy"
looking shape that allows the rider to trim high on the wave in the middle
of the board or race down the line on the tail, whichever the rider prefers.
This board is also a perfect beginners board because of the overall forgiving
shape that allows for a variety of mistakes without loss of speed or maneuverability.
For a beginner or advanced rider, this board is an extremely fun alternative
on any day.
6’ 0” - 8’ 6”

■NR-3
The NR-3 is a shorter version of the NR-2 log. This is essentially a shrunk-down
longboard, and should be ridden accordingly. Not meant to be only surfed
from the tail, these boards love to be walked and you can even noseride
them! A perfect addition to a longboarders quiver, as the transition is
quite easy from long to short with the NR-3.
6’ 6” - 8’ 6”

 |
■SCORPION
Donald first came up with this design in the mid 60’s. It has been slightly
re-worked and now is basically a smaller version of the Erik Sommer Model.
Coming in lengths from 6’6” to 8’, this board will absolutely fly when
ridden on the nose. With a true “pin” tail and a 2 + 1 fin setup, this
board will perform the tightest of turns when pushed to it’s limits. An
excellent alternative for someone looking for a shorter ‘longboard’.
6’ 6” - 8’ 0”

 |
■BEACH BREAK
This tri-fin model can be described as Donald’s high performance progressive
longboard. For those that believed Donald to be too old fashioned, feast
your eyes on this down the line, straight off the bottom, straight off
the top with way too much speed to spare, model. The hard down rails, extra
rocker and squash tail all combine to make Donald’s most innovative longboard
yet.
9’ 0” - 10’ 0”
|
 |
■KASSIA MEADOR MODEL
Similar to the Beach Break, this boars is a design purely for the ladies.
Glassed a little lighter than usual, and shaped a little narrower, it will
let you perform any type of move you throw at it. A 2 + 1 fin setup, this
board is both high performance and a cruiser all in one.
9’ 0” - 9’ 6”

■STEPHEN SLATER MODEL
When Stephen first started riding for Donald, they collaborated on a new,
more progressive model that would compliment the way Stephen rides. He
needed a board that would allow for a full range of surfing, from noseriding
to straight up lip bashes. The board was such a success that Donald added
to his range. The 2 + 1, round pin-tail, down turned rails appeal to those
who want one board in their quiver that is capable of anything and excels
in waves of any size.
9’ 0” - 9’ 6”

■NOAH SHIMABUKURO MODEL
High Performance Noserider. A board Donald has been making for Noah over
the last few years to use in contests. Wide nose and pulled in square tail,
extra rocker in the nose and tail, this board was designed to excel in
a variety of conditions. Jen Smith recently won the 2007 Women’s World
Longboard Championships on it!
9’ 0” - 9’ 6”
|
 |
■LJ RICHARDS MODEL
This is Donald and LJ Richards collaboration on a more versatile noseriding
board. The diamond tail with the 2 + 1 fin set up allows this board to
pivot more from the tail. The boards outline is very similar to the DT-2,
the difference is that this board is more stable on the nose and is easier
to turn.
9’ 0” - 10’ 0”
|
 |
■ERIK SOMMER MODEL
Very similar design theories as the In The Pink, which is one of Erik’s favourite boards. DT incorporated this idea into Erik’s model which has turned down rails in the nose, perfect noseriding rocker, combined with a pulled in pin tail for tight pocket turns.
9’ 0” - 10’ 0”
|
 |
■IN THE PINK
This board is a modern version of the NR-2. It has a 2 + 1 fin setup, a 60/40 rail and a harder edge towards the tail. These features allow this board to be a high-performance noserider. Brilliant when surfed from the tail, but also giving the rider the chance to perform noserides they never thought possible! This board will get you accustomed to the nose and you will never want to get off!
9’ 0” - 10’ 0” |

■DT-1
The ‘Speed Shape’. The name says it all. Perfect for the surfer looking
for a longboard to handle the juice when going overseas. With a comparatively
narrow nose and tail and 2 + 1 fin setup, this board is a virtual rocket
ship! Thrives on shoulder high and over waves that have steep faces. This
board handles racetrack sections with ease and is one of Donald’s most
popular models
.9’ 0” - 12’ 0”
|
 |
■DT-2
Donald’s ‘all-rounder’. This board was designed with more focus on noseriding than the DT-1. With the ability to do it all, turns, trim, noseride, this board could easily be a one board quiver. Working in waves from ankle high to well overhead, the DT-2 can be ridden and enjoyed by everyone.
9’ 0” - 12’ 0”
|
 |
■DT-3
With this diamond tail, tri fin longboard you will be able to punch through any section, without losing speed and set up for either those tight whippy turns in the pocket, or those high speed noserides. This board is all about flowing from one turn to the next, and as with all of Donald’s designs, the DT-3 is also an excellent noserider. The nose is also slightly broader than the DT-1, but not as broad as the DT-2.
9’ 0” - 10’ 0” |
 |
■DT-4
The outline of this round-tail board was designed very similar to the DT-3. The round-tail allows this board to make fast snappy turns while holding in on steep sections. The DT-4 gives way to smooth turning ability, and as with most of Donald’s boards, this is an excellent noserider.
9’ 0” - 12’ 0”

 |
 |
■NR-2
The retro version of the DT-2, with 10 oz. Volan cloth , single pivot fin and a square tail. The NR-2 is constructed for noseriding and trimming, blended with surprisingly easy turning capabilities. This design is similar to Donald’s Model T with the exception of the tail width, this helps the board turn just that little bit tighter.
9’ 0” - 10’ 2” |
 |
■DOUBLE ENDER
Donald pulled this design from his repertoire in the early 50’s and 60’s.
It is a classic retro design, glassed in 10 oz. Volan cloth so the weight
stays true to the era from which it originated. So called the ‘Double Ender’
because both the nose and tail are slightly pulled in for speedy, overhead
sections. Although this board can be ridden in any size wave, it’s full
potential shines in waves that are overhead.
9’ 0” - 10’ 2” |
 |
■MODEL T
This design is easily the best and most ridden of Donald’s classic retro line. Once you have a ride on a Model T you will never want to ride another log EVER! With a broad, easily noseridable nose, and a wide, surprisingly loose tail, this board is what every one of Donald’s team riders has in their competitive quiver. With it’s 60/40 rails, single pivot fin, square tail and 10 oz. Volan cloth, this board is perfect for surf which is ankle high to head high.
9’ 0” - 10’ 2” |
 |
■STEP DECK
A True classic. This is a design from the mid 60’s when surfing was all
about getting on the nose and staying there. With a scooped out nose, narrower
tail and big pivot fin, this board will have you surfing like you would
never have thought. An ease to noseride and a trimming machine. Perfect
for the points.
9’ 0” - 10’ 2”
|
 |
■CLASSIC NOSERIDER
Pure old school joy. Donald came up with this design in the 60’s when surfing was all about getting on the tip. An exceptional log, but also extremely versatile in any size waves. The Rolls Royce of Donald’s classic longboards. Single glass on pivot fin, 10 oz. Volan cloth with knee patch, and balsa/cedar/foam t-band stringer with high density foam tail block.
