The Dark Key is a traditional noserider that combines the heritage of Californian hot-dogging with the finesse of late 60s Australian longboards. Its balanced outline, with a centred wide point, offers excellent control when walking on the board, while its square tail and optimised rocker guarantee maximum stability when noseriding.
Inspired by the 'Pig' shapes, it features a slimmer rail line, giving the illusion of a narrower nose and wider hips, allowing the board to lock its speed into the pocket of the wave. The combination of spoon, flat and vee in the tail gives the board great fluidity underfoot, making it easy to transition between control at the back and lightness at the front.
Recommended ribs: 9'4" x 22 7/8" x 2 7/8" - the perfect balance for technical noseriding and gliding with finesse.
Wave type : Small to medium waves
Fins : Single
Shape : Spoon, flat and vee au tail
A word from the Shaper : A noserider through and through, with a real focus on balance and stability. Wide where it needs to be, but still easy to handle. A longboard that bridges the gap between tradition and performance, so you can walk the nose with confidence.
