Donald Takayama DT-2 Thunderbolt Red - 9'0 V64.3 - DT Blue

The DT-2 is for the longboarder who doesn't want to choose between noseriding and real surfing off the tail.

• The all-around longboarder who wants one board to trim, walk, and turn on every kind of day
• The noserider who still wants a board that draws a clean line off the bottom and turns without a fight
• The traveling surfer who needs a single durable board that handles whatever the trip delivers
• The surfer stepping back onto a longboard who wants classic style with modern responsiveness
• The experienced logger building a minimalist quiver around one dependable everyday board

It's the board for surfers who want one longboard they can trust in every condition.

The DT-2 covers the full range of longboard surf, from knee-high to well overhead. On mellow, peeling walls, it trims fast and sets up easily for time on the nose. On softer days, the low entry rocker keeps it gliding and moving through flat sections. As the waves get bigger and more powerful, the board comes into its own, holding a line down the face and driving through turns where a pure noserider starts to struggle. Hawaii's mix of gentle rollers and stronger, lined-up swell is exactly the range the DT-2 was built for.

Donald designed the DT-2 as a do-it-all shape that keeps the speed of the original DT-1 and shifts more of its focus to the nose. A subtle nose concave gives the board lift and stability up front for noseriding, and a low entry rocker lets it paddle into waves early and carry speed down the line. The 60/40 rails blend a soft, forgiving upper rail with a harder edge below, so the board holds in the face and releases cleanly out of turns. A rounded pintail keeps rail-to-rail transitions smooth and predictable and gives the board the hold it needs as the surf gets more powerful.

Thunderbolt Red: Thunderbolt's original construction, an EPS foam core with internal carbon fiber flex components hand-laminated with 6oz and 2oz fiberglass on the top and bottom, built for balanced performance in all conditions.

Thunderbolt Black: Thunderbolt's lightest, highest-performance construction, an EPS foam core with internal fiberglass flex components hand-laminated with 6oz carbon fiber and 2oz fiberglass on the top and bottom for the fastest rebound in the range.
