DHD Black Diamond This is what Darren Handley (DHD) had to say about the Black Diamond Model: "This model is the true meaning of versatile... I wanted to create a model that would allow me to out paddle everyone, while still having the performance feel in all types of conditions. By bringing the widest point forward, increasing the nose area & dropping the entry rocker slightly, the BD paddles extremely well and is fast off the front foot. This combined with the sexy little round pin which provides hold and smoothness though turns, the BD will handle anything that you throw at it. Can be surfed as a quad or thruster setup depending on the conditions, this model also makes for a handy addition to your travel quiver. Ride it 3-5 inches shorter as you small wave specialist or 1-2 inches shorter if you are wanting an all rounder. Get one today!"
