I knew that the DK was good in 1-4 feet, but I wanted to offer a quad board that would handle bigger more powerful waves for the surfer who prefers to ride only a quad design. The main differences between DK and DKP is DKP is for all round conditions including reef, point, and beach break waves 3-6 feet.
The plan shape is the same twin fin style as DK (with a wider nose) but more streamlined. The nose rocker is moderate, but with a flatter nose entry to a little more flipped section in the last 12" to the nose tip, with a moderate tail rocker. The rails are low boxy, lower through the tail than normal Simon rails.
The bottom design is a moderate single to double concave, with the double concave going through the 1/8" deep vee which starts at the wide point peaking back to the forward fin area and reducing to 1/16" deep vee at the swallow tail, the double finishes just before the swallow tail similar to DK just not as deep in concave and depth of vee.
