Hi Dave,
Thanx for building this great board.. In the usualy small and gutless surf here in the Netherlands this puppy just goes sweet! I bought it last october after I've had testdriven a DQ6 and a DK6. Frank from CellBlock in Utrecht pretty much challenged me into trying one. He figured I would get 20% more waves and way more fun than on my standard shortboard(6'2 18-1/2 2-1/2) in the dutch surf. Too bad he was wrong.. I actually get almost 50% more waves and heaps more fun than ever imagined just by changing boards.. so it's working out realy well. While testing I found the DQ to responded better to the smaller wave conditions than the DK which needs more steepness on the face to accelerate. The DQ allows you to catch a wave early and setup a good line down the face and accelerate smoothly. All in all heaps of fun in a tiny package :-)
Grtz,
Carlo Kuip
Board#8247 DQ7
