Nice looking board Lacey. Are you going to fill us in on some stats and when is the maiden voyage? No step rail either.

board features massive nose concave with a thin tip, flat deck, chambered rail and hp thin tail.

the nose takes a bit of getting used to and dale told me this would be the case

went out tonite at the alley 3 to 4 ft low tide glassy- very much suited to shortboards.

didn't get a lot of waves- old leggie broke at the board end, tied that up then the leg end broke so more swimming than surfing and was over finned with the s9 side fins

very fast speedy board with a shortboard rail feel. i would have no second thoughts about going for barrels on this board - the feel and hold is so positive.
i can't say that about most sups i've surfed

Awesome shape. Was this one specifically for good waves Lacey? Looks like you could turn pretty hard at speed which I am finding difficult on my current board.

Just wait until thursday you should be able to try some toys
Plus we just did a 25km DW this morning with dale swaping boards and I can tell you the new proto 14DW is awsome to paddle on runners .

What is the effect of the concave nose? I've been thinking about what I want as a good wave board and I think your onto something here. Spent almost three hours trying to come out of the barrels at Kirra today and I am sure a board like this would have come in handy. Maybe a touch of talent would have helped as well.

Lacey that looks a bit different to the usual DC boards. I'm noticing a fuller nose and a rounded tail. I could be wrong as it may be the photo.

Thanks for the photo history some great sticks there true innovator some of those grips we're unreal .
That DW looks great shame the GT stripes will get covered up that will stiffen her up a bit
Lacey you see that photo of the red 8/8 did you cry a bit lucky your still round
Thanks

Everytime I see a DC it reminds of the time, just over a year ago, when I walked into a SUP shop along GC Hwy (which I now know was Greenline) and asked the guy "What does DC stand for ?". I was on a short family holiday and had only been SUPing for a month. Love the GC and now saving for a DC14.

I've only ever owned DC SUPs and am very happy to have supported Dale, as a local designer, over the years.

It's amazing how Dales shapes have evolved over the years. Here are 2 pics of my 2008 and 2010 DW models that show a bit of that evolution.





This new 2012 design looks a whole lot different to where we have come from. Its great to see evolution continue. Hopefully I will get a spin on this new one soon to see how it performs for myself.
