Owners Rating:

The Ducksnuts is Mick Fanning’s go-to choice for pumping surf conditions, ideal for intermediate to expert surfers tackling waves ranging from 4 to 10ft+. Crafted with precision, it features standard glassing for durability, MF Signature Rocker for speed, and a single to double concave for agility. With medium to low performance rails and carbon reinforcements over the tail, this board offers stability and control in hollow beach breaks, reef breaks, and point breaks. The rounded pin tail with reinforced toe patches ensures reliability, while the option for quad or 5-fin setup provides versatility. A must-have in every travel quiver, the ‘Ducksnuts’ continues to evolve, delivering exceptional performance with each wave.
