Owners Rating:

The MF DNA surfboard offers the chance to experience the same high-performance ride as a 3x World Champion Mick Fanning. Designed for intermediate to advanced surfers, this board features Mick Fanning’s signature rocker, providing excellent maneuverability and quick responsiveness, especially in powerful and steep waves. The single to double concave enhance speed and sensitivity. With stock glassing (4x4x4), medium rails, and a new ‘Tour Tail’ with a slight hip for added drive, this board is built for high performance. The thruster fin setup and white carbon Innegra toe patches ensure durability and precision, making the MF DNA perfect for surfers seeking a top-tier shortboard experience.
