Nexus

Name: Nexus
Brand: DHD

Owners Rating:

The Nexus combines the best features of the 3DV and Utopia models to deliver a versatile high-performance shortboard designed for small waves at beach breaks and wave pools. Its moderate entry rocker and low exit rocker create instant speed and maneuverability, while the single-to-double concave adds lift and provides smooth rail-to-rail transitions. The slight hip in the outline and squash tail ensure tight pocket turns and responsiveness. With medium rails and reinforced carbon patches, the Nexus excels in 1-4ft waves, offering a perfect blend of speed, maneuverability, and durability. Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers.
