Manana Darnelle

The Darnelle is a midlength board, which offers the stability and paddle power of a longboard while maintaining the maneuverability of a shorter board. It is designed to help you progress without the bulk of a traditional longboard or the instability of a performance shortboard.

The 12-layer construction is primarily focused on durability and structural integrity. While it adds a layer of robustness that protects against dings and pressure dents, it maintains the necessary flex patterns required for a responsive ride in various wave conditions.

Yes, the Darnelle uses Duralast technology specifically engineered to resist UV degradation and saltwater corrosion. This specialized paint technology is designed to prevent the typical fading and chipping often seen on surfboards left in harsh coastal environments.

The Darnelle is a versatile midlength designed to perform well in a wide variety of conditions, from small, mushy days to cleaner, shoulder-high surf. Its design prioritizes early wave entry, making it a reliable daily driver for most average surf days.

Because each Darnelle is custom-crafted to order, you can expect a higher level of attention to detail compared to mass-produced boards. This process ensures that the 12-layer construction is applied precisely, resulting in a consistent, high-quality finish.
