🔥 THE DARK HORSE – QUAD POWER. PRECISION TUNED. TESTED TO WIN.

When power meets control, you get The Dark Horse.

Born from the legacy of the Dark Twinn, this is the board that quad lovers have been waiting for. Developed side-by-side by Duke during the Dark Twinn’s testing phase, The Dark Horse was designed with one mission: to deliver explosive performance with laser-sharp control — especially when the waves step up.

✅ Why it rips: Every element of the original Dark Twinn was kept — but with one critical tweak: the wing was shifted forward to match the front-loaded power of a quad setup. The result? A more predictable, precise rail feel, better stability in bigger surf, and effortless transitions off the back foot that respond the second you think it.

🏄 Your go-to blade for:

  • Shoulder high runners to overhead bombs

  • Punchy beachies, lined-up points, or unpredictable QS-style conditions

  • The same board that took AIPA team rider Sage Guinaldo through multiple heats across the North American QS tour

🔧 Design That Delivers:

  • Winged thumb tail for tighter turns with added control

  • Full lower apex rails + moderate rocker = controlled speed with lift

  • Heavy vee + double concave out the tail for rapid, effortless rail-to-rail transitions

  • Quad specific setup (Futures) — nothing extra, nothing missing

⚡️ Fast. Loose. Trustworthy under pressure.

If you ride a groveler or a high-performance shortboard, this board bridges the gap. It’ll become your most reliable weapon when the waves are good — and your biggest advantage when they’re not.

👉 Stock is limited. These won't sit on the rack. Add The Dark Horse to your quiver now and surf with the speed, precision, and power you didn’t know you were missing.
