: db : about us

First and foremost we are passionate about what we do. Both avid surfers from the east coast, we are driven by our love for ocean water sports, design, science and engineering. We believe in the opportunity to integrate them all.

Like many experts in the surfing industry, we believe it’s time for change. As veteran surfers who love the sport and want to be on top of our game, we believe that the majority of consumers are unaware of the potential that applied surfboard dynamics has on the sport and on their personal needs. By investigating the surfboard hydrodynamics a true scientific approach towards surfboard design can and will propel surfboard design to the next level of performance and business existence.

Today material development for surfboards and the manufacturing processes are at the forefront of the surf industry, but surfboard shape design is still largely based on the empirical method of trial and error. As surfers today progress to higher levels of surfing skills, the need for more advanced surfboards and technologies on the market must keep pace. We believe the dbs version of the shaping bay, our digital shaping room, will bring about a significant advancement into surfboard shape design.
