Testing A 4'8 Surfboard?! The DHD Mini Twin Joyride
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- This is the smallest board we've ever tested and it did not disappoint. But the DHD Mini Twin is not for everyone...
Surfer: 5'5 x 135 (60 kg)
Board: 4'8 x 19.5 x 2.75 x 23 L
You guys should do a 'how to surf' series with michael. His level of surfing is really good yet relatable to intermediate/advanced every day surfers so I think his insights into things like frontside airs or flat spins would be really cool.
UP
Agreed but the board he's using for his body is totally warped from an average bloke. a 5'10 5'11 shortboard for most is a stepup gun for him.
You can’t go wrong with Akila Aipa twin fin set. They are truly the best fins out there!
im 5’5, 135 lbs, 54 yrs old, and i have a 5’1 mini twin that is about 24.5L and i love it! perfect size for everything and it planes nicely.
I have a 5'2 DMS Gherkin, I'm 6ft. The thing is insane. Sometimes shorter just works
I just picked up a 5’4 DMS Gherkin last week. The board is nuts. People freak when they see the bat tail lol
@Earl Narajos I swear it's probably the fastest board. It looks so weird but it works so good.
This should've been a surf spot review that looked like a blast
That’s crazy that you weren’t bogging the front rail. Your stance looked way too wide for that little thing. Kudos to you for figuring that thing out. You were ripping.
You handled that board so well I thought Toledo was doing the vid!
Look great fun, loved the review 👍
I feel like it takes a real style guru like Asher or Machado to make tiny boards like that look good. You were ripping though, props for making it work.
MIRACLE! Opening scene, t-shirt on! Of course it's skin coloured
Dude that board actually looks fun asf
Please try a wyve surf. They’re 3d printed and I wanna see how they go.
I'm 6'3 and have a 5'8 groveler, anything can surf if you're a good enough surfer. It's all physics
i’m 6’9 and i have a 5’1 groveler
Mate, try the Christenson C Hawk with the those Akila fins - its a special experience!
Have y’all tested the dominator 2.0 yet or plan to?
I’ve always wanted a board in my quiver that makes me look like I’m taking a humongous shit every time I takeoff
I would love to try this board
my guy's stuck in the past
Idk how that worked but it looked sick 🔥
I haven't watch a clip that made me want to go surf this bad in a while.
At least you look taller
I had that board before & I say the same thing. Upright fins are the way to go. I think it's because the fins on that board are already far back. On the other hand, I can say that I didn't think it was that easy to surf. Not like a traditional Twin Fin. It´s way more performence! So I think that board is more suitable for experienced surfers not for beginners. I´m not a beginer, but a like easy...! 😅
These vids are cool
I have a twin fin with Rasta keels and am looking to experiment with a more upright fin to loosen it up and a tighter pivot in the pocket. Are the akila fins good for bigger guys (200 lbs)as well?
What's the opening song? That wasn't people under the stairs
can't find louis tierny anywhere
some one please tell me what beach that is, it looks amzing
Does someone know the title of the first song ?
Where on earth are you surfing?
Man i wish i was that short .. pumping waves everyday haha
Yew
killed it
Short wide boards are a lot of fun
Michael is the same height as the board
Need to read late 60s and early 70s Surfer Magazine. All done before ..
Can't Imagine Paddling That thing Back out at My local point wave..Muh Back Hurts watching.
Board looks too short for you in my opinion, maybe a 5'0 or 5'1 would have been a better choice... who knows. Nice video though
I'm 5'5 and ride a 5'5, still fun as
Still think the smaller board theory is flawed you need a rail line for better drawn-out cutbacks on these fishes
Where is he surfing
Do you carry a comb in your wetsuit. Like your hair is always styled
the only board you could fit in the bed of that truck is that board
Amazing talent to be able to surf a board like that especially first time. That being said something just looks off... unaesthetically pleasing to the eye. I get the going shorter but too short just looks awkward in my opinion.
I will never find out how to ride a fish backside
Nice clickbait stab, but that’s like a 5’7 for the majority of us.
??? My friend surfs a 4,4 and he rips. Air reverses . Vertical turns and big floats
Its looks like a skatebaord with not wheels on a wave
YEAH!!!! Who's ya Daddy;))))
4'8 doesnt seem too unreasonable given your stature...
Sorry but $995 for a 4'9 just can't be real even with the quality of board
🤙🏽
Next we will be putting a twin-fin set up on a trash can lid and selling it for $2,000. For an extra $8,000 we an add a 5-fin set up.
for reals
You guys got a distributor in Aus?
@@ManOfSauce Not sure if you're asking me, but we don't sell/distribute surfboards. We run boat charters to the Mentawais and North Sumatra.
Can someone like me, fat & 40, try this?? 😃🍔
thats to small. cant go under 5'5 for me lol
Knee Machine
Can you please play the Oompa Loompa song everytime Mikey surfs? Maybe just remix a little for each video. Like Oompa Loompa trip hop one video. Oompa Loompa boom bap the next etc.
Ha. I stopped watching when he said “you wouldn’t want to be a old guy with bad shoulders”! My bad shoulders and I will go back to my mid length.
So imagine a guy who’s 5’11 dropping into “steep” sections
Im sorry for your low view count
Yah.. it's a shame. I like it because it's the only series that follow an non pro surfer and we got to see him improve over the years.
No thanks...my 5'10 is a bitch to paddle as it is.
🤮🤙🏾
I think that's too big for you
