The Aussie Made Vessel Dark Horse is a performance PU shortboard that’s tailored for small-to-medium size surf with a wider profile and ample volume under the chest for added paddle power.
Think of this board as a super versatile model you can trust to deliver reliable performance on any given day. The Dark Horse is also more affordable than other models in the same class, but will go toe-to-toe with the more ‘profile’ brands on performance.
Generous single concave flows from the nose to a slight double through the fins and tail, allowing drive and acceleration through bottom turns and flow between rail-to-rail carves. Slightly wider outline through the body and back half increases lift making it easy to plane, maintain and increase speed.
Made at the S-Lab facility on QLD's Gold Coast by experienced craftsmen, the Dark Horse is constructed using the highest quality foam, composites, fiberglass and resins sourced from trusted suppliers. These boards are built to deliver optimum flex, performance, durability and clean aesthetics for your shedding pleasure.
If you’re after a fun, super responsive all-round shortboard, then the Dark Horse is it!
Fins not included.
Best suited for Experienced user who want power and performance without sacrificing float and forgiveness
