AXIS FRANK DART 7'4" x 19.5" 110 Litres
Meet the DART, a shorter more playful SUP suited for a large variety of conditions and ability levels.Ā
The main goal was to keep the design as compact as possible while maintaining board speed and ease of take off. I wanted to have a playful board capable of performing in a variety of conditions and easy to travel withĀ
Thanks to its rocker line and bottom contours, the board accelerates effortlessly keeping the take off easy considering the boardās dimensions.Ā
Another important aspect that I kept in mind was stability. Usually shorter boards tend to be less stable, so I changed the bottom shape to be flatter in the standing area and tail, andĀ increased the tail and overall width of the board
With its stubbier design , the DART feels incredibly nimble while flying, allowing for more radical carves, better foil control and it fits better in tighter bumps when downwinding, and in the wave pocket when surfing.
Because of the added width, I was now able to comfortably fit a concave deck to have a more ālocked inā feel while riding.
You will find some of the same features from the MAKO such as the vertical rails and extra tail rocker for added stability, and displacement hull in the nose section of the bottom of the board to improve glide
and acceleration.
The DART is tailored to short period bumps downwind runs and wave riding but it also works great as a light wind wing or parawing board.Ā
The compact design and wide range of use makes the DART the perfect travel board that will allow you to make the most out of aĀ large variety of conditions.
NOTE: Frank boards have a distinct individual look and finish, since they are hand finished no 2 are alike, these rendered images represent the boards as they would appear prior to that final finishing step.
