CDM sportin’ the Hoplite short-sleeve full this past week up at Trestles. South Swell followed by some NW ground and wind swell blessed the West Coast and brought some much needed relief to Cali surfers. CDM on one of his signature Bing boards puts in more R&D.

Chris Explains:
The Dharma blends modern surfing with the subtleties of riding a retro fish. This board was designed to catch a lot of waves, supplying endless amounts of fun to wave riders alike. Matt and I set out to design a board that was not only fast down the line but also turned with laser sharp precision and could pivot in the pocket. The beveled rail and concave deck concept allows us to keep the volume of the board for glide while maintaining the board’s sensitivity in rail-to-rail turns. The outcome of this quad finned, butt-tail wave whip is hands-down the most fun fish I’ve surfed. This design works great back-side and front and has a perfect blend of front foot speed and back footed shredding. Suitable for clean lines, barrel riding, full rail turns and a perfect platform to take your aerial antics to the next level. Enjoy the ride and share the stoke. –Chris Del Moro 111
