The DD2 is a more refined version of the original Dumpster Diver, with a pulled-in nose and tail that sheds weight while keeping the platform where your feet actually need it. The standout characteristic is the amount of curve built into the outline — it naturally encourages tight, committed turns and strong rail-to-rail engagement.
At 31″ with a well-balanced wheelbase, the board feels compact underfoot but never cramped. It's designed to stay on rail and transition smoothly from turn to turn. Subtle carbon-style texture and clean Channel Islands branding reflect its performance pedigree — understated and precise.
Available with CX for snappier rail engagement or C7 for that smooth, drawn-out surf feeling.
