Testing A 4'8 Surfboard?! The DHD Mini Twin Joyride

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.

[@matheussantos3127]

UP

[@stephenwouw8624]

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.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

You can’t go wrong with Akila Aipa twin fin set. They are truly the best fins out there!

[@longlinohb]

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.

[@rctrix9063]

Look great fun, loved the review 👍

[@tims6582]

This should've been a surf spot review that looked like a blast

[@sharkfinsurfchannel]

I have a 5'2 DMS Gherkin, I'm 6ft. The thing is insane. Sometimes shorter just works

[@HYFR1]

I just picked up a 5’4 DMS Gherkin last week. The board is nuts. People freak when they see the bat tail lol

[@sharkfinsurfchannel]

@Earl Narajos I swear it's probably the fastest board. It looks so weird but it works so good.

[@ManambeLavaka]

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.

[@paulbaker7675]

You handled that board so well I thought Toledo was doing the vid!

[@bhefy5591]

At least you look taller

[@JeffFadness]

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.

[@chancegehring6103]

Dude that board actually looks fun asf

[@mindhead_]

MIRACLE! Opening scene, t-shirt on! Of course it's skin coloured

[@finbritton0605]

Idk how that worked but it looked sick 🔥

[@JJ-fq6zi]

These vids are cool

[@barty74]

Mate, try the Christenson C Hawk with the those Akila fins - its a special experience!

[@NicaTime]

Yew killed it

[@vmarcify]

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?

[@nicscharing]

I'm 6'3 and have a 5'8 groveler, anything can surf if you're a good enough surfer. It's all physics

[@Michael-cs3li]

i’m 6’9 and i have a 5’1 groveler

[@pickleforknwiggles634]

I haven't watch a clip that made me want to go surf this bad in a while.

[@Tom-qz6yy]

I’ve always wanted a board in my quiver that makes me look like I’m taking a humongous shit every time I takeoff

[@jlentz2348]

Please try a wyve surf. They’re 3d printed and I wanna see how they go.

[@jacktucker2281]

I would love to try this board

[@defdog7515]

my guy's stuck in the past

[@NCsurfer607]

Have y’all tested the dominator 2.0 yet or plan to?

[@joedirt8625]

Can't Imagine Paddling That thing Back out at My local point wave..Muh Back Hurts watching.

[@Nathan-fv8rt]

Man i wish i was that short .. pumping waves everyday haha

[@alikajohnson9250]

🤙🏽

[@danielandersson4179]

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...! 😅

[@runedharma22]

Need to read late 60s and early 70s Surfer Magazine. All done before ..

[@KnotchiGaming]

Short wide boards are a lot of fun

[@daddymcdaddad4265]

some one please tell me what beach that is, it looks amzing

[@everyoneknowsque]

Does someone know the title of the first song ?

[@cwr8618]

What's the opening song? That wasn't people under the stairs

[@cwr8618]

can't find louis tierny anywhere

[@daleharrison5444]

YEAH!!!! Who's ya Daddy;))))

[@mpbuali]

Michael is the same height as the board

[@bodhismith4860]

the only board you could fit in the bed of that truck is that board

[@dudeleboski2692]

Where on earth are you surfing?

[@Shreddiereynolds]

I will never find out how to ride a fish backside

[@freedom_Jesus]

Do you carry a comb in your wetsuit. Like your hair is always styled

[@ThePokersurfer]

Still think the smaller board theory is flawed you need a rail line for better drawn-out cutbacks on these fishes

[@msalvs]

Nice clickbait stab, but that’s like a 5’7 for the majority of us.

[@madscientistdan]

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.

[@Dartht0adally]

Where is he surfing

[@andreabordoni2665]

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

[@You-tu8fu]

I'm 5'5 and ride a 5'5, still fun as

[@runedharma22]

Knee Machine

[@hbr6545]

Its looks like a skatebaord with not wheels on a wave

[@sebastianbearfield9619]

4'8 doesnt seem too unreasonable given your stature...

[@mrzen6891]

??? My friend surfs a 4,4 and he rips. Air reverses . Vertical turns and big floats

[@sumatran]

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.

[@cwr8618]

for reals

[@ManOfSauce]

You guys got a distributor in Aus?

[@sumatran]

@@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.

[@nikol3258]

So imagine a guy who’s 5’11 dropping into “steep” sections

[@hokuinsai4299]

🤮🤙🏾

[@ZTZ330011]

Can someone like me, fat & 40, try this?? 😃🍔

[@ttfactoryoutdoors9605]

thats to small. cant go under 5'5 for me lol

[@charlienapolitano35]

Sorry but $995 for a 4'9 just can't be real even with the quality of board

[@thegreatestadvice88]

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.

[@captaloha808]

Im sorry for your low view count

[@Xainfinen]

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.

[@taradead]

No thanks...my 5'10 is a bitch to paddle as it is.

[@samuelkleos]

I think that's too big for you

[@jackbarnes694]

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.
