The Proton by Dane Reynolds

Sima Award
Proton – “Voted 2009 SIMA Board of the year”

Model Description

Voted the 2009 board of the year by SIMA, The Proton is a result of Dane’s design work in late 2007. Still Dane’s go-to board in good pockety surf, the Proton is the choice for advanced surfers everywhere.

Original and truly unique from any other board in our line, this board has continuous rocker throughout. The bottom consists of a deep single concave, and full rails. Dane normally rides a 2 3/8″ and orders his Protons at 2 1/4″, so order yours a 1/8″ thinner.
