During the mid-1960s, surfboard makers debated the physics and design needed for the longest possible noseride. Tom Morey introduced the “wing nose,” mimicking an airplane wing. The sloping down rail meets a flat edge on the bottom, creating lift as it planes through the water.

We incorporated this pivotal design into the Dana Cove Noserider, pairing it with a lower, faster rocker and a scooped ashtray tail to help water flow evenly off the deck. The original Dana Cove features a flat section under the wing nose, with the option of a small, concentrated bullet-style concave for surfers seeking extra lift. Some riders love the consistent feel of the concave, and the bullet delivers that sensation.

This board is a product of science, not luck, designed to excel in steep beach breaks and fast point waves. Adam Davenport and his team swear by it, assuring you’ve never had anything like it in your quiver.
