DHD Nexus

Info

The Nexus is where innovation meets versatility - a hybrid design combining the rail-to-rail ease of the 3DV with the unmatched speed of the Utopia. Built specifically for beach breaks and wave pools, it’s been tested across multiple pools and a variety of small-wave ocean conditions to ensure it performs everywhere.

Loved by our team riders in 1–4ft surf, the Nexus gives you instant acceleration, easy paddle-in, and the ability to glide through flat sections while staying tight and reactive in the pocket. If you want explosive small-wave performance in both the ocean and wave pools, this is the board.

How it surfs

The Nexus is fast, playful, and incredibly user-friendly. The Utopia-inspired rocker gives you explosive speed and instant squirt on takeoff - perfect for waves where you only get 3 - 5 seconds to work with. The 3DV’s influence makes it roll rail-to-rail with ease, letting you stay tight in the pocket and react quickly in cuppy, short-transition surf. It paddles well thanks to the fuller nose and flat deck, carries momentum through flat spots, and holds plenty of spark off the top.

Where it sits in your quiver

The Nexus is your go-to small-wave performance board. The one you grab for average beachies, summer conditions, and every wave pool session. It sits below your everyday shortboard and above your groveller: more performance than a stubby small-wave board, but quicker and more forgiving than your HP surfboards.
