The post-retro concept of the Deano is an invitation to revisit all the longboard classics!

Exploring the timeless repertoire of surfing with finesse, performance and elegance will be the captivating mission of your sessions with the new Deano 9’6.

Featuring excellent glide properties, this shape with thin rails and post retro lines is surprisingly maneuverable given its lift. The Deano is more than just a reworking of existing lines, it takes the concept of a retro style of glide to a whole new level.

You can noseride, but without slowness. You can stall and pivot, but without heaviness. This is where the magic of this shape that glides in and on the water lies.

Defining style with flow and rhythm

Flow is very often linked to a certain aesthetic of movement, to the way grace translates into actions to the rhythm of a wave.

Moving forward, gliding at the nose, moving backwards, turning … seamlessly, without altering the glide. This is a definition of flow, and that’s the technical aspect of this longboarding exercise. Giving the impression that you can move, place yourself and move again, effortlessly, without ever breaking the flow unless intentionally.

This is what the Deano offers, with totally relaxed surfing, a glide without resistance and optimum management of the natural speed of this shape. All you have to do is to place the board in the on the perfect line and let it do the job, flying over sections, doing nothing but enjoying the ride.

Ready to get rid of all the superfluous, all parasitic movements, to simply slow things down and get back to basics ? You’ll realize just how much the shape of a board can influence the way you surf, sometimes even dictate your style: that’s what the Deano is all about.
