NMD boards are made by Mez and his team in Java with some of the best materials you can find, a hi-tech CNC machine and buzz laminator technology. The PP core and PE deck & rails are the perfect combo for a reactive and fast board in cool to warm water and smaller waves.
The shape of the Winny model is more prone oriented than dk oriented even if Dave Winchester seems to be riding his board pretty well in DK. I found the board weird when riding in DK but it wasnt too bad. Anyway, it’s a fast and easy to surf board for prone, it generates a lot of speed and carves well, and it’s also quite easy to spin and hit lips with that shape. I think i was slightly too light to use the board to it’s full potential. I recommend it for bigger guys. I’m 5′11″ (1,80m) but quite light. The length of the board is good if you’re 5′11″ but the board was slightly thicker than the board i usually use and i think it was floating too much for me. Heavier guys would’ve loved it though.
Definitly a good all terrain board for prone guys who still wanna drop the knee once in a while. Really solid construction and long-lasting board.
