Used DK Quad for sale

A friend is selling his DK Canard Quad 6'0, shaped by DJ Kane during one of his trips to Portugal and glassed by BoardCulture. Board has a grey tint both sides with black pinline and a nice polish to finish. Lokbox fins included.

Board was only ridden a couple times and has no dings or much pressure dents. It's almost new!

I don't remember the full dims but it's around 6'0 x 20" 1/2 x 2"1/2. Plenty of foam under the chest while keeping the rails thin enough for nice carves!

And the price is just perfect for the shape and condition... just 450 euros.

Gone Fishing - DJ Kane Interview

Gone fishing

It’s a big leap from a backporch in Florida to a shaping bay at Moonlight, but under Rich Pavel’s tutelage, DJ Kane has made the transition. Famous for his performance fish, on a recent trip to Portugal he explained the origins of the Swordfish, and why he’ll never be cruising on a hull…

You're originally from Florida, where it can’t have been hard to lay your hands on a board – why did you start shaping?
Growing up in Florida, you have one surfboard that you basically ride in whatever conditions the ocean throws at you. When I was about 14, there was a big resurgence in old boards – Channel Islands had just started making their singlefins and people were starting to look back towards fish. I didn’t know anyone who had one, and I couldn’t afford to buy one, so I decided to make them myself. My parents have always been super supportive of everything I've done, whether it was sports, or schooling, or surfing. I was really fortunate – they were cool enough to let me take over their back porch and ruin it with resin and paint and track foam dust into the house. When I go back home nowadays it's cool to see my old workplace all cleaned up and nice.

What about that first board? Did it work well?
My first board was a copy of 5’8 BAT shortboard that I was riding at the time. It turned out alright. Looked sort of symmetrical. I’m not sure how it rode, actually, because I sold it to a friend before it was finished so I could make another. I came home after school in my 9th-grade year and shaped them for hours and hours. Then I convinced my mom to loan me some money to buy tools and fibreglass and stuff. The next summer I worked as a labourer for a friend’s construction company to pay her back.

A few years later you moved to California. Did Florida not offer as many opportunities for a shaper?
California is the epicentre of the surfboard industry. I decided to move here a few months before I graduated high school. Sure, I could have stayed in Florida and shaped boards – my parents would probably been happier with that – but I had an opportunity to go, and a place to stay, and seeing that I had already been out here a couple of times and seen the guys at Moonlight do their thing, it was a no-brainer. So I filled my truck with all my stuff and drove across the country a week after I graduated high school.

Where did you start?
I didn’t have any work for the first month after I moved here; I just surfed and rode around with my roommate learning all the different spots and poking my head in all the different factories. My first job was at Global Glassing – quality control and finishing boards. Shortly after I was working at Moonlight as well, going to Moonlight in the mornings and Global later. It was really cool to be working on boards for some of the biggest names in the world. Everything was new and fresh. The industry was booming and Global was making 100-125 boards a week, so I was very busy. Moonlight has never been about numbers, more about putting out one-of-a-kind beautiful boards.

Red Fins

A minha DK Swordfish recebeu uns fins novos bem vermelhos! Estava muito branca!

Estou a adorar a Swordfish que funciona na perfeição para o meu surf. Muito manobrável, permite um surf mais nos rails sem deixar de ser muito rápida.



Just upgraded my DK Swordfish with some groovy Red Fins! It was too white!

I'm loving the Swordfish. The design really suits my style. Very manoeuvrable, allows you to use more the rails and still goes really fast!

Grey DK

Após alguns dias de férias com a família e algum surf á mistura, estou de volta e trago comigo a nova prancha do Jorge, uma linda DK Double Bump Quad 6'0 com um pigmento cinzento.
A prancha ficou fantástica, com o cinzento tal como o cliente pretendia e excelentes acabamentos ao nível do melhor que se faz na Califórnia. A BoardCulture trabalha muito bem e o Cyril sabe o que faz com as resinas, mesmo quando os clientes são picuinhas!!!
Espero que gostes Jorge!

Aos interessados numa DK, lembro que ainda há algumas Swordfish, Quad Fish e Twin Keel em stock bem como duas raras Round Tail Quad.

After a few days home with the family and some surf, I'm back and brought with me Jorge new board, a beautiful DK Double Bump Quad 6'0 with Grey pigment.
The board came out great, the colour is just like the costumer wanted and quality is at the same level of those coming from California. BoardCulture works very well and Cyril knows his way around resin, even when costumers are too picky!!
Hope you like it Jorge!

Those interested in one of DK Surfboards, let me remind you that are still a few Swordfish, Quad Fish and Twin keels available as well as two very rare Round Tail Quads.

Xmas presents

O Rui recebeu hoje dois presentes adiantados, duas belas pranchas do DK. Uma Twin Keel e uma (very special) Custom Made Single Fin.
O Rui é um amigo, excelente surfista e um apaixonado pelo surf, por pranchas e em especial shapes clássicos. Feliz Natal Rui e cuida bem delas!

Rui just got two early Christmas gifts, 2 beautiful boards from DK. One Twin Keel and a (very special) Custom Made Single Fin.
Rui is a friend, a great surfer full of stoke for surfing and surfboards, especially classic shapes. Merry Christmas Rui and take good care of them!

Better photos of my new toy

Finalmente tive oportunidade de tirar umas fotos melhores á minha DK, entre ventos fortes e chuva.
Tenho de dizer que o DJ Kane fez um excelente trabalho, a prancha está fantástica e saiu tal como esperava. Agora é só aguardar pela oportunidade de a colocar na água e comprovar todas as qualidades deste shape.
Desta vez optei por um acabamento mais simples, sem cores ou polimentos e medidas algo conservadoras pois o objectivo é experimentar o design e trabalhar nele com o DJ, ajustando o shape na sua próxima viajem a Portugal. Simples e eficaz, é isso que interessa!
A BoardCulture merece também um elogio pela excelente laminação. O resultado é uma prancha com uma excelente relação resistência/peso. Por falar em peso… a prancha é muito leve e quase voava no meu jardim!



Finally got the chance to take some better pictures to my DK. Strong winds and rain didn’t help!Have to say that DJ Kane made an excellent job, board looks amazing and it’s just like I expected. Perfect! Now just have to wait to take it for a ride and check for myself all the qualities of this design.
This time went for a simple finish, no colours or polish and conservative dims because the objective is to experiment the design and work on the dimensions with DJ next time he is in Portugal. Simple and effective that’s what matters!
BoardCulture also deserves a compliment for their work. Lamination is very good, solid but light.

First one

Há uma primeira vez para tudo e foi em Portugal que o DJ Kane fez a sua primeira Single Fin. Para quem não tinha qualquer experiência neste tipo de shapes e apenas se guiou por desenhos e indicações do cliente, o resultado não podia ser melhor. A prancha tem alto aspecto!
Apesar de o DJ ter dito no final que aquela era a primeira e ultima prancha do género que iria fazer, não sei porquê mas não acredito!

There’s a first time for everything (almost everything!) and for DJ Kane it was in Portugal that he shaped his first Single Fin. For someone without any experience in that particular shape and working only with drawings and indications from the costumer, DJ couldn’t do a better job. The board looks amazing!
Although DJ said, at the end, that it was his first and last single fin, somehow I don’t believe it!

Nice work

O DJ Kane tem estado ocupado na sala de shape e de lá têm saído altas pranchas!
A Board Culture está a fazer um excelente trabalho. As pinturas são fantásticas e as laminações de primeira.

DJ Kane has been really busy at the shaping bay and great boards are coming out of there!
Board Culture is doing a really good work. Airbrushes are amazing and glass works are solid.

Get yours!

DK @ work

O DJ Kane já está em Portugal e tem estado bastante ocupado na sala de shape já tendo acabado algumas pranchas. Os seus shapes têm um aspecto fantástico e por favor, não lhes chamem “Retro”. A Swordfish é fantástica feita a pensar num surf moderno.
O DJ Kane é uma pessoa muito acessível e aquilo que chamamos de "um tipo porreiro" com MUITO talento. E se pararmos para pensar que tem apenas 20 anos, podemos imaginar onde o seu talento o vai levar nos próximos 20 anos!

DJ Kane is already in Portugal and has been busy in the shaping room finishing some boards. His shapes are looking great and, please, don’t call them “Retro”. The swordfish just looks amazing, very performance oriented.
DJ Kane is a really nice guy, great to talk to and if we stop to think that he is only 20 years old, we can imagine where his talent will take him in 20 years!

Ainda vão a tempo de encomendar a vossa custom made DK e os mais apressados também podem ficar com uma das que já estão prontas.

Still on time to order your custom made DK or just get a finished one in stock.
