SIMON ANDERSON
It's well known that Simon Anderson put three fins on a surfboard
in 1980, which changed the face of surfing and is still the predominant
design today. As a professional surfer, Simon was one of the elite
in the world who shaped his own equipment. He was always striving
to find the best design to get that edge. Today he still has that
same dedication and energy as he endeavours to perfect his designs.
DARREN HANDLEY
Based on the Gold Coast, the DHD logo has become synonymous with the
area's world famous sand bottom barrels. But it's not just the locals
who crave DH's high speed, lightweight state-of-the-art equipment,
the world's best queue up for his high performance boards. Remaining
at the forefront of design and performance is DH's driving force.
