DMS - Gherkin 0506 (Five-fin FCSII)
Built short, wide and super flat the Gherkin is a fast fun model. The giant crown tail provides some extra bite and hold through turns and releases water quickly. The Gherkin can be surfed super short and will thrive in sessions that usually send you home to grab your longboard. The Injection-Tech helps you draw out your turns, which is hard to accomplish in small mush waves, plus it gives you more response to connect sections.
