Design, simplified



















Photos of Dean shaping the new race board inspired by modern yacht design.

Recently we've been inspired by the Axe Bow and more current yacht designs. Taking from that influence, we have utilized the same engineering and mathematical formulas to determine the most efficient shape for our new Dean Watersports SUP race board design. By simplifying the overall design and reducing the amount of wet surface area on the front, we've made the board faster and more efficient on the water. We'll finish the new Dean board design using our proprietary manufacturing process, FORM (more on FORM later!). The end result will be a board that is durable, light weight and fast.
