Well, the truth is that if you want to surf, you will need a good deal of equipment. And this is where Dorsal comes in. A surfboard on its own though is insufficient: without fin fixed to the bottom it will have no purchase on the wave face and slide uncontrollably. Fins are usually, though not always, detachable; most surfboards have between one and four of them, though the most common number is three. And it's not only your board that must be prevented from slipping; special surf wax is applied regularly to the deck — or upper side of the surfboard — for traction, usually in combination with a grip pad positioned over the tail. Gone, meanwhile, are the days when a bad wipe-out meant a lengthy swim into shore to retrieve one's board. A leash (leg-rope or "leggie", as the Australians have it) strapped round the ankle and attached to the surfboard is now considered obligatory not only for the convenience's sake but also, more importantly, for safety.
Dorsal is the surfer's lifestyle and offers a gamut of products and accessories:
- Surfboard Fins
- Pads, Racks and Straps
