5. DHD Sweet Spot 2.0 Review
The Sweet Spot has evolved from the first model used by Mick Fanning until today. Some of the changes made to this model are that the tail and the fin area are reinforced. Also the aesthetics of its colors and logo are a plus.
The sensations that this board has given us after having surfed with it have been good. If there is something we want to highlight, it´s that the Sweet Spot 2.0 DHD is fast and adaptable to the most demanding of conditions. This board lets you get the most out of your most radical surfing, making vertical maneuvers thanks to its rocker. Its double concave will help you control it’s the boards velocity.
If your next Surftrip is in the Maldives, Indonesia or you want to surf this autumn in the Cantabric when the situation gets serious, this is your board. An incredible option for surfers at an advanced level and waves that are more than 1 meter. In this photo we can see Asher Pacey surfing in the Maldives with a Sweet Spot.
