Rusty's Dwart looks like a really fun board for small, gutless surf. We know a little about that here.

Short, wide, flat...a recipe for small wave fun on a shortboard in the Lakes? I built a 5'8 twin fish years ago with a wide, straight outline and a swallow tail block about 15". The notes kept on it said something about "What would the ideal shortboard for typical Great Lakes waves be?".

The quad fin Dwart looks like a good one.

Rusty shaper Rick Hamon talks a bit about it here. Click on surfboards/models/dwart and you can see the video in lower right.

And here's a test run in small Southern California surf...
