Jayce Tests The New DHD Eclipse & Utopia in Cornwall

We caught up with Jayce Robinson as he put his new DHD Eclipse and Utopia through their paces at a local Cornish beach break. (Filmed in Autumn 23) The Eclipse is a highly refined small to medium wave board that pushes the limits of what is possible in smaller weaker waves. The Utopia is a performance shortboard designed for aggressive high-performance surfing in everyday waves.

I bought an Eclipse, rode it twice & sold it. I rode it in 1-3ft Sydney beach breaks with both quad & thruster set-up as recommended. The fin placement is weirdly compressed, the board was slow & the tail too wide for aggressive pocket surfing. Like the CI Andino fish, this board did not - for me - do what it said on the box. I have been surfing for 40yrs & am pretty competent. Fanning could make an ironing board look good at Snapper..

You can ride anything at 5'6" and it will rip. Even a fence paling or toothpick. You just need a rider about 5'6" tall and weighing around 65kg. Mick F is thin and light and like another guy said below, QLD waves are easily rippable and you can get speed going quickly. Crap waves in Sydney certainly aren't QLD.
