Dylan Shapes Predator the high-performance step-up board built for heavier, more powerful surf delivering control, hold, and confidence when the waves turn serious. Designed by legendary Australian shaper and big-wave surfer Dylan Longbottom, this model bridges the gap between your everyday shortboard and your gun, giving you extra paddle power and control without losing responsiveness.
The Predator’s added volume under the chest helps you get into bigger waves earlier, while the increased rocker profile and refined rail shape keep it locked in on steep, hollow drops. A tighter tail outline and balanced nose template combine to maintain speed and flow through critical sections, making it the ideal board for solid reef, point, and beach break conditions.
