The Dylan Shapes RX5 in Clear Black Rail Spray is a high-performance daily driver shortboard. Made for surfers chasing precision, drive, and control in quality surf. The RX5 evolves from the original X5 model, refined with a touch more tail rocker, a fuller outline up front, and versatile 5-fin setup options — making it a go-to board when the waves turn on. Built for speed and responsiveness, the RX5 maintains the proven single-to-double concave bottom and balanced rail profile of the X5, now enhanced with a round or rounded pin tail for smooth transitions and hold in steeper faces. Whether you’re pushing hard off the bottom or laying into tight pocket turns, the RX5 delivers dependable performance and flow.
