Item no. 44260-3915 · Colorway: C61 black/white
Overview
The Whip D/LAB 2026 is a compact, high-performance surfboard built to light up small to medium waves and strapless freestyle. The premium D/LAB layup combines a responsive carbon construction with a full Innegra base for vibration damping and crack resistance, plus the RMF (Reflex Memory Foam) Shock Absorber 3.0 underfoot for next-level comfort and control in chop and hard landings.
Key Features
- High-performance small-wave / freestyle shape—fast rocker and compact outline.
- Hip-squash tail for tight, explosive turns with precise release.
- Full Innegra base to reduce vibrations and improve impact resistance.
- RMF Shock Absorber 3.0 softens every landing and recovers its shape quickly.
- Carbon construction for the most direct, lively response.
- Multibox (Futures-compatible) fin boxes and Grab Rails for board-offs and easy handling.
Who It’s For
Riders chasing maximum performance in average surf and a board that doubles as a strapless freestyle weapon. If you like fast rail-to-rail transitions, snappy lip hits and confident landings, the Whip D/LAB is the go-to.
Whip D/LAB vs. Whip SLS
- D/LAB: lighter feel, more damping (RMF 3.0) and the most responsive construction.
- SLS: slightly heavier but still light/strong and great value with a similar shape DNA.
