Loooove this board.. bought it as a 1-3ft groveller and it does the job really well. I had a machado seaside before this and have preferred the shorter rail line and shape of the DMS Gherkin. Goes backside really good. Paddles unreal. i have taken it out only a few times mostly in the shi**iest onshore slop and i've had a great time every surf. But i did rock up to a point break when it was well overhead and decided to take it for a test run, the waves were fat that day so there werent steep drops but the waves had some power. The first wave i got took off so fast the board went out from under me almost immediately, the things a speed machine.. the next wave i got really low on the board and it went awesome, i sprayed water all over the place i spent 2 hours competing with longboards for waves, sure they got more waves but i had more fun.. Playing around with some fin selections i had the machado quads and they went pretty good!

Great intermediate board for those that want a fun and snappy board. Easy to paddle and stable under foot, this board is a really great pick for those wanting to step up their riding skills.

Great multipurpose board i use for local beach breaks and point breaks. Surfs well anything up to 4ft in my area. Lots of fun over waves and gets through whitewater and fat sections.

I bought a custom carbon wrap and have had it for 2 months. This is my 4th DMS. The construction is bloody amazing and the thing goes like a rocket. Usually these stumpy little numbers are funky on your backhand but not with the gherkin, it’s been sick. Great 1-3 foot groveller. Definitely recommend a gherkin in your hamburger quiver. Scotty

Only surfed the carny in poor weak point break so far but excels in all areas! Fast and light and handles those slow sections really well, love it!!

Its a fire cracker! Really have to start doing my stretches again! Great little board... Making me feel twenty again... Flying around and over sections... Drive from fin and rail... Release that little bit of rail you have and your sliding baby! A lot of fun... Recken its going to be fun when it gets head high.

Best simmons I have ever ridden. Super fun in 2- 4 ft but handles a well groomed 4 to 6 ft no problem. Probably even funner when it's overhead because the rails and keels hold so well through turns you want more face to work with!

I got my Fat Cat in the carbon wrap and so far it has been great. The first thing I noticed was how well made and light it was. I've surfed it in 2-4ft beach and reef breaks. It is easy to ride and feels good under foot. Also easy to turn and get on rail. I think this will go really well when it gets overhead and clean. Very happy.

This was my first epoxy with the carbon wrap. It's very playful and responsive and the extra volume of the Fat Cat makes this board plane over sections. I found it just goes, I have more time to pick my lines rather than focusing on generating speed. It goes well in most conditions, would recommend it as an all rounder.
