Why the MF DNA Dominates at Bells 🔔

Hey crew,

With the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach kicking off tomorrow, I thought it was the perfect time to talk about a board that’s had a huge impact out there—the MF DNA.

Between Mick and Steph, that model’s helped rack up 13 Bells trophies—8 for Mick, 5 for Steph. It’s built for that long, running wall—plenty of drive, hold, and just the right amount of spark when you need it. At last count, I think I’ve had 14 or 15 wins at Bells across all the boards I’ve shaped... the DNA’s got to be one of the most winning models in modern surfing. 

I recently caught up with Mick for a quick chat about why the DNA works so well down there. You can check out the edit above, or head to the DNA Page to order one yourself. 

This year, Molly, Connor, LOB, Joel, and Isabella all have DNAs in their Bells quiver. Ethan’s sticking with the Juliette—it’s been dialled in perfectly for him.

Excited to see what the team can do this week. Bells is always a special one.

Cheers,

Darren
