Dick Van Straalen is one of Australia's most innovative and creative shapers and an absolute legend and icon to boot.

Alkali has a long-standing relationship with DVS, making him fins under the Fluid Foils label with Phil Way at the helm since the early days.

This single fin template has been Dick's go-to single shape for all those years, and it's as close to a perfect all-rounder as you might find.

The DVS Single has a sleek and raked profile with a thin tip and enough base to flow and drive through turns without too much drag.

If you ever get a chance to order a board from Dick, don't miss the opportunity to drop by his factory and meet with the legend himself. A humble, positive, witty, eccentric legend of the Australian surfing culture.
