Dedicated Slalom Board (DSB)
Another phrase coined by the Boards test team, this time back in 1989. DSB is used to describe a generation of specialist slalom boards designed purely for maximum speed in a straight line, and consequently somewhat technical to turn. Characterised by low nose rocker, parallel sides and a narrow plan shape, the DSB has now given way to the new generation of 'Teardrop' and 'No Nose' boards, which are just as quick yet much easier to manoeuvre. However, the term 'Dedicated' persists, to describe boards that are very specifically targetted at some (usually competition-orientated) aspect of performance. (1)
