Delight Alliance Surfboards is a river-surfboard label founded in the middle of the Alps.
In 2007, Dominik Hipp, a.k.a. Hr. Bayer, begun to build surfboards specifically for river surfing.
Sometime, after all his boards got damaged on the rocks, he invented the HD Rails technology. HD
Rails are rails reinforced with Aramid and Kevlar, effectively tripling the life-expectancy of the
surfboards we make.
