Will Bond - Thanks for your question. The biggest difference is going to be the bottom contours: The Dwart has a Single-to-double concave whereas the Happy Shovel has Double-concave/vee that starts about 12" from the nose and carries all the way through the board. Both boards have low rocker. The Dwart has a more pulled in tail with the wings that step it down, and also a bit more pulled in the nose. The Dwart has a slightly fuller rail than the Happy Shovel. Hope this helps! -Chris Stellato REAL Watersports
Antonio - Thanks for your question. The outline on the Dwart is almost the reverse of the Weekend Warrior. While the Dwart is stubby in the nose and wings down to a tighter tail, the Weekend Warrior is pointy in the nose and opens up to a very wide tail. The Dwart is going to do slightly better in smaller-average waves with the extra width and paddle power up front. Hope this helps! - Chris Stellato REAL Watersports
Thank you for responding to my comments...you guys are very professional and im sure your business is doing well...my question is this...the rusty dwart and smoothie seem so similar...what are the main differences between the two. I would suspect the smoothie is more performance orientated and better for the more experienced surfer?
Actualmente tengo una de 6' y llevo 2 meses practicando con ella. Ha sido una de las mejores decisiones el comprarla, mido 1.71 y peso 72 kg. Gracias por el review
I'm highly unlikely to go vertical or even get barreled TBH. I'm mostly looking for something that can get me into waves easily and early. I want something short-ish and easy to turn, but I'm probably not getting vertical ever at this point. Would this be good, or would I be better off with a standard fish?
Stan, this would work, but it sounds like a fish would be a ton of fun for you. If you're just looking for some fun, smooth bottom turns, and a good amount of volume in a smaller package to get into waves early, a fish is always a great option.
+Aniss EMS - Thanks for your question. 5'10" Dwart would put you around ~36.3L volume which would be a good choice for you, however that size is custom order only right now so would come with a lengthy wait time. For a good substitute that is in stock and ready to surf/ship today, check out a Rusty Heckler 6'0" or a Rusty Smoothie 6'1".

Hi there! I love your videos! I am a beginner/Intermediate at the moment so starting to go down the line and I was looking at the Dwart or Dwart too! I’m 154lbs for 5’11 .. what would you recommend?? Cheers!
Hey Jimmy, thanks for your question. What other boards have you been surfing? Have you surfed any short boards or just longboards? If I know what you are used to I will be able to offer a better recommendation. Cheers - Ashlon
Starting with a 7’6 as my first surfboard.. I’ve tried a 6’8 x18 1/2x2 1/2 from my friend but wasn’t having enough thickness and volume! So I could stand on it but had a hard time to paddle and have fun!
I've been using a 7ft fish, looking to start riding shorter boards. Would this be a good option for an intermediate surfer? I am 6'0 and weigh 64 kilos.
Sebastian, thanks for reaching out! This board may not be a great board for that. Check out the ...Lost Puddle Jumpers around 6'0". That board would be perfect for what you're looking for and still be enough board that the transition from that size fish won't feel weird. www.realwatersports.com/collections/lost-puddle-jumper-hp
Hy mate, I buy recentlly a Rusty Dwart in trosion spring tecnology and I have some questions? whats kind of fins is good for this surfboard? I buy the FCS Mark Richards twin + stabiliser fins. Is a good idea? I buy this surfboad specially to smaller waves from Brazil (almost flat waves when another surfboards don't work well). Is this board good for it? I'm 1,86meter and 75kg and I buy a 5'8'' with 30 liter and I'm a itermedium to advanced surfer. Thanks and congraduations.
Nicoli, that would be a good board for that type of wave. For your fins you should try a set of Large MB PC Carbon Tri/Quad set so you can try them as a thruster or as a quad! www.realwatersports.com/collections/fins/products/fcs-ii-mb-pc-carbon-tri-quad-fin-set-blue-large
Hey Maile, We really love the Smoothie over here, it has the same ease of use as the Dwart but covers a wider range of conditions. Check out our review here: www.realwatersports.com/surfing/surfboards/rusty/smoothie
Thanks! I'm currently on a 5'4 CI pod mod 28.5 liters. I am 5'8 and 167 lbs. What do you guys recommend? I tend to ride shorter length boards. I was leaning on getting the 5'6 smoothie.
That would be a good call, The new Rusty Torsion Spring technology is worth checking out, it has great lateral flex for speed out of turns and they are built really well www.realwatersports.com/rusty-smoothie-torsion-spring-5-6
GUYS!! I just ordered the new Dwart Too in Torsion Spring from y'all. I'm the one that bought the 6'1 FCS model. Myself, I'm 6ft 170 lbs and surfing mushy Texas surf. Y'all think this is OK for me? I was really hoping for a 5''11 but no luck with whats available right now. Thanks! BTW I'm a life long surfer but being 36 I'm not in the best of shape anymore haha! I would love something that still paddles great while being able to turn!
+Ryan The Rock If you're using stock dimensions (listed here: www.realwatersports.com/surfing/surfboards/rusty/dwart), then a 6'5" should work well for you. Hope this helps ! - Chris Stellato +real watersports
+Jonathan Zielke for your weight the 5'6" is plenty of floatation and no need to go bigger in this situation so stick with the 5'6". Also check out the Rusty Smoothie, it's a similar "do it all" design and we have a 5'6" right now that would be perfect for you: www.realwatersports.com/surfing/surfboards/rusty/smoothie Hope this helps! -Chris Stellato +realwatersports
+Jonathan Zielke Yes, we ship worldwide every day. No problem getting you a board in Germany. Please send an email with subject "shipping quote" to realpro@realwatersports.com. Please include your full shipping address and a link to the board you're interested in. We will reply back with a shipping quote quickly (close to end of day here now so you may receive reply tomorrow.) We will look forward to your email and feel free to include any additional questions. Thank you, Chris Stellato +REAL Watersports
+Diogo Brandao - you should be looking in the neighborhood of 32-34L volume for this board. For a Rusty Dwart, 5'8" - 5'9" would be a good size for you. Hope this helps! -Chris Stellato +real watersports
Hi really great review as always!🤗 Btw I'm 200lbs - 6'1" - weekend warrior type - intermediate to begginer. Currently using the modern 6'8 highline (floats lots, heavy turning). What is a good size to transition if I were to pick the rusty dwart? Looking for a board for both small and big waves. Or if you know any other board that'd be good. Thanks!!!!
Hey Alejandro, This Dwart was a 6'1, and Trip weighs ~215lbs. How much do you weigh, how tall are you, what is your skill level and where do you surf? I'd be stoked to help you pick the right size. Cheers - Ashlon
Hey. So I have been searching around hard for a good short board/ hybrid for the smaller surf. I am an intermediate surfer and weigh 160 lbs and am 6'2" and growing. I am used to riding a true short board around where I live in northern California but have been venturing down to Southern California more and more to surf with my girlfriend. We usually surf mushy and weak 1-3ft on the average day and Im not quite sure just how large of a dwart (unless any other suggestions) to get. Was considering a 7' or 6'10". Would love and greatly appreciate the feedback and opinions on it. Thank you!!
Storm Perrella Thanks for your question. Something 33-34 liters would be perfect for you. In a Dwart that will put you on a 5'8" or 5'9". With your weight at that board volume, you'll have plenty of grovel power in the mushy stuff. Check out the Dwart here: realwatersports.com/surfing/surfboards/rusty/dwart Hope this helps! -Chris Stellato REAL Watersports
Cory Nick Thanks for your question! For your weight and skill level you should go with the 5'10" Dwarf, it has approx. 36L of volume. Hope this helps! -Chris Stellato REAL Watersports

What do you think about the torsion spring sisten?
I'm highly unlikely to go vertical or even get barreled TBH. I'm mostly looking for something that can get me into waves easily and early. I want something short-ish and easy to turn, but I'm probably not getting vertical ever at this point. Would this be good, or would I be better off with a standard fish?

Wow! Great review!! I'm headed straight to the surf shop to make my purchase!
Hi, nice review! I am looking into Rusty Dwart. I am 190lb and 6.0'' beginner to intermediate surfer... Which one is the right Dwart? Thanks!
What are the similarities between the Rusty Dwart and the Rusty Happy Shovel?
How does this compare to the lost weekend warrior?
5'10 for an intermediate/beginner at 75kg 5'6, is this enough volume for a one board quiver ?
