+Aaron Castro Soto - Thanks for the question. The Rooster and Dwart are two very different boards. Different outline, rocker pattern, bottom contours, foam flow... the Dwart is geared towards smaller waves than the Rooster, and the Rooster is designed for a little better performance in rounder waves and getting tubed. Rooster has more rocker so no problem with going vertical and pulling turns in good surf. Hope this helps! -Chris Stellato +real watersports

+Ryan The Rock thanks for your question. Although the answer depends largely on wave shape (the Rooster likes rounder waves), my opinion is that the Hustler would be a little better suited for the smaller-wave range you mentioned. The fuller outline and lower rocker on the Hustler give it an edge in mediocre surf, whereas the rounder outline and more aggressive rocker on the Rooster make it easier to surf when the waves are rounder or more hollow. Lots of overlap on these two shapes in terms of wave range so it wouldn't be unrealistic to see both these boards in the water during the same session.

For even better low-end performance, check out the Rusty Heckler, it's even friendlier in mushy surf: realwatersports.com/surfing/surfboards/rusty/heckler
