Here is how Dave from Seamour describes the "Doug' model:
"The Doug is my interpretation of a traditional nose rider. I have been working on this board with Adelaide raised and Gold Coast based Ben Jones for about 4 or 5 years now, we’ve really fine tuned it down to a tee. I’m asking him all the time if there’s anything he’d like to change or modify… but the answer is always no. The outline is super forgiving, it maintains a stable width throughout its entirety. The bottom contours differ throughout the length of the board to suit the style of approach Dougy was aiming to achieve in each of those particular areas.
The nose has a very soft roll, so as to maximise stability while hanging the toes, enhancing the length of rides. As you move towards the middle the Doug maintains again a very soft roll so to continue the trend of stability through trim, maximising speed through these sections. As you move past the mid point, towards the tail, you start to get a very strong rolled vee to vee transition, this creates an insane amount of pivot, and allows the rider to move around effortlessly in the pocket, and pick a line. The rails throughout are very pinched and offer great hold and speed in all sections. The middle rail in particular though is slightly boxy, offering a forgiving feel for those surfers wanting to draw more dramatic lines, or surf more energetically."
