It arrived today and I was straight out into 2' of wind swell and chop with back was from the rocks. I couldn't believe how stable the board was, more stable than my Bark contender. I caught some great runs in with it jacking up across reefs, nose would bury but then just pop back up. I got the skating feeling that others have commented on, but when you have had it a couple of times it feels fine . Then I
surfed small wave at the beach, board is very easy to manouvre on the wave and paddles out well. I'm about 87kg and an average paddler
Awesome!!! Now I reeeally want one. Greats pics. Thanks for the post and honest comments

looks like x28
That's because it's the same as the x28 only 2" narrower.
I haven't measured it but it says X26 top and bottom

100%, look at the 6 on the 12'6 the same as the 6 on X26. will try and remember to take a better picture for you tomorrow
one thing that really lets it down though is the bag, you spend a fortune on the board and get a nice red and white bag, only to find it is about 32" wide and says it is for a 2014 12'6 Glide. I asked and was told they do one bag for 12'6 and one for 14'. Even so it would still be baggy on a Glide

Remember most other top brands that you also pay top $$$$ for don't even come with a bag as standard (starboard/DC....).
My dad has tried a prolimit 12'6 bag. Fit is also not much better! He uses bicycle bungey straps to stop flapping when on the roof and works well.
I really wish they had changed the red/white colours as it makes it look like you have a Fanatic on the roof(!). And bring back the 2013 days.... my 12'6 LE x24 has a bag that fits perfect and is black and white. Only sad thing is I want the new board so will have to sell it :(
Hey btw guys, if those pictures above are a x26.... kai lenny must be on something way narrow (x24) by looking at the tail?....

It is a X24 a friend in the know (he is on the team) told me a while ago when we talking about the new boards. It looks more pulled in at the bow as well
I was able to demo the Jav 12'6 x 26 and 28, and also the Jav 14' x 26 and 28 today - all in the LE. Nice easy flat water. Sooo nice but was hard picking out what would suit me. Im 6'1 x 93 kilo and Im leaning toward the Jav 14 x 26 LE. Feels light and fast. Im coming off a 2014 glide carbon and the Jav feels very stable and super responsive so I think I can afford to lose that little bit of width and be gaining the extra speed and weight advantage.........just got to rob a bank... :)
