Naish boards 2013

Nice to see plenty of colour in the 2013 gear!

NIIIICE to see the new Quatro offerings of the LS Quad and Thruster. Coming out in some big sizes too, up to 110L. Wonder if the bigger boards are more suited to the bigger boys as their 'normal waveboard', or more for the regular weight guys to have a floaty light wind waveboard? Given the widths (63 for the 110 and 61 for the 98 and 102) maybe the later? regardless, they look nice

This was posted in the reviews section - thought it might also get some interest here as its an Aussie design
The first review of the Starboard Nuevo 80 is out
- this is basically a custom Nude Chopper design (a twin fin shape a bunch of us here in Australia have been loving ) with some small variations - notably a slightly faster rocker line (the original rocker line was pretty fast to plane up anyway
I had the luck to be able to ride this at the Starboard Photo / video shoot in WA last feb - for some mast mount / chase cam shots - and was personally VERY stoked with the way the production board came out.
If you are into technical reviews then it is difficult to go past German surf - who got a ride on a near final proto
this is what they said:
2013 is going to be exciting for waveriders: with a mysterious grin that we found very difficult to read, Starboard designer Tiesda You handed us a prototype he was "working on" somewhere towards the end of 2011.
A board that won't have to fear any kind of competition in clean conditions.
"It transfers so easy from rail to rail, you hardly use any force at all. It's the best thing that I've ever surfed"; a flabbergasted reviewer stuttered.
The conditions on that day were first class. Clean waves, a little side-offshore, and that'sthe kind of conditions where this board comes into its own.
Never before has a factory-produced board been able to approach the "real" surf style, but a lot of pressure in your sail and chaotic waves will turn thise board into a bouncy kangaroo. That shouldn't be a problem though since Starboard comes out with this Euro-wave rocket but in addition to that there's the Köster Kode, and the Quad. The NuEvo, available from August on, hardly eneds any wind pressure and just the pressure of the wave will already propel it towards the lip after a bottom turn. It doesn't require applied pressure, it just goes without loosing speed.
SURF-recommendation:
An incredible board for light winds and clean waves - from knee high to up to 2 meters.
(I think they may not have realised how awesome these boards go in average conditions too )
So there it is - looks like you can get your board complete with custom spray direct from Nude
or get one straight off the shelf from your local windsurfing shop

Hey Matt, if the Nuevo is an "australian design " and "basically a nude chopper" why would you get one opposed to say...... Just getting a nude chopper?

Don't think Nude can make enough boards for the amount of people who should be sailing one.
Kinda like if you can't get tickets to ABBA, you might have to settle for Bjorn Again.

Have a Nuevo sitting on the pingpong table, looks real nice.

So it's like a 40yr old abba cover show????

i reckon the wave market has a few segments.
you have you sailor who just wants plug and play performance. they are probably time poor with a job and family. they also might like the idea of a warranty and also have a good relationship with a shop that has looked after them with service , trade ins etc for a few years. thats your production board guy.
then you have your sailor that might want to customise with a super. slick paint job - maybe some different strap or fin configurations. this sailor can pre order and wait 8 weeks for a board and knows that if they put in a super high jump and land it flat that they have to take some responsibility for the consequences
both of those thpe of customer can get a really sick board. i will be riding my custom 90 and a production 80 nuevo this season.
fwiw i rode scotts quad 74 at the shoot and that was a super sick board too. its the same shape he is reschooling the pwa on wave riding at the tenerife event as i write this response.

Just out of interest does Hoops get anything from Starboard for 'designing' their new wave board ?
