Had a look at the new Naish Hokua carbon boards last week. wow. Must say they look great and the weight, so light. Cant wait to try one in the surf, they look like they will rip up the waves. The new 8'10 might be in order.

I can't wait to get my hands on the all new 14' Glide.. DJ

Me too Mr Naish!!! ;-)

MR Chuck Patterson went down to the kawana lake and brought them with him from the Naish dealer meeting. I think they will be back on the sunny coast around july for demo at Ocean Addicts.

have they any new shapes out in the 9 ft wave area that are being made in carbon ?

8'10 carbon @ 27.25 @107 ltr

8'3 carbon @100 ltr

8' carbon @ 27

7'6 carbon @29. I think it was 7'6

All boards with a ledge handle and super lite, not 100% on the width but iam close.

These are only what he had with him.

And No I do not have anything to do with Naish.

Will be interesting to see how the new range of Naish boards compare to the JP sups given that JP at the smaller size seem to be the rage for surfing.
Thanks for the information.

I could b wrong... but i thought i may have seen a picture on sunshine coast sup club facebook.... : )

Naish looks sweet! I have one on order. Do anyone know of a thicker rail tape for race boards?

Check out Rail saver pro.... or.. just dont hit your rails.. or tape your blade..

Tried not hitting rails but still find a way sometimes when off balance. I'm new to SUP and still working out perfect technique. What do you think about paddle tape. I got a carbon paddle because the sales guy told me it "spears" through the water better than a thicker blade. Wouldn't paddle tape take away from that.

Either way thanks for the link to Rail Saver Pro. It looks stout. I really want to protect my board for resale as I'm waiting for the new Naish line to come out.
