Hi all ..well I've decide to purchase my first 14 footer ..never paddled one before but do have a 11 glide ..I will stick with naish ,surpise surprise .un decides on the four boards in mind .Javelin x 28 or x26 ..glide x29 x30. I guess the lighter you go the better the board ..price difference is a lot ,where I paddle there are alot of outriggers ,I can't get near them I guess I never will .only when the old dears are paddling . .I'm 96 kgs ..paddle most days ..need a fast board ..need one to keep for a long time .as I wont be paddling it that much ..if anyone paddles these boards or has any knowledge of the difference ...your input would be greatly appreciated .looking at buying..in a couple of months .
..Im .saving .. I'm thinking the lighter version ..but like the price of the glide ...

Ive owned the 2014 carbon glide 14 x 29 and currently have the 2015 Jav carbon 14 x 26. Love them both but the new one is light ,fast and not quite as stable as the old one but an awesome board in the ocean and flat stuff. Im 6'1 and 93 kilo

I have a 2014 GX Glide 14x29, love it, super stable and I fluctuate between 98-103kg's, feels fast enough to me.....but its not as fast as my DC 14x27 though

I have the Glide GX 14 x 29 and it's a very good all rounder whether it's lake or ocean.
nice and stable for down winders Just a problem with the pilot!
I am 86 kgs.
there is one for sale at Wind Surf and Snow or a friend of mine has a Jav 14 x 28 for sale on SeaBreeze.
i am surprised DJ hasn't commented yet!

The 2015 14x28 GX Jav in action from a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the input everyone ..glad to here they are good boards ...
im am leaning more toward the javelin GX x28 ..as the glides are heavy @16 and 16.8 Kgs ..I have a 4WD wagon and its pretty high to swing it on the roof . There probably will be less swearing and cursing throwing it on the roof .
so I think the javelin even though alot more expensive ,will be the better option .@ 12.8 kg .I reckon I 'll only buy one .so go for gold .
great vid as usual DJ.thank you .looks like fun down winding ..my 11 glide is ok but the 14' looks like it fly's.
The shape of the 2015 naish 14 footers looks as high tech as you can get .great looking board I'm impressed .
i hope I can over take a outrigger . I'm really looking forward to getting into this part of SUPPING
i like waves but sometimes its good to just go for a bloody good long paddle .with speed . .
I did watch the vid of you when you lost your board not wearing a leg rope DJ ..lucky there had a beach there and not open ocean .I'd be crapping myself with the wild life we have in the water here in open ocean .without a board.
thanks guys .

Buy my 2015 Javelin 14 x 28 LE its 10.5 kgs

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
They did keep the 11.4 Nalu
and I'm glad they brought out the new Hokua x32 9.6
I hope for your guys sake the 14 x 29 comes back
I'll talk to them .
but yes 16 kgs is to heavy for me to want one ..and 29 wide sound better than 28 .
i would go 30 if they had it .in a lighter construction .Ive got big feet .
on the other hand $1899 is a good price for a 14 footer .which some people are very happy with .
and there's some strong guys out there .16 kg is nothing to them .
