No idea.. Looks great..

Maybe it's a new Gerry Lopez shape..

It looks kinda like a single fin and gunny..

I hope it is a new GL model. I've got a GL Surftech board that is the best surf SUP I've ever owned but it's getting a bit long in the tooth.

Probably made of some extra light, extra tough material that NASA uses.........traditional custom shapers will eventually shine through the way things are going.

I would suggest that if that were the case then they certainly missed out on applying this technology on the Hokua LE series of boards which saw more folding than a texas hold em poker tournament. Am gobsmacked at how easily people are duped by colorful catchphrases which translates into boards which crack and crimp like any other board.

Go figure.

Naish ain't the only one....al the manufacturers are at it. Great that better designs are being produced but still not convinced with the very light designs in terms of durability.However, not heard as many reports of Starboard carbon and the JP lights folding.

Not really fair to single out one manufacturer......all are prone to folding or dings if the conditions are just right for it.........it is just probably a lot more annoying if you have shelled out mega bucks for that to happen.

In any case, whatever that board is made of, we can be sure it's a great shape that surfs beautifully if Mr Lopez shaped it.

Yes I want!

As the proud owner of a second generation Lopez Sweetie Pie 9' x 30.6 w that yellow board looks very similar. Pulled in nose thin rails. Mine only cost $1100 USD however. Looks like $2800! Buy now before the price increase!

Not sure why it was taken down by Naish - there is a stack of the boards on Kai Lenny's Facebook page seen by god knows how many! Pointy nose ones.

To me they look like surfboards. The bigger ones are guns for Peahi.
