Today I checked out the new Naish BOP boards and took heaps of pictures.

Maybe way too many pictures again but for those like me that like to see all the angles and details each pic shows something different.

This is the 12'6" x 28" carbon Javelin.. Boxy is back.





The deck is a deeper bird bath than the one on the new 14' Glide.. I'm guessing about 1 1/2" deep.









Beautiful looking upside down nose.



Great new Naish handle and good to see they put it in the center of the board.



The rails at the rear are sharp'ish but still with a slight soft edge.



They soon become even more soft'ish.



Quite soft in the mid section.



Round'ish towards the nose area.



Plain looking bottom.





The forward section has a slight round'ish belly.



Flat in mid section.



Sneaky little center concave before the rear section that you can see if you look close.



The v doesn't start till you get way back to the fin box.



Fair bit of v right at the tail should help with turning from the tail.



Flat deck and the deck in the nose area seems to drop away when viewed from above.



A few pics showing the rails from above.







This is the 30" wide AST Glide.























Here's some pictures of it on the water.















Thanks to the guys at The Zu for letting me take their board for a spin.

Great pics as always DJ. So is there any difference between the Jav and the Glide besides the width?

Width.. weight.. and colour.. as far as I could see.

That is a very boxy tail.

Very different to the flatter tail on my new DEEP 14'er:



It would be interesting to try them both in the same conditions to see how they compare.
