Easy! No brainer!

A big Sunova Kanga!

Maybe when my wife finally has a lottery win.

Saw my first Kanga close up yesterday. The owner bought it through Surf FX at Southport. Long wait but worth it.

Absolutely sweet board. Best finish I've ever seen on a Sunova board. Just beautiful!

basically need to try any and all boards. Northeast US has virtually no board dealers with demo products, except for Rick and Sunova. And his boards tend to be high on the volume range.

Really want to try the Starboard pro, blurr v2, and RNB, Sunova Flash and Placid in the 115-125 liter range. Friend has the GENR SP25, so that I tried.

I can only speak from my time on the 8'6 Sunova Flash which is now nearly 3 years old. I'm 90kg and love it for when the surf gets a bit bigger and you can just take off on the steep ones and it accelerates so quickly and can be pushed hard through your turns without any unpredictability.

Good build quality and mine is the xxx construction with the black strip running down the stringer underneath. Had a delam blister on the carbon strip from the sun but fixed it and all good. I think mine is 112litres.

Good luck and keep trying anyones board until one clicks with you.

I'm losing weight, so maybe my next series of boards will be smaller ??
I do have a 125 liter Placid that I have been riding a lot. I try every board I can.. people are pretty open to swapping for a few waves, so I pretty much ask everyone! It's a great way to compare boards!

Can't wait for your big comparo of the current sunova line up of boards Mr Creek... ???

Ah Creek. I try any board I can too! Its just that I am a bit lonely here in the Rockaways. Almost the only SUP-per amongst the proners. NJ and Gloucester has more SUP-pers, but its been difficult to get there this year. Tried out the 8'3" SP25 (custom I think) that a friend has, and loved it. But too expensive for me right now.

Should this be the 7'7" or is there also a 7'10" ?
Question to anyone who has tried the 7'7"; would this handle larger, more powerful waves better than an 8'5" Striker? I have the Striker and really like it but reckon i could go a bit smaller for more control on bigger waves. Welcome anyone's thoughts and sorry if i have taken the thread off on a tangent!

The rounded pin tail and the extra rocker on the Destroyer will definitely help compared to a Striker. Pretty clear cut really.

Thanks for the feedback. How do you think the 7'7" destroyer would handle a fast, hollow reef break (eg Fiji reefs)?
