Went out today at the Alley today with a very excited Jacko on his new 8'0 Naish.
On first looks I thought this is a shortboard thruster that I used to ride before SUPing.
Great looking overall shape and profile.
I was lucky enough to demo the new 9'4 Jimmy Lewis with Jacko so we were both frothing to get wet.
We caught the first wave together, with me being on the inside( Jacko couldn't help himself
) and of he went down the line banging the lip of a small peeler, while I cruised behind him on the JL watching.
I caught a few on the JL and was very impressed with the speed down the line and also the ease coming of the top and back around into the white water.At 90kgs the 9'4 JL is very doable
Jacko was firing a few off as well and was finding the 8'0 Naish the challenge that he has been looking for from a shortboard SUP.
I had a go at paddling it back across the creek and at 90kgs the board sunk down to my knees....so all you heavier guys forget it!.
Definitely a board for a guy 75kgs or less IMO.
So Jacko are you kicking Ang out of the bed tonight so that you can wake up next to your new toy??????
