This one will be only 7'9" x 33"

Interesting shape.. It's great to see Naish being innovative and not just following trends.

Interesting dimensions. I suspect many of the manufacturers will develop short wide boards that are suitable to a wider range of abilities out in the surf.
Have you ordered yours Dave?

No.. I have this sweet little 9'er that suits me just fine..

I'm glad Naish didn't go with the big square tail on that new 7'9".. It looks like it should surf well.

How sick do they look, Im hanging to get one. It looks like it will go off tap right in the pocket. and being 32 wide it will even hold a big fella like me. So excited.......

Woo hoo! My favourite shortboard is my 5'10" Skipp Fry Fish - so much fun in all kinds of conditions. I reckon the new Naish 7'9" will be just like that.

Yeah looks like it might be my windy day fun board, as soon as i seen this a little while ago i knew i would want one. There is a Naish hibrid surf board in there range which i loved it was a 6'6 Mal nose short board tail and this 7'9 looks like its big brother. Can't wait!!!!

is that a knee board?

Yeah-it's their latest KUP board.

I just did a quick calculation and the volume comes out at about 150 litres. Maybe a bit under because of the narrow tail.

That's based on 70% of length x width x depth which is consistent with the 9'5" and the 10'.

Damm you

I'm luvin my Naish 8'0 in clean and semi chop, only talking to a few boys yesterday about getting a board the same dimensions only with a round nose for chop. Might have to steel jackos when he gets his.

Noosa 2 1/2 years ago..........

Well Allrounder when is the 7'9 Demo going to be in Melbourne?

I would be happy to crawl out into the line up to get a few close up pics of that one in play.

I have ridden the 7.2 Starboard so it will be very interesting to compare the 2.

The super short boards bring a 3rd dimension into play that will surprise a lot of people.

You end up with pitch roll and yaw to contend with and if it truely is 150l then it will be very interesing.

It will defo float my wide ass, just depends if you hand saddle and ride the bucking bronko, Bring it Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Cant wait to see and try the new sugar banana!

Goes to show anything will work, will be interesting!
