On episode 4 of ocean paddler T.V. there is some cool big wave SUP action and interview with Robby Naish. They give the new naish gun a nice workout.

Good video champrow.

The gun looks like a nice board. Is that in Aus yet?

I noticed Robbie does the air paddling thing too.

yo oliver how do you recon the uli would go at jaws

i recon that dude "the steamroller" would charge it

i think it is very limited stock the missus hates it when i go out and its over 10 foot

she won't watch

With steamroller on it I reckon it would go pretty well in a straight line. But instead of the swish sound you hear on a normal board the ULI makes a vibrating flubber kind of sound.

Thats Gold !!

Robby really stands by his product going out there and taking off on a wave that big.
thats the biggest wave I've seen ridden on a SUP.
Do you think Robby has surpassed Laird as the big wave guru ?? or what ! I know Laird has dropped into some huge waves but nothing that big on a SUP I don't think ??
Its funny when they call a wave that big "twelve foot"
Has anyone got any footage of a bigger wave ridden on a SUP??

Ther used to be a youtube of Laird in 30kts of wind at giant Hookipa, sometime early last year . You should have seen the rip he was trying to paddle thru!! Let alone the windy drops, there was also a poly going off in it.
