Hey guyz am just gettin keen on the sport, and doin my research, starting to get my mind set on a Naish Nalu 11'6" or 11'4", when I came across this review of a Naish Nalu 11'6" which broke in half in surf after 5 sessions and no warranty was given?
Found review and warranty issues here: http://www.supheaven.com/Naish-SUP-quality.html
Has anyone had any issues with thier Naish Nalu's, or any problems with warranty?
I wouldn't call that a review, more likely a bitter shot at a supplier by a disgruntled buyer. They state that their warranty doesn't cover surf breakage, and it was broken in surf! In saying that, I'd probably be p!ssed off to, but unfortunately that's Naish's warranty conditions.
I bought a 11'6" Nalu a few months back (I'm 110kgs) and had no issues with it. I mainly paddle on flatwater and recently started surfing in 1 to 2ft conditions (kook) without incident, although I personally wouldn't go in much bigger surf due to the board length. I would hope that the fact it has a fitting for a w/surf rig that it would withstand some abuse, but as mentioned above, the ocean is a beast & can break anything. I'm happy with my purchase...so far!
If you want a surf-sup, go shorter/wider and get one that is designed specifically for surf, otherwise the Nalu seems like a great allrounder.
