Geez, that makes Andrea Moller's effort in the elite female pretty impressive.

So DJ,which of your babies will be making way for the 17'

At the moment I have the 11'4".. the 11'6" AST and the 12' Glide.

I plan to sell my 12' Glide (or the AST) and get the new 14' Glide.

I'd love the new 17'er but I think I'd also need a new car to carry it.. .. It may be too big a board for my little zook.

We'll see.. Maybe I'll sell the 14' Glide one day and get the 17' Glide depending on how much they cost.

Does anyone have any idea how much these new Naish boards will cost?

Hey did anyone notice,both guy's wearing oxbow boardies?

I think Oxbow is a clothing company that sponsor heaps of people.. I guess that's all that it is.

DJ

both dave and kai are sponsored by oxbow and naish and have paddled more miles then most ,the boards not yet production ,harlod iggy the shaper is still getting feedback from dave and co .interesting was that mark on f18 was only 2 minutes behind ,thats worth noting

seems like the Naish boards cleaned up during that race. The Glide 14'0'' (I think they just received the first production boards) also won its classes. With Jerry Bess, Kai Lenny and Michi Schweiger being right in there. Pretty amazing that somebody on a 14 footer (Jerry Bess) can rank within the top 10 overall in between all the unlimited boards. The bigger surprise was that the boards worked so well in absolutely no wind conditions which are so unusual for the Maliko Maui run. Lets hope we get a windy Naish race on the 12th of August. Supposedly the Naish Glide unlimited is gonna have a rudder system that can be easily adjusted for regular and goofy foots

I heard that Dave Kalama himself will be down-under in a few months.. ..Anyone know what for or when?

Dave is sponsored by Naish, but not Kai far as I know. Kai is brand new to SUP though he is a phenomenal outrigger paddler (and now we see he has translated that to SUP).
Kai was on an SIC F-16 and so was Mark Raaphorst. The winner, Scott Trudon was on the SIC F-18 (actually - looks like most of the top guys, were on SIC)

Dave Kalama won his first race for his new sponsor 'Naish' racing in the Hawaiian Maliko to Kanaha race last weekend.

He use the new Naish 17-18' race board and won it easy.. He's in a class of his own and it's great that Naish have him on board.

Here's the results and I can't wait to see some pics.

1. Dave Kalama
2. Mark Raaphorst
3. Alan Cadiz
4. Scott Trudon
5. Aaoron Napolean

Sorry DJ, It wasn't Kalama. Corrected results listed below - still new to this and thought I replied to this one...oh well.
Aloha - PL

Hi Mauwatergirl.. You must be thinking of the recent Naish event when Dave failed to finish because his rudder fell of or something like that..

My results were from the last event when Dave won..

Right you are DJ - I think I was confused by the results - You must have been referring to the Olukai Race back in May. Dave did win. FYI - in that race it was Aaron Napoleon who came in third, Alan was 5th.
The conditions for the Naish race were excellent.
It was too bad that Dave's Naish equipment failed in a Naish race!

This is quite an old topic and if you actually look at the date on some of the top posts, it shows this was posted in May
