Any info on the naish hukua boards for 2011 yet

7'3"
7'8"
8'0"
8.5"
9'0"
9'6"
9'8" - GUN
10'8" - GUN
11'6" - GUN

I saw the specs on all the new Naish boards.. IMHO I think Naish just guesstimates the ltrs on there boards.. For one I don't believe the 10 mana is 210 ltrs.. and if you compare the 010 9'3 to the 011 9'0 the specs are different but the ltrs are the same ??

Wow BP lots of choices there....how could a young kiwi lad decide on one board in particular lol

yes please, gives us the specs. Width, thickness volume?

2010 9'3" x 29 1/2 x 4 1/4 = 125L
2011 9'0" x 28 3/4 x 3 3/4 = 125L

I Don't know how this works.. The dimensions are obviously much smaller and as far as i understand Litres = water displacement so weight should have no effect on it.. so how do they figure this one out ??
Its not just Naish. Many brands are out of whack IMO the PSH 9'6 varies from 136-150L depending on the website you look at..
I point this out because a few months ago when i was first looking at buying a board one of the main deciding factors was the litres.. Now i realise it really means nothing at all..
Three boards i have ridden recently Is a SB Element 9'8 = 150L a 10'6 Naish = 150L and a PSH 9'6 = 150L.. All boards are very very different as far as stability, yaw and glide..
So anyone looking at new boards. its probably best to take the Ltrs with a pinch of salt or if you are going to compare Just keep it within the brands and probably the year of manufacture as Naish has proved..
Ps.. Nice boards though

I read in a press release that the 2011 range was going to be........ wait for it......... Yellow!

The new Naish boards are yellow and white (white rails at the front).. and the yellow is a slightly more pale 'custard' yellow.

8'0" Hokua.. 26 1/8" x 3 3/4" @ 95L.

8'5" Hokua.. 28" x 3 3/4" @ 115L.

9'0" Hokua.. 28 3/4" x 3 3/4" @ 125L.

I'm keen to try the new 9'0" Hokua..

BTW.. Hokua is Hawaiian for crest or lip of the wave.. I knew you wanted to know that..

There must be a typo on those thicknesses. 4 3/4 thick sounds about right.

Yea, i might grab a old hukua 9'6 as my next steep, It has more volume

No, its not ruled out, But the construction on the naish boards is great. So with out seeing a used subv i cant compare the construction and nor willing to buy a new one to test it.
