That water release at the back is interesting. I'd love to try dragging off the back of that in a race. Only trouble is, when am I ever behind a Naish in a race?

Great camera angles DJ!

It'll be interesting to see the difference the 12'6" Jav vs 12'6" Glide in the same conditions.

DJ, I forgot to mention that Go Pro have released an extendable pole for their cameras.

I'll let you know when they're in

Ha.. you could call it an OSUP.. The stupid wide angle lens spoiled my sneaky camera angle..

The bac-pac screen would have told me to move it a bit and out of view.. Thanks for the demo Warwick and it will be interesting to see that extendable pole mount.. It's gotta be better than a brooNm stick and sticky tape..

Hey DJ, I took the jav out today, went great, fairly stable and fast.

it does look inviting pt

. i don't think i've ever seen a squarer railed board. i must calibrate/check my chippies square on the jav. naish must have cut the shapers budget.

but hey, the boards a eye catcher and must likely it will be fast
cheers

I spent a solid couple of hours yesterday morning on the 12'6 x 30 Glide. Very very nice, I enjoyed it a lot and got some interesting point-to-point interval data on the garmin, it's a good bit faster than the 31.5 starby in comparable conditions (i suspect the 29.5 starby might be a fairer comparison) .
