Construction method and materials used. The shape will be the same, but ultimately the AST model uses cheaper materials and will be a heavier board.

this might sound stupid but im wondering what the difference between the normal naish and the ast models are
thanks

It depends on what boards you're talking about.

With the Glides the white boards are wood/carbon construction.. slightly lighter and also come with a board bag.. and better fins.

The AST's (Advanced Sandwich Technology.. I think that's what it means) don't use carbon and instead a slightly cheaper material that is still very strong.

With the boards like the Mana wave boards the Bamboo boards have a gloss finish.. a board bag.. and better quality fins.

Hope that helps.
