The new Naish windsurfing boards are out and look really nice.

I really don't like their website though, its trying to sell the boards direct, the individual board pages don't show the dimensions which I think are really important, same with the sails, this might be as they have just set up the new website but seems a bit shabby.
Both their wave boards are Quad fin too (only took about 10 years to catch up with the rest of the brands) no thruster fin boards which I always thought Naish were best at. I look forward to trying one and seeing what widths etc they are.

Provided it's not too short, the global 105 L looks like it could tick a lot of my boxes.

Without trying it, no idea if it's good or meh.
But shape looks appealing. I like wide tails for the gutless waves. Plus fast rocker a must have for subpar (onshore and light ) conditions common here. And a V in the tail to aid the roll into a bottom turn. My life is subpar so I need all the help I can get to make it exciting.

Looks very conventional... almost boring .... so surely it will be good. That outline just works and has done for a long time.

As to dimensions i can tell you if u like?


220 to 230 long.

Too short. :-(

I thought the 2013/2014 Quatro Cubes had the perfect length.

The measurements are on their website now, it was the first day of the website when I looked and apparently it wasn't loading on their page.

Yes, rubbed back black and white is such a novel development

I'm more surprised that they have gone with all quads in the wave range, from being thrusters only (?) before...

Glad to see wide wave boards going away, I find they don't ride smooth enough for local chop. I wouldn't say no to a touch more length but this is fine.
Knowing Naish they are probably user friendly and durable (for Cobra).

Where can you buy a 2024 Hookipa Quad in Australia? Any stock? Pricing?
