[Off-Shore]

By chance I stacked my buddy's old Naish Glide on top of my SIC F16v3... I agree a 15' version of the Glide would be awesome.

There's something else that's comings soon from Naish that I just heard about.. 

I'm busting to share and post pics but have to wait a week or two.. It's very exciting.. 

Ok DJ, it's been 2 weeks, time to share now

[DavidJohn]

Sorry guys.. I was shown the new boards a couple of weeks ago and told to wait a couple of weeks before sharing.. 

I talked with them today and they now say the first week of Jan is when I can talk about them and show pictures..   

Maybe I should of said nothing.. It is pretty exciting..  .. If I get the ok to say something sooner I will post it here first..

I know the guys at Naish (Oz) and they said to keep it to myself and that it should be ok to say something public in early Jan.. I checked with them today and now they say it might not be till early March.. Sheesh.. So.. I'm thinking stuff it and just spill the beans even if it means they wont tell me about anything new every again.. The new Naish boards are a part of the Hokua range so they're surfing boards.. They are Hokua Raptors.. all 7' long and three different widths.. They're Vanguard style boards.. and they look awesome.. They have been working on these boards for some time and they are very happy with what they've finally come up with.. Apparantly Robby can't stop riding his and loves it sooo much.. I'll post a couple of pics when I get home.. Please don't go into your Naish dealers and hassle them about these new boards.. The dealers themselves might not even know about them and these new boards are still a way off... I've also heard that next on the drawing board for Naish is a full on DW specific board..

Interesting that they are doing three boards that are the same length but different widths..Thanks for the info!

[Some Guy]

Thanks man!

Was curious if it was safe to buy a Nalu soon.
Sounds like it is.

I've been burnt in the past with new models, and now never buy anything without researching it.

[supthecreek]

well.... they tried boards that were all 
32" wide....
but
different lengths....

good to see they are mixing it up

7' seems like it leaves out a lot of the existing market.... maybe they are making a play for the younger crowd.

This was floating around on Facebook today, they look nice

[DavidJohn]

Pretty sure the two boards at the bottom in that pic are the small and medium Raptors.. and the three at the top are a part of a new kids range..

[supuk]

Look like they have gone for a wide point forward of center aposed to behind which is one of the main things about the Tomo design. It will be interesting to see what the desided on the bottom
