Don't feel bad.  I made sure to never utter the word Naish until the rep did first!

It's definitely Nash like Cash.  I've heard it that way since the neon days of the '80s when he was my windsurfing hero.

Nice one PDX....let us how that works out if you ever call him that!  From what I've seen in videos, he looks to be "in shape"...and I'm too old be asking to swallow my own teeth!

Wondered the pronounciation on that myself. 

Thanks for asking the question that noone wants to ask.

Here is Robby himself SUP surfing the longest wave. It's nash, as is cash$$$$$. Great guy, great name in disguise. Love his boards..  <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/30877654?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=97b8c7&amp;autoplay=1" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

That's a nice video TallDude! 

Does anyone know?  Does he use a standard or custom Naish board?

Again, I stand in awe of pdx. We are in the presence of comedic genius.

Robby Naish uses either Prototypes for the coming year and mostly production Naish designs...mainly for logistic reasons and they are good shapes
