Where in Florida?

I've seen large inventories of Naish in the stores at:

Call those places to see what you can demo before you drive anywhere.  I don't think there is a Naish dealer in Orlando, but Daytona, Cocoa, And Melbourne are pretty close. The only board that paddleboard house let me demo was a 2011 glide that had been damaged. The ft lauderdale naish dealer would not allow any demos of new product.

Money talks, so if you're serious, be willing to pay for the demo. Lots of shops are gun shy about handing over new boards for demo, just so the customer can buy mail order.

If you have a relationship with the shop. Meaning they know you will likely buy it from a past history with them, you tend to get demos hassle free.

So I'd offer up some cash for the privilege and you might get lucky.
