Sunova Ocean Board

[coldsup]

Just for interest....some pics of the new Sunova Ocean board coming out of the production process. These are nicely priced in the UK .... around the same as the hybrid 2016 Allstars so got my eye on these....hope the ocean board stacks up as well as the surf ones do.

Dang that thing is beautiful. Would hate to put a deckpad on it.

Looks a bit weird IMHO from the pics but once it has been properly photographed and finished I reckon it will look superb. I wonder how light it will be.....

[coldsup]

10 kg is the estimated weight.....that is light!

It would be great to see the tail. The nose does look to have a hint of the Ace about it. But it is the extremely narrow nose of the Ace that defines it as much as the nose (and also makes it a bit tricky in some conditions - but also fast), so if this has a quite different tail it will be a very distinctive design.

Is that a Faast or a Search, or an entirely new Ocean board that isn't on the Sunova website yet? If the latter, do you have any more details on how it differs from those other two?

Thanks!

area10, I  think  the  1st  picture  is  the  tail ,  looks  like  there  is  a  small  keel  , but  I  can't  see  a  fin box ??

Beautiful, though the shape looks sticky

Are you sure? Looks like the nose, deck up to me (with the other one deck down). But I'm not very good with pics from strange angles and unusual shapes so I really have no idea!

Great pics to keep us guessing, though haha!

Don't hate me but I think it's a little ugly.  And believe me, I know ugly when I see it and it's a little ugly, maybe very ugly...

Give the poor thing a chance! A baby doesn't look so cute when it's being born, but all cleaned up and dressed up later it has everyone fawning

Here you go guys.....some more. Kelly Margetts helped design and test the board. Afraid I don't know much more apart from it will be off the production line very soon.

Well, that now looks more like the Bark Vapor than the Ace. What a great marketing tool the internet is... maybe this thread will turn out like the Seabreeze one on the SIC FX, with about 100 posts of speculation about a board no-one has yet seen or ridden

And some other ones...I don't have any connections with Sunova by the way......I just asked them to share any production pics  as I am struggling to chose an open ocean race board and heard about this one.....and they were very kind to do some sharing

Yup, social media works wonders for sports gear like this. I should get a job selling their gear over here

So, quite a different nose potentially and a concave right down the board....bit like Allstar but more subtle? It looks a fair bit lower volume which I like.
