has anyone ridden this Sunova yet ?? 18x 24 ?! with a huge downwinding nose and deep sunk in deck!! I feel like it would be super fun but to me it looks kinda crazy or maybe its intimidating ?? IDK

Lots of australian guys rode this board on Maui maliko runs. Fast board for sure. What concerns fun - not so sure. Fun is subjective. Surfing the unlimited like a giant longboard is fun for me but for some folks going faster without changing stance is more fun.
Addicted to foiling at the moment.

Yes, that's it exactly.

Seeing those guys loading up their clogs and all their water deflectors on the Maliko shuttle kills all the desire for me to own one. But then when I saw Sonni's dugout and helped load it on her car I definitely said to myself to never own one. :)

I ordered one. 18x25.5¨version. People who use it speak very positive about it. We are doing more and more downwind runs here in Mallorca, Spain therefore more people are ordering unlimiteds. I tried a friend's NSP unlimited and there is a big glide difference compared to 14 foot boards we have. I have had Sunova surf boards before and I am very satisfied with them. For training I ordered an Allwater 14x25.5¨ from Sunova and I am impressed with it. It is my daily training, light downwind board. For quite some time I wanted to order an unlimited and decided on Unlimited from Sunova because the shaper Marcus Tardrew is a solid downwind racer (was 3rd in the M2M race) so I am confident that he implemented a lot of his good ideas in this board.
