Looks like Gerry Lopez has been busy with Kai's new Naish proto's to test.

Looks like you'll still be waiting for your 15'-16' design.

New flatwater design? Not much rocker happening...

That's some serious coin.

Not sure if this is 2014 production or a prototype, but it looks pretty rad.

Anyone got intel on this board? It looks to me like it is @10 "6 but it aint the current nalu 10 6.5. The nose looks bigger. I totally dig it and am in the market for a progressive longboard SUP.

Just received an email announcement from Naish today....that's the 2015 Javelin LE, the email said it will be available this fall. There was a link to the Naish website where there is more info.

I noticed that among the many things Naish is saying about why the new boards are so good, it's not mentioning anything about whether they added weight above what the previous models weighed to make them comply with the sacred SUPAA board limits.
My guess is either that they didn't care about whether they were compliant, or if they did, and did add weight, they didn't want to make a big deal about the new boards being heavier. "NEW HEAVIER WEIGHT FOR SUPAA COMPLIANCE!" wouldn't be a very inspiring marketing line.

I've just put an order in for a new 2015 14' x 28'' GX Jav.. I hope it DW's as good as the 2014 Glide.. I should have it in a few weeks.. :)
-
Those are available already? DJ what is the price on the 2015 LE's?

Nose shape very similar to Mike Day's designs, i.e. the Coreban Sonic. More & more boards are starting to look like that.

Sweet. We'll look forward to the report, DJ. Does it seem like they brought back a bit more of the nose rocker? Not back to where it used to be, but the 2014s seem much straighter--correct?
-
I just noticed the Naish website updated to show the new models. Looks like they aren't making the Javelin skinnier than 26" for the new models.

Here in Oz there is a slight price increase .. eg.. The new 14' Glide is about $100 more...

Nice.. I've been told they're here in 9 days [14th of August].. can't wait.

Guy trialling my ,14 GX tomorrow morning.
Fingers crossed for a sale ;)

cool! he sure likes surfing with that adjustable paddle,
He uses the adjustable paddle to change sizes to mimic the various sticks and trees he is going by. This serves as a form of camouflage and helps him blend in with the surroundings preventing possible attacks from near by flying Pterodactyl.
-
As hardcore as Naish is being about 14' being the max for elite racers in races they sponsor, I doubt we'll be seeing anything longer from them.
-
I paddled the new LE Jav. at OR. They are as light and a little springy from the light carbon lay up. You paddle it with the nose up to plane a 6+. The new race boards are on the same idea on the planing flatter bow. Need power to get them there in sprints +6, but might not be the best bet for long distance out of a train at 90% power.

When Chuck Patterson and the Naish rep were here at gorgebob's demo day, I asked them if Naish would ever make a flatwater unlimited, and the answer was they doubted it because there's just not much of a market. Can't remember if just one or both of them said that. Chuck P. did say the old Naish 17' does surprisingly well on flatwater. So I'd love to see the Starboard 17' do well, and maybe get Naish back into doing an UL board.
One thing--it was only about 3 or 4 years ago that I was up in Seattle picking up a used 14' Glide at Urban Surf, and I happened to be there at the start of the Naish weekly Lake Union race series. The max. length allowed--set by Naish--in the race was 12-6. I just saw the results from the same series for this year. There were a couple dozen guys in the 14' category (now legal) and only 3 on 12-6--a total reversal from none on 14' only a short time ago. There was even one woman on a 14'. So things can change.

Why do people think they're not making narrower Javelins anymore? Plus introducing the new extra-wide Javelin? Looks like a repeat of the widening of the Glide last year, and getting rid of the 27" Glide that was popular (the board, not the getting rid of it).

The new 10' Nalu sounds AMAZING.. 8)

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.. 8)

A new and different shade of yellow?
-
It's so rare that I'm actually right about something that I want to savor this. I said a few years ago that the 14' and 12'6" nonsense in racing would kill development of anything longer and we'd be stuck in a slow race where only skinny kids under twenty could be competitive. welcome to 2014, where the only thing even remotely interesting is SIC downwind boards and all the rest of the stuff is plain vanilla. Stupid, really stupid. and the manufacturers have no one to blame but themselves. Especially Naish. You get your wish, you don't have to make bigger boards. Welcome to mediocrity.
Now watch the Chinese eat you up because they can make the same silly formula, only moreso, and can do it cheaper. Downhill from here.
-
The Naish bigger trend is interesting since they just came from too skinny 2 years ago.
I hope they come up with something sweet and at a real value.
I have butted heads with the company but I respect them and I want to continue to support Naish.
-
If they were too skinny, then too wide, maybe this time they'll be just right.
If people can speculate wrongly enough, and a few others follow up on PonoBill's bringing board lengths and the Chinese into this, DJ should snap and reveal what he knows within a couple days.
Personally, I believe southwesterly may be right with the new yellow. Or...a new aluminum board???
-
Seriously, what is anyone going to do that anyone cares about? Half inch wider, half inch narrower. they've stuffed themselves into a design box that offers no innovation and nothing, zip, nada, nothing for anyone that weighs more than 190. Sad and silly. No one learned anything from what happened to windsurfing, where everything collapsed to a tiny set of specs that only fit a specific set of conditions. Right board, mast, booms and sail. oops, the wind dropped while I was rigging, now I need a little bigger board, mast, booms and sail--oh, it's back up...
-
It would be great if it were a new flatwater unlimited board. But even then, the chances of it being anything in the 15' to 16.5' range--which as you (PB) have pointed out could be an ideal length for many people based on performance (vs. rules)--are probably smaller than it being an aluminum board.
If it is a 15' downwind board, I doubt DJ would be able to stay quiet.
-

You're right about that.. Sadly it's not about bigger DW boards.. If it was I'd spill the beans for sure.. ;D
A 15' version of the original Glide would be awesome... This is something completely different.. 8)

OK, it's been about 3 weeks, approximately...

You'd think it would be easy for him to spill the beans, being upside down in Oz and all... ;D
-
guessing... GL Designed SUP?
-
Ok DJ ya bloomin' seppo wanker! Wassup wid da kine yellow board? LMAO.. 8)
-
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. 8)

Ok DJ, it's been 2 weeks, time to share now :)
-
Sorry guys.. I was shown the new boards a couple of weeks ago and told to wait a couple of weeks before sharing.. :-X
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.. 8)

Hey, DJ... Isn't it 2015 in Oz right about now...? Happy New Year, now spill the beans! WasSUP with Naish ?
;D ;)

Is the NDA up yet? :)

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.. 8)

Interesting that they are doing three boards that are the same length but different widths..Thanks for the info!
-
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.
-
well.... they tried boards that were all
32" wide....
but
different lengths....
good to see they are mixing it up ;D
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
-
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..
-
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

please let us know a Little review of the jp slate surf!!!!
I really looking at the jp and the new naish model and as son as i cant i will get one!!!
-
The first board looks like it has a LOT of kite board influence in it. Has the same plan shape as a 5'2" Naish directional (the yellow one) I used to ride and which Robbie himself rode for ages!!
I love the wake, kite, surf, snow cross over that is going on in SUP....a real mix bag
