Those 11-2s are nuts!  Do they come with their own case?

If the Maneuverability was more like a 7.5 or 8 on the Nut, I'd consider it.
The Air Born is an 8.5, so why not just give the Nut at least a 7.5?


I'm assuming that with Maneuverability they are referring to getting the board from a tight storage spot to the beach.

I saw a prototype that was shaped similarly.  It rode waves quite well but waves would come over the back half while paddling and made it impossible to paddle.  It will be interesting to see how this one paddles, maybe Starboard figured it out.

It's an old idea--shortboard rails and longboard glide. Works, sort of, but I'd hate for it to be my only board.

Naish has been using diabolic rails on its Javelins for years.

I was going to use anabolic rails but I was afraid I wouldn't pass the urine test...

The urine test is what they use to see if your rails are diabolic.  If you put even a tiny bit of extra weight in one rail, urine.

   along the same lines, here my 2nd-gen supig, which ought to be delivered next week.  kook on!

   9'6" x 32".  V1 was a little wider and weighed 31 lbs.  I wanted V2 to weigh 26 lbs, but the shaper says it came in around 20 lbs.  I'll give it a ride, but I like heavier boards and might have to add another layer of glass to add some weight.  we'll see ...

Linter,

You got a rocker pic?

(I do own a 10'2" Swizzle.  Now that my balanced is so improved from SUP surfing, I gotta get it out and see if I can
hang 5, maybe 10 on it!)

   Steve Brom, in San Diego.  He shaped Con Uglys back in the day and is best known for his fish, the Brom Fish.  Anybody who's thinking of maybe checking him out should PM me first  ;).

   Don't have the board yet, so no rocker pic.  but i can tell you this: it's got a kicked tail and a very flat nose, which is the way I like em.  I was considering one of the new Laird's but, once again, his boards have lots of rocker up front, which most SUPs have but I always find that flatter is better, at least for how i ride.

Anyone surfed the "NUT" yet?  I'm curioso, bro.

I've surfed it. And I don't really agree with Linter.
When I first had a look at the board, it didn't really convince me, but I had to try it.

The one I rode was an 8'5 prototype, basically a scaled down version of the production ones. I was told it would be introduced in the market during this year.

It looks like it had a nose very similar to the pocket rocket, with a tail section of either the 7'1 or the 7'4 Pro's.

Quite stable, fast paddling and really nice on a wave. An high performance allrounder with some impressive performance for such an awkward board.

I'm pretty sure that the same philosophy will apply to bigger boards.
