Title: Fun waves on my Sunova 9'5 "the One"
Post by: supthecreek on January 27, 2017, 08:54:37 AM

After a week of good waves on the 9'2 Speeed, 
I took out "the ONE" 9'5 in some backwashy, high tide wave and had a blast.
It surfs extremely well, is really stable and super fast

This board will get a LOT of fans.
I can't say enough about it!
It's perfect for so many people of all sizes and abilities.... the bonus is, it's also great in flat-water.
The price point on this great looking, durable board is going to surprise a LOT of people!

VERY Nice Creek!!!!  "Wonky" waves looked dynamite!!!!

Say, for 9'5" length it appears you're doing a bit of rail to rail back foot moving for turns, but much at all.....is that right?  Looks like she turns quite easily without a lot of jockeying around, no?

Since I'll be 67 years old in February, it's always nice to see guys our age wave riding. Especially on easy boards.  ;) Enjoy your Sunova since I know you love "The One"".

As always, thanks for sharing your videos.

Sweet!  Great waves too from my standards in Great Lakes chop and slop.  Looks like a great board.  I have a hole in my quiver for something like this!

Looks like a fun board. Does it have a quad setup option and have you ran it that way?

Whatz^
I move my feet all the time, on every board.
At my size and age, there are very few boards I can ride that can be surfed with a fixed back foot.
My Acid is close... if I am on the stomper, I can stay put, but everything else works better if I move my back foot from rail to rail.
The tail of the ONE is fairly narrow, so I don't have to move too much.

The ONE turns very easily for a 32" wide board with relatively low tail rocker and a very shallow single concave.
It handles a hard rail turn on a bigger wave with ease!

TallDude,
no quad option on the One, but the center fin is a US box, so you can play with a lot of fin combo's and placements.
Someday I'll run it as a thruster set-up instead of the 2+1 it came with.

XLRB,
this board should be in a lot of quivers... it is super versatile and doubles as a great "friends & family" board since it is so user friendly.

What a great board. And that session was excellent, love those kind of days that most check and then go home leaving a feast for a board like that.  That a real quiver killer. With the right fins it could take tiny to way over head.

And nice looking carves.

Creek, you are such a good surfer that you make every board look like a ripper.
