Hi all, After riding my NSP DC Cocomat Sup for the past few months I thought it’d be a good time for a review. Prior to the NSP I was riding a 9’2 Sunova Flow, I like the Flow a lot but I found it was limited when going on my back hand (I ride on my back hand probably 75% of the time) I believe due to the wider tail. Also, I got tired of the LiftSUP handle, I wear mitts in the winter and have to resort to tying a piece of twine to the handle. I do feel the sunova’s are very well made and do not rule out considering one in the future but only if I could get a different handle. I think if the Flow had a slightly narrower tail, slightly wider nose (when digging hard for a wave it’s easy to bury the rail and fall if you’re not careful), this could be my perfect board. Rocker and rails on the Flow are good. When searching for a replacement I wanted something very similar in dimensions. I also want something durable (I only ride one board) and not too expensive. I finally went with the NSP DC Wide Cocomat 8’10 x 32 x 148L. I went with the NSP because I have the NSP DC Cocomat 14’ tour/race board and have had no problems with its construction and I feel it is a very good board. The 14’ I have had for over 4 years still looks new after participating in many long distance paddle events. The price of the NSP 8’10 at $1,300. The NSP rides great, very stable but maneuverable, front side is almost as good as the Flow, back hand is much better than the Flow. The NSP has thicker rails and less rocker so it took me a while to get used to riding steep waves being careful on doing bottom turns and not burying the rail. I didn’t have to think of my frontside on the Flow but NSP I have learned to compensate and now it’s all good. Back hand is great, easy to whip the board around (I believe due to the narrower tail) its very user friendly, cutbacks super easy. Both boards I ride as a quad with a center nubster fin, I really like this setup. The insert carry handle is a dream, all SUPs should have this imo. The jury is out on the NSP’s durability. I immediately installed the RSPro tape so all good there. It has sustained some scratch marks on the front deck, no biggie. What's surprising is there are slight indentations on the standing area where my feet are when standing parallel, I was very surprised by this since my 14’ has none of that. Also, I guess it’s minor but the tail pads color has faded. Oh, I almost forgot the dimensions on the board read 8’10 x 32 x 128l!!! The board is 148L, I thought this was kinda lame in terms of QA but oh well. Finally, nothing to do with durability but the NSP is FCS for quads but the center box is the 2 + 1 or traditional long board fin box so I had to get a special device to insert the nubster fin, seems to work well. Overall, I’m extremely happy with how this board rides. It surfs well in small and big waves (had a blast this weekend surfing Irma). Paddles really well. Me, 53 yrs old, 200 lbs, 5’9. Sup surfing for 7 years, regular surfing for over 30 years.

Thanks for the info on the various boards. I really think I need to demo a few before making a decision. Plus, it seems like no one is interested in my 9'2 Flow so if that doesn't sell everything is on hold.
Back to surf vs sup. Sup surfing is now the number one activity for me but there are times when wave size gets borderline using the sup. No channels where I surf. Nothing is more frustrating then not being able to make it outside when the waves are going off. So I will sup most of the time but want to be able to jump on a surfboard and be comfortable once on my feet. I was really surprised my old board at 8'6 x 21 1/2 x 2 3/4 just didn't feel like enough board.

Hey Mike, wow so glad I started this thread! I'll contact you to try the addvance, I really appreciate it! Good to hear your feedback on Daveysky as well.

Bean - thanks for the information. Boards look nice and being able to demo is such a plus! I'll definitely check it out.
Surfcowboy- well said.

Jjdub- after two sessions on the foamie there were visible dents on the deck, I could see it in the land fill shortly if I had it out on a day like today. I bought it for my daughter, i just wanted to test it out. I'm 5'9ish, 200lbs and fairly fit, exercise regularly although I do have shoulder issues. Surf northern New Jersey all beach break, I'm a goofy foot where most waves are rights, surfing since 1987.
Ipmaui- thanks those 949's are more what I'm looking for. Although, the site doesn't list prices so I imagine their expensive.
Clay- thanks for the info.
Ponobill and frp thanks for your feedback as well.

I just returned from a very fun sup surf session here in NJ, waves were bigger than I expected low tide dumpers. I caught a few and kicked out early then got greedy and got pummeled. Waves nonstop and had to wait on the beach to rest then paddled back out, glad I did cause the waves got real good with the incoming tide. When I couldn't get back out at that moment I was wondering if I should be proning? The spots I surf in jersey are all beachies with no channels. Today was tough but I am satisfied.
I really don't want a longboard, I surf my sup like a short board. The boards I mentioned above from what I read supposedly turn real well even at bigger sizes.
Talldude you are right about higher wave count and I felt today I was getting better rides than the regular Surfers in my vicinity. I still feel the prone board has it's purpose for me.

Hi all,
Probably an odd question for this sight and was wondering if it should go under the "Random" topic but anyway. I'm 53 yrs old started surfing regularly at age 17. About 5yrs ago I took up sup surfing and have done this almost exclusively the past three years. This past summer I prone surfed with my daughter, I rode my old 8'6 x 2 3/4"x 21 1/2" Patagonia Pointblanks surfboard (probably 15yrs old). Even though the board has above dimensions and is heavy it feels like I'm riding a toothpick compared to my sup. On another occasion I surfed a 8ft foam wavestorm and had a blast! There are times I'd still like to regular surf and want to buy a board (not a longboard per se and not a foamie) that will not be a volume shock when I use it.
Researching some boards I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the following: FireWire Addvance, FireWire Submoon, 7S Superfish, Surftech Nugget
Any feedback and recommendations are much appreciated.
Ken

Your symptoms are exactly what I've been dealing with on and off the past year or so. My right hip as well. I'm 53 and in pretty decent physical condition. I've found stretching helps a lot the problem is I don't stretch enough.
Just curious are you a goofy foot? I am.

Interesting twist to this discussion. Who is mdsurf? So if someone wants to purchase a Sunova with a different handle they go to you? STC or JimK is this true? Of course I'm out of luck since I already own one but just curious.
Thanks, Ken

Amazing looking board Rick! What's the volume? Enjoy!
Hi Ken....The volume on the 9'4 is 147.8 liters. I'll be down your way in July... I am sure I'll see you then!
Definitely give me a heads up when you'll be down this way. I'd like you to take my Flow for a spin with the quad + nubster setup, I think the board rides great!
