SUP General / MDI Maine????
« on: September 19, 2019, 09:19:09 AM »
I’ve heard of two places to surf up here, ones a pretty good hike that I’m not into lugging the Point Break into it. Anyone know of any decent breaks up here in Downeast Maine, MDI in particular?

Stuck up here working but have my boards!

Thx

Time for a dedicated Sunova thread as she’s taking shape. Seven are being made for USA, I believe there’re three or four available. Here’s pics as of yesterday, more to come as they progress! Cheers

Sunova SUP / Sunova Balsa Paddles

Sorry if these have been reported on already, but just noticed these on their website, look beauty! Anyone out there have some time with them, how's the flex?

Blade size is perfect but don't want it to stiff, found that my shoulders like a little softer flex!

Cheers,
JB

Gear Talk / BigBoy 12' Sunova Search
« on: December 17, 2018, 07:27:16 AM »
I thought some fellow Zoners would like to follow this custom build so I start a dedicated thread. Christmas present to myself!

It all started like this: Thought this would be fun and appealing to the big boys out there, and after seeing that beautiful Sunova "Nozza" Search.

My Specs: 6'3", 230#trunking, 53yo, decent all around waterman. I've sent Bert, Tino & Rick an inquiry with my ideas/mods on a custom using the 12' Search 12x30"x4.5" 179L as a starter. I want a 12' board to access Pt Breaks  that are a couple miles out, want it to be a good paddler w/glide and max stability that can surf 2' to 10'.

Well we've settled in with the following and I can't wait to surf it.

Basic dims 12' x 32" x 4.75" @ 198L. Emerald Green Resin Tint

Cheers!

Sunova SUP / Sunova Kiteboard
« on: November 20, 2018, 12:12:52 PM »
I know this isn't SUP but Rick hooked me up with a Sunova Boss surfboard that is now my favorite KiteStick, super light and totally bomber, these things make killer kitesurfing boards! 8)

Gear Talk / Concept Sunova: Big Boy Bombora

Thought this would be fun and appealing to the big boys out there, and after seeing that beautiful Sunova "Nozza" Search, it got me thinking. Thought I would post here and see where it goes.

My Specs: 6'3", 230#trunking, 53yo, decent all around waterman. I've sent Bert, Tino & Rick an inquiry with my ideas/mods on a custom using the 12' Search 12x30"x4.5" 179L as a starter. I want a 12' board to access Pt Breaks  that are a couple miles out, want it to be a good paddler w/glide and max stability that can surf 2' to 10'. I look fwd to Bert's feedback.

Below are my suggested mods:
~ 5 Fin setup. want to run Quad and Single fin
~ Bump width and/or thickness to add stability & volume for my size. Q; does added rail curve help turning?
~ Round pintail
~ Maybe add a little nose kick?
~ 2x leash plugs and a nose GoPro/FCS plug
~ Updated new and improved carry handle?

I've checked out the Atlantis Venom & Jimmy Lewis Bombora type boards to incorporate into the Search design. Look fwd to everyones thoughts.

Wonder if there's anyone else out there who would be into a board like this?

Cheers,
JB (RbGar)
