Do you guys know if there will be Sunova presence at PPG? Would love to demo the 14' Allaround Faast Pro.

I think that is the first time I've ever seen a sup 14' raceboard surfing waves. I'm guessing the board had a single fin.

Thanks for sharing the video.

That pivot turn to catch the wave at 0:15 was impressive for a 14' board!

The one on the dugout at 2:15 didn't look quite as smooth ;)

  The 25" is very, very stable and a very big board. While I didn't like it much strictly downwinding it should excel in the type of in/out ocean stuff in that video. It would also be good in general chop. I wouldn't want to be caught in flat water on it but for bigger guys it's probably worth a look, I felt it was just a bit too much board at 170. I think it was 300 liters or so but it seemed like more than that. My big gripe was the sandpaper finish on the deck instead of a deck pad, there is no way to get back on that board without tearing your skin up.

Good point Digger, it does demonstrate the limits of a dug-out on a pivot turn.  But, very few could do such a solid cross-bow turn and make that wave. 

Great vid STC!

I would, but I'm still hoblin' on my broken ankle Rick.  But no worries, it's getting better.
