Style and ease equals Steeze

[Tom]

Just got my new 9'6" Sunova Steeze and got to ride it in surf mostly waste high, some bigger a lot smaller. Bert's design thoughts: "A lot of boards in the SUNOVA range are for the SUP’ing purist, being dedicated condition and style specific designs, so there was a large number of requests for a board that did a bit of everything. People were asking for the paddle power, glide and nose riding of the Style with the performance of the Acid, (yea right) anyway , challenge accepted, so we got pretty close…."
I'd say that discribes it very well. 

It's very very stable and paddles great. The paddling is one of the reasons I chose it. I wanted a board my wife would enjoy flatwater paddling yet light enough (21 1/2 lbs) for her to be able put on her car.

It catches and rides any wave. Riding down the line feels like driving a Cadelac but turns and surfs like its suppose to. I'm not much of a nose rider but I was able to pull off a couple of cheater-5s.

This was the first time I've ridden a board over 9 feet or 31" wide and had to adjust a bit to that. I was more use to sitting inside and making a quick turn to catch a late drop. I couldn't whip the 145 liters around very fast, but could easily glide into waves early. Once on the wave I could go fast down the line or make S-turns on the face. I'd say this is basically a high performance all-rounder, if there is such a thing.

Good to hear Tom

I have a 9’6 Steeze coming soon, so I am stoked to ride it!

At my weight (235 lbs)  the 9’6 should be perfect.

Creek, I'm sure you'll love it. I think the 9 6 would be great for anyone who is larger and wants to shred the waves. Also for someone who is just getting into the waves and wants something stable and easy to catch waves with but advanced enough that they'd enjoy it after they progress. Now I want to try the 8'10 or 8'6 but I'm not giving up my 8'10 speed.
