Naish Maliko 2020 14’ x 26” x 273 Liter - $800

The most mature shape on the market still in production. A great sprint board with amazing downwind abilities as its name suggests. Suited for every water activity you’re seeking and fun to paddle.

The board took a hit on the nose from a paddle which cracked the skin. Didn’t go all the way to the foam. Board is still light and watertight. Other than that just scratches and paint chips. Board works just as new.

It is a used board and it looks like one hence the price, a new one is over $3,100.

Won't ship but willing to drive couple of hours and meet. Long Island, NY

From Naish site:

The Maliko models have a legacy of being the best 14-foot open ocean and sprint boards around. These race-winning shapes have garnered an endless collection of high-ranking results across a variety of race types including the M2O World Championships, all varieties of sprint races, and all-time wins at downwind races (such as the Naish Gorge Paddle Challenge and many other downwind race circuits on Maui). 
 The raised nose rocker, combined with the added volume in the nose, widens the sweet spot for trimming when on a glide and creates a smooth nose entry when connecting bumps. The rail has been refined with a smooth, rounded nose that transitions into a forgiving midsection, which finally morphs into sharp rails through the tail. The sharp rails through the pin tail create a clean release for higher top speeds when on a glide while providing excellent control when steering and connecting bumps.
Not only a downwind board; the Maliko also has a proven track record as the sprint board of choice for multiple ISA World Champion and 2x Red Bull Heavy Water Winner Casper Steinfath. The all-star took this board to victory in multiple technical sprints and broke records paddling from Denmark to Norway on his Viking Crossing Tour. Input from Steinfath has made this board into the race-winning, all-water superstar it is today.
