Gday!
Wanted to share my new sunova longboard! I have a speed 8.10 but wanted something longer...so here it is ! 9.10x29.5 @127 liters
I asked bert for a narrow squash tail and the nose to be more pointy than the style with more rocker also and the result is great! Bert had to reduce the size of the board by 2' to accomodate the change from pintail to square tail and increase the widght by 0.5 inchs..something to do with the fins being too close to the rail otherwise. I kept the tradmark sunova wood finish as i found it timeless and classic look.
Had 2 surfs with it in overhead to chest high and the board performs beyond my expectations..the nose allows for late take off and the squash tail for more abrupt change of direction..it feels bigger than the 127 liters and stability is amazing! Me at 92 kgs early 40' average longboard background and i feel its a one board quiver if required. It is not designed for pure nose riding but allows for some if waves permitting .its a quad + 1 fin set up so you can play with tri or quad or single fin set up based on the mood..
In short cant talk highly enough of the board and the guys at sunova for making this happen!
ok... reason i ask i had a hokua 9'10 ...it liked been ridden on the tail..
but super fast .
nice custom.. one of a kind then .
Nice design Yacine.... right up my alley, I always rode squash tailed longboards!
Can't wait to hear how she goes!
Really nice board and something I would consider if I could get it as a "stocker" stateside. How about some rocker pics?
