Yesterday I checked out the new shop at St Kilda.. Kite Republic have a new sup only shop.
It's right next to the bike shop and opposite the entrance to the St Kilda sea baths pool.
I checked out two new 2016 Naish boards.. Pop in and say hi to Warwick..
I think the official opening is tomorrow with a big social paddle planed for the morning..
Do they only sell Naish?
No.. there's lots of colours to choose from..
Do they only sell Naish?
No they've got red boards there as well AA. In fact the Fanatic demo is there on Saturday. The demo van is there with all of the wave boards, race boards and fun boards. It'll be a great opportunity to check out the new gear including the new Stubbie, Wave Master and Diamond for the ladies.
Didn't you get a chance to try the new Javelin Maliko, DJ?
Yes.. I paddled it yesterday in warm sunny and glassy conditions.. Looks great.. Felt great.. Felt fast.. But when it got a bit choppy it felt a bit tippy for me.. Still pretty stable for a 26" wide board.. I took some vid that I'll post soon.. Can't wait to try it on a downwinder..
I have my fingers crossed that Naish do a big-boy version of it..

Is that Warwick from ex RPS ?
What paddles do they stock? Thinking of the new fanatic carbon 80.
Naish and Fanatic for sure.. and probably others.
