Hey guys,

Just thought i'd share... :)

I picked up my new Custom Sunova today from DHL....

After much patience on Bert and the Sunova team's behalf we came up with the following:

10'4" x 28.5 x 4.1" - 140.4L - Perfomance Longboard; based off a 10'6" SURF; with some tweaks.

Compared to the standard SURF we:

reduced volume by 18L
narrowed it 1.5" and took 2" off the length
flattened the tail rocker to give it more performance / squirt off the tail
added a 4 + 1 fin set up
added a recessed deck (similar to a Nalu - but shallower)
changed the apex and shape of the rails (gave them a harder edge)
we also removed the sail mast mount and deck plugs
and finally added my nickname on the bottom ;)

I wasn't after a noserider at all as it's not really my style, I was looking for a "perfomance" longboard surfed off the tail like a short prone surfboard with added glide for long point break conditions up to around 1.5 x OH.

I didn't want to go too low in volume as I want this to be a wave catching machine for 3 hour + sessions...BTW I hover between 100-105kg...

I love the smooth ride, construction, look and customisation offered by Sunova so I never considered another brand.

Hopefully the conditions tomorrow are good!

Here's a pic of me playing around with the fin set up... I'm going to try the quad set up first.








I hope they don't mind me sharing the design pics...
