Decided to write this because the guys who came up with the sunova board options must have done some serious testing.
The board is a flow 8'10" /31" wide 119 ltres . This board is a dream, sure there are variables depending on the conditions.
Descend into a bottom turn on a decent wave and you,re away, carve over the face, drop into steep sections that you normally wouldn't expect to make and stall it anywhere you want this board is true performance.When you first pick it up this board actually looks and feels like a surfboard it doesn't look big the ratio between you and the board is perfect the bottom curve and rail outlines are all how they would look on performance short board i haven't seen another wave/sup with this much refinement.
The weight comparison to a 8'10" jp surf pro is virtually identical. Pull up handle works well,light colour materials means the board stays cool if left in the sun, the clear finish masks the usual rail chips.
A sunova dealer could have one available to demo or just pick one up put it under your arm you,ll soon know which one feels right sometimes its that simple , anyway thats what i did and it worked out well
