Bought my new weapon today. Went into Ocean Addicts and checked out the three new 12'6 Naish Boards. I left with the Javelin. Took it down to the lake to see how it paddled and was really impressed. Not only is it a rocket but I am so impressed with the stability in the kick turns etc. I am looking forward to putting it in the surf tomorrow.
I was originally concerned when reading about the new boards that the stability of the Jav for me for BOP Races might be an issue and was seriously considering the 12'6 Glide. Stoked that I didn't as I found the Javelin really stable. Especially in the kick turns. I have found on some other 12'6 boards that they are dead flat across the bottom and though this seems to make them stable I have found (IMO) that they don't hold that natural feel during a kick turn. The Javelin turn with great stability on the rail. Again I am looking forward to putting this in the surf tomorrow to test it out here.
