I have just received some pics of the new 14' raceboard from Sunny King. The dimensions as listed are 14' x 28" x 5 3/4" @ 10.5 kg's. I know Sunny King isn't one of the big names, but this board looks awesome. I can't wait to get my hands on one to give it a wirl.

Has anybody here ridden one of these???

We included a Sunny King in the SUP VIC / RPS 14' board test last Summer but it was a prototype and much heavier than the one you are looking at. It was 2" wider and 7kg heavier. That's a massive difference. For Nick to have shaved off so much weight from the board, I think it could be a good one.

looks good. prone paddle board influence, some edges on a wide tail. should be plenty stable. a all rounder perhaps.

seems to be the direction for 2013.

some many good boards around atm.

I took one of these out for a short spin in some wind and fairly choppy crap at the SK demo yesterday. I don't usually get on with 28s but this one feels very stable and well-mannered. Tracks well, punches into chop nicely, doesn't seem to get pushed about much in wind and and it likes a runner. The example I used felt a little heavier than 10.5kg (to be fair I'd done a hard 16k run shortly before and was feeling a tad feeble). Not sure I like the 'liftsup' handle but on the plus side it's in the right spot (amazing how some major makers can't get that detail right). All up it felt good, well worth a try if you can get your hands on one to demo, especially at the price point.
