This little beast just lobbed in store today. Got to say it looks like a lot of fun.


Sam.

9'5 is sweet but just a little small for me at times if choppy this would have been perfect... Next yr maybe...

Dimensions are 9'10" x 30.25" x 4.25" x 155L.

Rocker looks kinda flat in the pic. Is the deck concave?

Anyone know what GT means in the name?

Does it say who the shaper was on the bottom?

Apparently Naish are going away from the words 'wood' and 'AST' and these new letters will be what the constuction is..

There will be GT=Carbon/Wood.. GS=AST.. GX=Carbon.. MC=HollowCarbon and LE=Limited Edition.

Harold is the shaper of the new 9'10" Hokua and we will see his name on most Naish boards for the next year because they have a lot of his shapes still coming.. Maybe tweaked Iggy shapes.

This new 9'10" is much more thinned out and supposed to be a high performance big-boys board.. I can't wait to try one.

Hey Dj, I paddled this new 9'10 recently and reckon the ideal weight range would be 85kg-105kg. It's very stable for it's size and kick turns really well. Luke

The rocker looks really good to me.. Love how the board is thinned out.. I'd rather a slightly bigger board thinned out than a short one that's puffed up..

Hi Zeusman,

The deck where you stand actually has a slight double concave not single concave.

Got a stack of customers demoing the board this morning so will give some feedback after that.

Sam.

Cool. Look forward to the feedback.
Really liking the look of this board. When will they be available & do you have a price yet?

Just noticed the black tip's missing from the nose.. Great.. I guess it could be added after the first nose ding if you can't match the yellow ..

You mean they will produce surf boards (not just glide ones) in Carbon, kinda BC of Starboard?

Not sure?.. I think the GX will be for the carbon race boards like the current Jav.

DJ

I'd love to see a side by side review of both boards.

Naish 9'10" x 30.25" x 4.25" x 155L. Looks sweet!
It would be great to test this board beside the PSH 9'11 Ripper
Very similar dimensions:
PSH 9'11" x 31" x 4 3/8" Vol = 140L

What's up with Naish and measuring volumes?
How can a shorter, narrower and thinner board of the two, have 15 more liters of volume?
