9'5 is sweet but just a little small for me at times if choppy this would have been perfect... Next yr maybe...
Looks awesome.. I might have to sell my 9.0 Hokua and get myself something that doesn't require glass for me to balance on it.. How wide is it?

Looks like they have a better deck pad on this one as well, mines (9'5") already falling apart after 3 months use!![]()
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.

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.. ![]()

Price is $1799 and it's available now.
Feedback from the first paddler was a nice increase in stability over the 9'5" that he already owns. I wasn't so sure it would be as when you look at it the rails are finer and it's not that much wider. Anyway, good news for guys looking for a more stable 9'5".

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 .. ![]()

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
I'd love to see a side by side review of both boards.
I would have thought the PSH would be the one slightly off beciase of Naish's work on the windsurfing side of the house. Anyway, both boards sound great.
Did find some comments on the Naish. One person said they thought the nose rocker entry was a little flat and the board was a little too wide once on the wave. Otherwise, great board, and stable in choppy windy conditions.
