Was just perusing though the photos of the recent Naish race in France and saw this board looks like a prototype, any thoughts on whether this is the new Naish flat water board?

Only reason I thought this was Naish's new board was because you had to be on a Naish board to compete (although thought I saw some other boards there as well).

Additionally it has that square flat rear end that Naish seem to love on their 14 and 17 boards (as opposed to a pin tail)

The Naish 17 goes to a Pin. The 14 is actually a 15 foot pin tail, with 1 foot cut off (IMO)

Definitely looks like Naish has reluctantly followed Starboard into the sunken deck terrain.

It's hard to tell by that pic but it's nothing like what I thought the new Naish flat water 14 would look like.

I don't think it is it but we should know soon.

I thought Robby was very anti sunken decks and making his Naish boards look like Naish boats.

If these pics are for real, Robbie Naish appears to have taken a gulp of pride and buckled under the weight of pressure from his team riders. Funny thing is, I know that guys like Lummers totally agree with Robbie's principle, yet still needs a quick board to compete.

i personally think you can make a fast board without being inside it. it's the stability that's the issue

Too funny Dogman !

I'm NOT saying where I saw the new Naish flatwater thing, but it was far more canoe orientated than this one..... perhaps I saw an early 'proto', but what I saw seemed like 'fair dinkum' marketing for the real thing......

PS - I was sworn to secrecy, and I was told that "I never saw this/that"......

In round-a-bout terms, the new Naish Flatwater, was a cross-over from a Naish 14 with a flat rocker, and a few tweaks..... which gives away nothing here !!

Look at this pic.. They might be two different prototypes? (or maybe board A is the Starboard Pin?)

I'm guessing board B is the real deal.

DJ - I think your Board B, is the one in Zimbo Reagan's pic. But the one I saw was a little different again.... A little more like a old school Canadian Canoe Nose.... you know how the current 14 has a little bit of an old school nose...... but new one with a flatter rocker........

As we discussed the current 14 rocker is good for surf, down-wind, chop, etc, but the new 14 will no doubt be river orientated.

It seems that the guy in the foreground is on an aircraft carrier. Is that fair?

The foregound is a Naish 14 I believe. A White one. There are other yellow railed naish 14's in picture too. (Top, Left & Middle, although middle might be a 12.... - but Top & Left seem to be yellow railed 14's).

PS - yes they are commonly confused for Aircraft Carriers and Venetian Gondolas.

Hi,

None of the boards are Naish protoptypes,

Board A is a Starboard Pin
Board B is a custom board made out of an old kayak :

It was the first race for the owner of this board (built by his brother, finished few hours only before the start of the race) and he takes 3rd, well done !

Thanks for that Eric..

It looked odd from what you could see in the picture.. I'm glad I was right about the Pin and I don't expect the new Naish to have such a square tail.

Have not heard anything on that for age's and i have a feeling that we might not as there's not much intrest in that type of class board. where as the 14ft class is going to be huge.

This 14 looks like a good shape and i'm keen to get one on the water and do some tests between different boards.

shock DJ I thought you had your ear to the ground with everything Naish.

I am still undecided about square or pin tail.

I know the whole argument about "release" (well not whole argument but a little) with the pin tail but with the pin tail comes a little less stablity which means you have to go wider in the middle like the Pin to compensate. Which increases drag in any event.

blah blah blah enough crap cannot wait to demo and hear what DJ/ Jacko have to say.
