Wowser!!.. I just heard about these new boards and here they are.. That 8'4" looks like a bigboy 8'0".. Very nice.

Thanks for the pics.. They look great..

.. Naish really are on a roll..

A soft top 10' Mana..

.. It's about time Naish brought out a real learners board that would be great for SUP schools.

Are the softies soft on the rails too , I want one for my boat and the kids keep cracking my rails on the boat.

That 10-0 Mana looks pretty good at $999.

Surf was messy and small at Longy so I just took the 10' out. Seems like she surfs almost exactly the same as the normal Mana just get a little sketchy on the grip as the fins start loading up when the surf gets some size but then that's not what this model is about.

Fully soft everywhere. Base, rails, nose, tail and fins. Sweet setup for boats and the family.

Will have both the 10' soft and the 8'4" at the SPSC event this weekend. So if anyone is keen to try just ask me on Sunday.

Specs on the 8'4" are 8'4" x 27 1/2" x 4 3/8" x $1699. Not too sure of the volume but I'd guess 100-105. Thruster set up with maybe a slightly flatter rocker through the midsection.

Cheers,

Sam.

Imagine how I feel knowing this board is coming and all I get to do now Is look at it. I'm sure if anyone would like to have a ride on this good looking board they can pop in and grab it.

That soft Mana will be ideal for our new sport of SUP polo (patent pending).

SUP polo! What a great idea!! I used to play canoe polo and that was a blast, imagine crash tackling someone as they are about to pass the ball

Might be an idea for the next Mambo

Sounds like a great idea, I've also played canoe polo but SUP polo would be awesome.

Would be good fun for interclub social comps as well?

I just received my nice new 8'4. and O my god. When i first unwraped it i was a bit worry it wont carry 88kg's of pure power, but it did. It turns so sharp and easy, really easy run and off the top with so much ease. Im so happy right now....
