Cool board Dogman! Just out of interest how much do you weigh and what thickness is the board at a guess? Cheers.
Last time I saw Dogman he was about 150kg's with a pie in each hand

I reckon his board would only be 10 litres more than Goaties (if that)

but he rides it no worries in fact he rips it. So maybe overall litres isn't as critical as everyone makes out , all my boards are under litred for my 90 kegs.

haha so true, yeh about 150kg with pies in hand and rum in the gut.... but only if it's Piros's rum!!!!
alright, alright stop your yelling! the low down on the board
yes under me it is a submarine but not THAT bad!
I LOVE my 9'3 NAISH .............
....... but..............
I am IN LOVE

with THE GREEN HORNET!
I have had my NAISH 9'3 for about 500 days and have ridden it at least 800 times, in every possible condition from 1/4 ft (First Point Noosa) to 10ft+ top to bottom barrels...

(undisclosed location) and loved EVERY micro second of it! This board has been the most durable board, as apart from a few superficial paint chips from hacking the rails with my paddle like an axe wielding champion at the easter show on the right hand side and a few knees, elbows and helmet bumps, the board is clean.
I have only had The Green Hornet for about 2 weeks (surfed it at least 20 times, divorce proceedings have started

, a life size cardboard cut out of me has been erected on the toilet for when the kids ask as apparently I have diro and have been there for 2 weeks) oh yeah and I have ridden it 1ft dribble to 4 to 5 ft bumpy and fat!
Comparing the 2 so early is difficult as I have yet to really see how the Green Hornet performs in more conditions.... in saying that though so far so good, and I am sooooooooooooo pumped about some big, sucky, clean waves!
The NAISH 9'3 has definately NOT been retired to my board cemetery.......... YET!

lol
Not to take anything away from the NAISH 9' 3, BUT I have to say of course there are going to be MASSIVE differences between the two boards!
Tully and Co did awesome job, the design ideas have seriously blown me away
The whole board just works!!!

Anyway enough arse kissing of these 2 boards here r the differences so far:
overall rail outline and positioning of wide point and rocker line- definately faster rail to rail
extremely aggressive [}:)] single concave into double concave- picks up speed fast and grips awesome in turns
towed out side fins- overall performance setup
rear fin box with wider range of adjustment- have played around a bit with fin placement and loving the dramatic difference it is making to the board
lighter in weight
BUT damn no carry handle!! - lighter to carry but more awkward in the howling southerlies and lugging the board for long distances over rough terrain

green v's yellow- nice change sort of complements my seedy out dated 80's metal head appearance at 6am in the morning after a gig when i stroll in side ways from an all night bender and say hi to the kids having breakfast with dogmansbitch's "NOT HAPPY JAN" stare OF DEATH................lol...............
durabilty- not enough time to comment yet but feels extremely durable and my shins have come off second best on the rail a few times already
to be continued.................
