My best Autry imitation. I'm still working on it!
Strange, but this blunt nose board punches through waves with the ease of a pointy nose. By the way, I didn't fall.

Sunset Session
Fun sunset session at the house. I tried the 8'10 first. That didn't go too well. I caught 2 waves and fell 10 times. A little too choppy out there from the all day NNE wind for that little ripper. Photos on the 9'5 tonight. If you look closely, you can get an idea of how much rocker this board has.

Nice! I thought that 3rd picture was NCBA testing the Mana out! :)
Looking good!
I can't wait to have everyone together again. So many new boards!
I've been riding Butch's 10' SubV.

Great pics and perfect little waves for the SUP no one else would be that interested i!
Hi Dwight,
Can you offer a short comparison between the 9'5" and your SV ?
I presently ride an SV in French beach breaks and would be interested to hear why you now prefer the 9'5" over the SV ?
thanks!

Jim,
9'5 is more stable than SV. Surprisingly, the nose is turned up enough that it feels about like the SV on steep drops. I think the 9'5 catches waves slightly earlier.
The SV spins on the tail quicker. That may be the quad advantage showing.
I have to move around on the deck more with the 9'5 because of the width. The 9'5 rails sink and hold better.
I would not replace a SV with the 9'5 unless you were looking for:
1) more stability
2) or you want to switch to a 2 board quiver, like the 9'5 and 8'10 or 9'5 and 9'3.
Thanks Dwight.
I guess I need to try a 9'5" sometime to see which I like best!

Hi Dwight this is Bobby with the blue sv, I was wondering how much are you selling your raceboard for.
I'm am selling it for my cost of materials. $900
