Good stuff. <br />As far as durability is concerned, I have nailed my 9'3 for 18 months and apart from a few rail chips that I have had touched in I've had no issues. Pretty bomb proof I reckon for such a light board - hope the new ones are the same.csx355https://www.blogger.com/profile/06393989287734478544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917314788148682800.post-69567104363485885912010-09-12T08:42:23.381-04:002010-09-12T08:42:23.381-04:00The Mana series gets its glide from extra width.

Not as much fun in my opinion.<br /><br />Here is what Naish says about the 9'0<br /><br />Mana 9’0’’<br />The Mana 9’0” is the ideal choice for lighter riders in small surf, or heavier riders looking for increased floatation in a shorter board. The Mana 9’0” fuses a compact design with a wider platform, offering incredible stability and easy maneuvering in the surf. The Mana’s exaggerated tail rocker combined with its soft rails allows for smooth and snappy turns, making surfing effortless for riders of any ability.<br />9’0” x 29 5/8” x 4”, 140L<br />Construction: Sandwich Wood<br />Fin Set-up: 2+1<br /><br /><br />When was the last time you heard "snappy turns" in a longboard SUP!NC Paddle Surferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06212098135959584538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917314788148682800.post-83096035758288289382010-09-12T08:04:52.627-04:002010-09-12T08:04:52.627-04:00looks like a lot of rocker, must fit in the curl o...looks like a lot of rocker, must fit in the curl of the wave but hows the glide and flatwater paddling , .gjbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088589350697390900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917314788148682800.post-44173010427583911492010-09-11T07:17:55.158-04:002010-09-11T07:17:55.158-04:00back in 2009 the was a big stink about naish board...back in 2009 the was a big stink about naish boards not having a stringer and quality was in question.<br /><br />has anything changed for 2010?rdmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694471208935725916noreply@blogger.com
