SoloShot wasn't working for this swell but you can hear me grunting through some juicy waves on my 8'10 Ghost Up
This was the first time I really got to test the Ghost Up in waves with some size.... it stuck to the face and carved solid turns!
Totally comfortable on steep walls, even though most waves ran me down with punishing efficiency

I have been in Florida since I got my Ghost Up.... so no opportunities to test it in any serious waves yet.
Making a video now using clips from several sessions to give some kind of look at my 8'10 Ghost Up.

Here are some pics from yesterdays windy, lumpy session.... such a fun board that does everything well

Great job NZ SUP community! So many great surf areas on the North Island.. great to hear that SUP has respect from the water crew!
Thanks for the pic... stay stoked everyone!

Thanks Tardy
I'll just play around with fin size.

I like it with 4.7" sides and a 3.6" center.... unless more juice, then I go thruster with Mixed Quobba's (4.7 sides, 4.5" center)

Thanks for trusting the design.... I am sure you will love it, it's a super fun board!!

Seen a vid and a couple.of pics of this new board. It looks like a nice shape.
How does it compare to the revolution, looks the the nose is pulled in a bit, is there much difference in the rocker?
Anyone tried it?

Hi Tom

I have had he Sunova Shorty for about a month and have had a few small wave sessions in Florida.
It looks similar to the Revolution, but surfs quite differently.... I never really synced up with my Revolution, but I really like the Shorty.
These are the only sessions I have had on it, so I put some clips together to answer your questions.

I will note a list differences below.

Outline: Shorty more pulled in front 1/3rd, and slightly more before the hip. More outline curve overall.
Length: 9'2" vs 9'0", this also adds additional curve in the rocker and line length, improving glide and helping to surf tighter in the pocket.
Bottom: Shorty has a concave from nose through to mid section, whilst Revo is flat throughout.

Overall the pulled in nose and other small amendments of the Shorty just makes it a more playful, performance orientated board.

Really fun and easy to surf.... not a super stability board because of thin rails and lowish volume, but the overall shape makes it fairly comfortable.

I can't wait... mine is almost here!
He really lays out what the Ghost Up does and what makes it work
