Speaking of black, where are the shots of your 2 piece custom on a wave or two?

That's really great - I'd probably buy one if it was a production board. However, black isn't a particularly clever choice if you live in a warm climate, much as it looks good.

There are so few brands making longer boards that aren't longboards, nor big beginner barges. Hypr Nalu Hawaii make some but not that many others. So it's good to know that there is the option of a Sunova custom.

AA:

Tell us more about the shape, how you spec'd your old board so that he knew what to do. Looks like less rocker for speed and faster paddling, but with highly curved outline for radical turning. Usu. see a lot of V with swallow tail? What conditions do you anticipate? Easy to paddle into waves, but can stay on the tail once on the wave?

The customer bought his old board in and we had a good look over it. There was nothing close in the Sumova range so we conveyed the critical dimensions to Burt and he worked his magic. It is a performance 10'er with pretty straight rails through the middle. He never missed a wave on his old board and he loved the way it turned. It's actually Navy Waiting on a report from the customer.

I like the graphic fade

Nice! Very nice! And yes. Great service Sunova.

Interesting this board straight after the Starby Element, think these longer performance shapes are such great all-rounders. I've got a 5 year old 9 x 29 118l Starboard Pro that I just love (that's a big board for me at 64kg!)
Strangely the only place I really use it is Gnaraloo, reasonably critical powerful reef break and frequently very strong offshore winds. The extra length gives me half a chance to actually get onto the wave, without being as stupid critical as you need to be with a board under 8'.
Sorry to go off topic, bloody nice looking board!
