just after some info on the litres of these boards if anyone knows cheers K also in the site pics the ocean board looks to have a piercing nose which I like can anyone confirm this. The sonic ocean race has a very flat rocker with more of a flat water nose but is described as bulbous? Also out of the 5 sizes in the picture only one has the pieracing nose the rest are bulbous as stated in the board description?

Thanks JEG , Paul.j I agree can anyone from or with NSP confirm the ltrs of your boards thanks

This subject is still doing my head in these are two of the big name flat water boards in their biggest construction size and they are still miles away from the ninja ? Anyone anyone !










The last is the 23 Nija which is the smallest in the range and aparently 366 ltrs

Just saying. I trialled the 21.5 Sprint the other day and DAM that board is super stable. I reckon the wider tail is a winner. I then went out on the previous 23 inch Sprint and it was about as stable as the 21.5.

would like to try either width sprint oneday.

All the DC and the new NSP boards I have seen have been super solid if anything. I thought the new Nija is over constructed and a little heavy but well built , what a shame yours wasn't the same. can I ask what year your board is breezing and what model cheers K

Awesome Jeg lucky guy , I personally find demoing boards like Xmas can I ask you did the sonic in that size have a inverted bulbous nose cheers

I think you'll find the higher volume listed on the NSP website includes the displacement volume of the dugout area - hence the reference to "reserve volume" in the marketing description.
As a comparison, a 25" wide Starboard Ace would have a volume of close to 400 litres if the dugout area was included in their volume description.
Perhaps Starboard leave it out to stop people losing their mind.
Don't be alarmed, at the end of the day the board doesn't have too much volume - it's just the design.

And it works - hence why there are so many dugouts around now from other manufacturers eg. DEEP, ONE, NSP, DC, plus Starboard.

I know it's not always possible but the best thing is to try a board before we dismiss it. You'll surprise yourself on what you can paddle.

As a reference I am 6'2" 105kg and regularly paddle a 25" Ace comfortably for racing, flatwater training and DWing. It sometimes has it's challenges but the rewards far outweigh the disadvantages.

I wouldn't hesitate to paddle one of the dugouts from the other brands - they look and go awesome!
