SUP Boards
Nalu Series - All-around longboard versatility
Longboard style SUP’s that are easy to ride and offer outstanding performance in a wide range of conditions.
The Nalu series is the ideal choice for first time paddlers, flatwater cruisers, small wave surfers and high-performance wave riders.

Nalu 11’6”
The Nalu 11’6” is the standard by which all other full sized SUPs are judged. This board is thick and stable, and surfs rail-to-rail like a much shorter board. Suitable for riders even above 200 lbs., the Nalu 11’6” features classic lines, unbeatable construction, and awesome all-around appeal.
11’6” x 29 ¾”x 5 ½” , 231L
Construction: Sandwich Wood or AST
Fin Set-up: Single

Nalu 11’4”
The Nalu 11’4” is the high-performance sibling to the 11’6”. It is thinner and has more outline curve and rocker, with a one-plus-two fin setup. The 11’4’’ provides excellent all-around riding performance and effortless longboard style rail-to-rail carving. Its volume-to-width ratio also make it an ideal beginner board for lighter riders.
11’4” x 30” x 4 ½” , 180L
Construction: Sandwich Wood or AST
Fin Set-up: 2+1 or Single

Nalu 10’6”
The Nalu 10’6”, with its single-concave nose, double-concave center section and V–tail, is a one-board- solution for the middle-weight rider up to 200 pounds. It has classic lines, great stability, and the size to handle everything from knee slappers to double overhead surf.
10’6” x 28” x 4 ¾” , 153L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1

Nalu 9’6’’
While working with Dave Kalama, Harold Iggy created the Nalu 9’6” to bring his powerful longboard style of riding to the SUP world. The single-concave bottom offers plenty of stability, while it’s narrower outline, rocker, and 3 fin thruster set-up deliver huge turning potential.
9’6” x 28” x 4 ¾”, 135L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1

Nalu 9’0’’
The Nalu 9’0” is the smallest board in the Nalu series. It has a high-performance single-concave shape that is a downsized version of the Nalu 9’6’’, with focus on riders under 170 lbs. Its compact size and shape make it an ideal choice for lightweights and girls, as well as experts.
9’0” x 26 ¼” x 4”, 120L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1


Hokua Series - Performance shortboard-style
The Hokua series combines shortboard surfing characteristics with the cutting-edge performance of modern SUP design. These boards excel at pumping down the line, tail slides and massive carving turns. Yet, they provide float and glide to maximize your ride.

Hokua 11’6’’ Gun
The Hokua 11’6” Gun is the ultimate SUP for serious big surf. The single- concave entry with a slight double- concave mid-section and V-tail, is combined with extra width in the nose area to help you get in early. The narrow pintail shape delivers the speed and control you need for going big. It is also good fun in small surf.
11’6” x 28 ¼” x 4 ¼”, 143L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: Single

Hokua 10’8’’ and 9’8” Gun
With the big wave success of the 11’6’’ gun, we decided to add two smaller performance gun models to the range. These boards feature single-concave bottom shapes with an accelerated V out the tail making them easy to control at high speeds. The increased tail kick, at 8 inches from the tail, allows these boards to still turn loose and tight. The 9’8’’ was Kai Lenny’s choice during his winning performance at the Sunset Beach Stand-up Contest.
10’8” x 27 1/8” x 4 1/8”, 138L
9’8” x 27 1/8” x 4 1/8”, 130L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1

Hokua 9’6’’
The 9’6’’ is an extremely popular, versatile shortboard-style SUP board. With its fast rocker, it can be ridden with either a quad or thruster FCS fin set-up. The wide nose facilitates nose riding, and its hybrid outline delivers an excellent balance of long and shortboard riding styles.
9’6” x 29 ¼” x 4 3/8”, 135L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1 or Quad

Hokua 9’0” and 8’5”
With the sport of stand-up paddling growing at a high speed, the development of performance SUP boards does not come to a stop. After setting the standard in short board style stand-up boards, we came up with two new designs that are poised to raise the existing standard.
Both boards combine a single-concave entry section in the nose area with a double-concave center section leading into an accelerated V out the tail. The increased tail kick allows these shapes to release off the top effortlessly while the center V-section keeps the shape loose and easy to steer during the bottom turn.
Unlike many other boards, the design of the 9’0’’ and 8’5’’ does not require you to shift body weight over the rocker as much, resulting in a shortboard-style riding. Both boards also feature a newly introduced deck concave, making balancing easier.
9’0” x 28 ¾” x 3 ¾”, 125L
8’5” x 28” x 3 ¾” , 115L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1/Quad

Hokua 8’0”
The Hokua 8’0” is an unreal small SUP board for progressive groms, and ultra-light riders. With this board, the next generation will take the sport to a whole new level.
8’0” x 26 1/8” x 3 ¾”, 95L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1

Hokua 7’8” and 7’3”
The Hokua 7’3’’ & 7’8” lead the pack for stand-up boards designed for beach break surf conditions. While the classic SUP friendly breaks allow the use of longer boards with more momentum, these boards target the short and steep beach breaks that are common in many areas.
The shortness of the boards allow them to fit into these conditions better while delivering acceleration and tight turns. Due to its size we recommend the 7’3” model for riders up to 165 pounds with a high skill level. While the 7’8” will perform for riders up to 190 pounds.
7’8” x 29 ¼” x 4 ½”, 105L
7’3” x 28 ¼” x 4 ½”, 100L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1/Quad




Mana Series - Short, wide & stable
Stand-up paddling and catching waves has never been easier. These compact shapes offer great “throw-around” handling and outstanding stability.

Mana 10’5’’ ASA
The Mana 10’5’’ ASA is a beginner board designed for flatwater. Its width and stability make it incredibly easy for people of all weights and sizes. The short length of the Mana 10’5’’ allows for effortless turning. It features ASA skin technology, which makes it extremely durable and the ultimate board for beginners, hotels, resorts, and beach rentals. No learning necessary, just stand up and paddle!
10’5” x 35 ¼” x 5 3/8”, 251L
Construction: ASA
Fin Set-up: Single

Mana 10’0’’ and Mana 10’0’’ AST
The Mana 10’0” is a fun board for small surf and people of all sizes. The Mana’s width and short length make stand-up paddling in waves easy to learn. Its single-concave bottom shape and rocker profile set the standard in terms of stability and turning. These features make surfing simple and fun!
10’0” x 32” x 4 ¾”, 210L
Construction: Sandwich Wood or AST
Fin Set-up: 2+1

Mana 10’0’’ Soft Top
Featuring the same shape as the Mana 10’0’’ and Mana 10’0’’ AST the soft top/ slick bottom construction offers everything a beginner needs. The embossed deck area provides sufficient grip and is very skin friendly. The 3D rail protection makes this model resilient against damage caused by the paddle or any other hard objects. The slick bottom and soft fins provide additional safety for the rider and their surroundings. All of the protective features make the Mana 10’0’’ Soft Top the ideal choice for river runs as well.
10’0” x 32” x 4 ¾”, 210L
Construction: SanSoftT Top/Slick Bottom
Fin Set-up: 2+1

Mana 9’5’’ and Mana 9’5’’ AST
The Mana 9’5” is the smaller sibling to the 10’0’’. It’s an awesome first board for lighter riders in small surf or larger riders looking for superb wave performance with added float and stability.
9’5” x 31” x 4 ¾”, 190L
Construction: Sandwich Wood or AST
Fin Set-up: 2+1


Mana 9’0’’
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.
9’0” x 29 5/8” x 4”, 140L
Construction: Sandwich Wood
Fin Set-up: 2+1



Glide Series - Flatwater touring & racing
With the Naish Glide, you’ll never look at flatwater the same way again. For everything from recreational paddling and fitness training to competitive racing, the Glide range sets a new standard in SUP.

Glide 17’0’’
The Glide 17’0” is a pure distance race board with one target in mind…WINNING! It is Dave Kalama’s board of choice for racing. Experience amazing glide in flatwater and lightning speed in the biggest open ocean swells. It features a rudder system that allows adjustment between goofy and regular foot riders.
17’0” x 26 ¾” x 5 ¾”, 321L
Construction: Carbon
Fin Set-up: Steering System

Glide 14’0’’ + Glide 14’0’’ AST
The Glide 14’0’’ is designed as a shorter version of the 17’0’’ without the rudder system. It features a wider tail release for easier glide. In flatwater or the open ocean, this board combines the speed of an unlimited class board, with the ease of a fixed fin design. The Glide 14’0” is uncomplicated and accessible for cruising or racing alike.
14’0” x 27 ¼” x 5 ¾”, 269L
Construction: Carbon or AST
Fin Set-up: Single

Glide 14’0’’ Javelin + Glide 14’0’’ Javelin AST
The Glide 14’0” Javelin is designed for maximum speed in flatwater. It incorporates a low rocker displacement bow shape with soft-rounded rails to produce the most efficient ratio of paddle power to board glide.
Unlike the Glide 14’0”, which is primarily designed for open-ocean paddling where speed can be generated by gliding on swells, the Glide 14’0” Javelin is focused on flatwater speed.
The Javelin’s slender displacement hull shape, coupled with its soft rails, create an extremely efficient water line. At 26-1/8” wide, it is still stable enough for average paddlers, yet provides the sleek streamlined properties that make it a race winner for the advanced paddler.
The Javelin slices through chop and provides outstanding acceleration and speed with minimal effort. It is the perfect board for long distance flatwater cruising, fitness training and racing.
14’0” x 26 1/8” x 5 ¾”, 284L
Construction: Carbon or AST
Fin Set-up: Single

Glide 12’6’’ Catalina
With surf-style racing events like the “Battle of the Paddle” gaining popularity, we developed a flatwater stand-up paddle board to fit the 12’6’’ class. The board implements elements of the successful Glide 14’0’’ Javelin, targeting maximum glide at minimum effort. The lower rocker profile, round rails and recessed deck achieve the highest efficiency in smooth water. Its concave deck section with the water release feature, adds stability due to the lower center of gravity, and lets the incoming water flow out naturally through the integrated side pipes.
12’6” x 27 5/8” x 6 ¾”, 231L
Construction: Carbon
Fin Set-up: Single

Glide 12’0” AST
The Glide 12’0” utilizes design principles from the Glide 17’0” and 14’0”. The shorter length makes it easy to maneuver, creating a great cruising board. The flat rocker makes it glide without effort, and its added width provides amazing stability. It’s the perfect choice for flatwater adventures, cruising with friends, and recreational racing.
12’0” x 29 ¾” x 5 ½”, 231L
Construction: AST
Fin Set-up: Single

Happy now

Naish doesn't put boards on their web site that are not in the warehouse yet. At least that seems to be the trend in the US.

Regarding volume, maybe Naish is guessing on the volume because Iggy's a master shaper who might not use a computer to shape.

While younger shapers do everything by computer now.

I'm waiting for my new 9' hokua to arrive and my mate is waiting for a 9' mana.

The Mana's are held up in Aus customs (something to do with the bamboo in the deck), and the Hokua's are delayed in transit somewhere. They should both be here by the end of the month, so once I've had a chance to ride them both, I'll let you know what I think. Can't talk about the LSD as I have not tried.
