Wow, thanks very much Hoppo, quite thorough.

Naish has overall higher performance at the expense of glide and stability.

Naish, less glide, looser, tighter in the pocket, less stable, slightly faster on the wave, lighter weight, smaller, etc.

Modifications to the 10/4 to match them:

Slightly wider tail for a speed bump, not a big effect
More nose rocker and pulled in nose
Roll the deck a bit to have thinner rails forward
Slightly less volume overall, and a bit shorter if desired, saves some volume
Carbon, if weight an issue, though I have busted one carbon board.
Closed cell core? in 2017
Board bag

Sunova: not paying for Naish name, its own structural advantages, lighter than most, mast track, custom features if desired and does not have a history of breaking in two.

Hey guys, after some feedback on the RSPro Hexa Traction.
How is it under foot?
Grippy?
Is it lasting the distance?
Considering it for my next project, but it's not cheap, so any hints, tips, pros and cons from anyone that has used it would be appreciated.

I tried it a lot and I think it's a great solution to put in the nose area for example, but it doesn't give enought grip to do a propper turn on it. Wax and traction pads are still far superior.

Nice board! But I can't understand those FCS twin plugs on that board instead of using Fusion plugs, for example...
