I am super stoked to be able to say that Sunova SUP`s are now available in the UK via me at standuppaddleboarder.co.uk

Been riding the Speed 8`5 , Style 9`6 and Soul 9`5 all of which are a totally different rides but all fun in a range of conditions.

I can only say the Speed 8`5 is pretty much the board you would want as a 1 stick solution, really fun to ride, fast as it says and is super smooth in the chop. I was so surprised at how easy take off was, a few strokes and your away even on waves that you would think you wouldn't catch, on a steeper take off when other boards feel like they wont engage the Speed just plants itself, rides out the chop like a magic blanket and snaps a nice turn.

Basically you have try this board as you will be genuinely surprised at how good is.

The Style has a proper long board feel about it, gets up on the plain quickly, locks in and fires down the line. Add weight to your back foot and the Style washes of speed surprisingly quickly, shuffle forward to accelerate and walk to the nose ... weh hey :o))

The Style is really nimble and loves to be ridden off the back foot as well, to be honest the Style could be a real all rounder for most as is a lot of fun to ride, forgiving and well if your looking for a proper Long board SUP then it really is worth trying one of these.

The Soul 9`5 is without a doubt the most balanced of the three at 31 3/4 wide but it really is a fun board to ride, nails pretty much everything, is agile, faster than the JP fusion pro and of course a lot kinder on the bank balance. A great board for advancing riders.

You are spot on with your appraisal of the Soul 9'5. I am an "Advancing rider" and find the Soul 9'5 has improved my surfing considerably. It's a joy from the moment I grab the pop up handle and head out to my favourite break. It's light, easy to accelerate to catch waves.
Confidence grows when on the wave as it's very forgiving on the take off and turns predictably. Stoke factor is high!
While waiting for the next wave it's stability is awesome which reduces fatigue.
It's just as good on flat water. Glides well and is stable for even inexperienced riders.
And it looks good too with its balsa construction and carbon rails on display.
It's great value compared to other top end boards. Think I'll have this board for a while..
