i had a surf on the prototype a while a go and finally snagged a surf on the real thing.

already had 2 12'6 sessions, low tide slight onshore conditions. hadn't surfed a surf sup for a month and a half.
this board kicks arse. stability- no need to even think about it.

it's looks belie its surfing ability. the mid rail to tail transition is magical= smooth powerful fast projections off the bottom and top. i felt in a groove instantly. the 9'2 lenght is not a issue

quiet possible the best board i've been on. i rode as a quad -shapers s9's and mgx1's. wouldn't change a thing


the smart arse bridge will tee off here, but have a go one one yourself- well worth it

Big things from NSP/GlobalSurf coming with DC on board.

Thanks Mr Lacey, heaps of nice production boards getting around this season. Second hand prices have got to drop soon.. I'm giving away ones I don't use much to friends. Granted they're not high end name boards, but I'd rather they were getting used by someone. There's an awful lot of boards in the to sell section, plus I needed the room to put some new ones.. Any vids of people using the 9'2"?? Happy Easter!!

It seems that everyone that has ridden this board has been pretty stoked. The 'best yet' claim has come a few times which is kind of shocking but saying that i've seen a lot of misfires in terms of fin set ups and wide points etc killing otherwise good designs.

This board has a combination of shortboard rockers, bottom and rails. This combined with the super light weight, stability and looseness work well for a lot of people. We believe they're big surfboards you stand up on to paddle and have designed this board in that way.

But hey, don't let me pi$$ in your pocket about it. Take it for a surf.

Cheers.

Looks a lot like my 8'11" DMS ;)

Been surfing that board as a quad on a very nice 4ft left hander in between surfs on my 6'0" Bourton "little zappa" the last few days. Too much fun. Thanks mate

I am a convert. This is one sweeeet board!
I've had two good sessions on it and felt immediately at home.

At 8.5kg bare (and tough as coconut ) it is hard not to get attached to this well balanced board which you can roundhouse on a dime.

We have a demo if anyone in and around Sydney wants to try it.

Jarryd

Dims are 9'2 x 29 1/2 x 4 1/8. Volume is 127L

Yeah but is it as good as the new JPs??.....Only one way to find out.







Pimp off!!!

Volume is a bit low how would it be
For 98kg or so

I am 92kg and very comfortable on this board. At 98kg it would be good to take it for a paddle and see how your weight/height/ability all come together.
The board is only 4 1/4 thick which reduces its volume but also helps with stability as it sits lower in the water giving you a lower centre of gravity. I was surprised how stable it was for its volume. Up there with a 9'2 Wide Ripper and more stable than a 9'5 I also tried.

Lacey bring it down to snapper and lets see how good it is

Spencer - if you are thinking about a 10.2 the nsp is a very fat/wide and slow board for someone as experienced as yourself - you'd be waaaaay better off with a JP 10.2 Fusion, as its a very very competent surfing style sup for a bigger dude like you.

I was down there this afternoon and my eight year old was getting waves of you loggers. It would be like taking candy from a baby on that board I reckon

Spencer, its next on my list. Looking at the specs, shape and Dim's of the 9'8 and the 10'2 the 9'2 is a whole new board and direction for the brand. The weight of the Coco construction changes the feel of the board so keen to try the other two as it will liven their performance for sure.

these are the go. had a very 'unreliable' source say they added another dimension to what he was using
