An 11'2'' x 32'' Naish Quest.. and it's my new faverite board..

If I had to choose one board only this would be it.. and it's the cheapest board in my quiver..

It's my new daily paddling board.. and I can't imagin going without it now..

Your still the man DJ

Agh DJ,I'm surprised you put your lovely new toy in that smelly creek!

Ya reckon it would surf?????

Ahhhhhh DJ, i am thinking that it may be time to give up your day job and start making movies full time.

Getting very professional and innovative with the camera for sure.

ET.

Ha.. thanks.. If I could just control my old-person shakes when I'm holding the camera..

Great video as usual DJ one of the crew up here has just gotten one, has an interesting bottom design hey!.... He just uses it to cruise around but wants me to take it in the surf to see how it goes, just waiting for the gale force onshore winds to buggar off!!

A sweet looking board. A glowing recommendation too!

And then said...



How does it go for the bigger bloke?

At 220 ltrs it's perfect for big blokes.. Naish say up to 115 kgs but I'm guessing it'll take much more..

Also perfect for loading up with gear for touring.. or paddling with kids on board..

Looks like someone got a gopro for Chrissy . good footage,looks good

So... you like it?

I like videos that reflect passion for a board or equipment... it's good stuff to be excited and share it!

Great video, I think you have me sold on the 11'2.
I'd best start ringing around the shops to see who has one, can you recommend a paddle that would be the best for this board ?
Cheers

Unfortunately have to wait till the end of the month for new stock of the 11,2 . They reckon a naish carbon vario paddle.
Do you think these would be a good platform for windsuping as well?

Well, partly due to this thread, partly due to Nozza's (and others) great pics in the "where did you paddle today" thread, and partly cos I wanted a cruiser that I could also catch little waves on, I grabbed a lovely used Naish Odysseus 11'2 today. Thanks fellas. Looks like a great way to paddle away from the holiday crowds.

Just a question/s for the brains trust... the board comes with the inset deck fittings that allow you to tie down stuff on the front of the deck. I assume there's some kind of hard-wearing elasticised cord/string that most people opt for -- any suggestions for what brand and where to get it? (Perhaps its just another Bunnings trip?...) Thanks...

The 11'2" should windsurf very well.. It's a very similar shape to the 10'10" Nalu and it windsurfs great.. The four channels really do seem to help.. Here's a vid that I did a while ago.. I'll try a do one again soon windsurfing my 11'2" Quest.

I was thinking the 12 foot quest but might consider the 11 foot one now.
Dad has the 10 foot odysseus and it paddles great.

Great vids DJ!!

How much is an initial windsurfing set up on the SUP as I would like to get back into it as the Nor Easter blows very regular here in the afternoon. Would my starboard avanti also take a universal windsurfing attatchment.

What kind of $'s are you talking for the 11'2" Quest DJ ?

Was the 11 foot Nalu the board you sailed in a vid a while ago?

I'd be keen on a SUP that windsurfs well, look forward to you taking it for a sail.

Cheers, great post
