I was talking to a guy at the beach today about the Naish 11'6" and the Kalama and after a test paddle of both went up to the shop and bought the Kalama.

The one thing about the Kalama that he liked was the full length grip.

The section in the middle (black in color) is just a different pattern..The front and back sections are still deck grip..just a bit smoother and light grey in color.

I have to agree the Kalama is a great all round board..It's very stable and has lot's of glide.

I took this pic today while I was out cruising on the Kalama...Glassy or what..



also....

Check out this guys vid of him and his son having fun in the waves on the Kalama.. ..Looks like fun.
