From $830

Wonder if they can match that

Nope....from all the questions I have asked different Shapers on the goldy,this is the one answer I keep getting. Carbon is great from impact resistance,BUT will snap just as easily if not more so than your standard pu.
I did see one at Surf fx and was not impressed by its shape either.....and for the next person to tell me to watch a you tube clip to see how it goes......well I say give me a clip off you or a average punter surfing it

im sure they go great in mushy small waves with no power but full carbon lay ups don't work so well when loaded up in power full surf. they need a composite formula for that.now I just need to find an elephant willing to walk on one of my epoxies

If your factory was in Thailand I'm sure you could find a few ...

TAA, I'd be willing to lay down a hundred bucks for a learning board for the kids. I reckon that's fair for those two shapes.

Crazy pricing - 1800 bucks just about gets you a whole quiver from your local shaper...

Starboard should stick to what they're good at, SUPs.

Just put this post up to show some new boards out there
Want be everyone taste,because there different.
It would be hard to comment on them if you haven't seen or had one in the water

I know I like them,as a average surfer

Head down to Scabs/Cott/Trigg on any weekend and there'll be heeeeeeeeaps around. Whales to boot.

Good luck finding an answer to their question of "Why?" when you ask them though.

That would be awesome Dave, you could ask the guys up in Ubud to get one of their Sumatran elephants to walk over one of your boards for a video shoot

no elephants where I surf, so I won't be buying one....

The decks aren't denting unlike your standard layup thats been going on since day dot. These boards are stronger lighter and last loads long than your standard stick.
The carbon cloth layup effects how the board responds, If your glasser cant get his head around the process then it must be bad!!
BTW - Guess thats why they are making passenger plane wings out of carbon for all those impacts none of that flexing the wing does.

I suppose thats why the demo days getting held

Here's a tip for you TAA - when you're positioning tail pads, don't worry about lining them up with the graphics, worry about positioning them relative to the fin cluster (generally as far back as possible works for me). That red one is too far forward, but at least both of them line up with the white stripe lines, right?

Does the 18000$ price include the paddle?

Re-read what. I said genius...what a uneducated knob you are. Did my post say that they are good for impact resistance at all?
Would love to see the conversation you have with the Shapers :f you spoke to them hahaha . So stop being a fanboy and prove some facts aye. Once again I have seen one and the shape was basic generic at best....

Well we will see after the demo days how many peeps are raving about these $1800 boards...time will tell. I look forward to the forthcoming.reviews

^Its an impressive vid to be sure.

But my next board will be a Katana Skud with an electronic shark shield thing built in. Not so worried about how long my board lasts, but how long I last...

Legion wasn't in the video. But Legion has a couple of Sunovas for sale, need the cash. No-one wants them because they're not CI/JS/DHD/whatever.

TAA, don't expect us to rave about the boards. They are pig shapes. They come from a SUP or windsurfing or some other sport background. They're ugly. The fin pad thing was a genuine tip. If your foot is too far forward (e.g. in front of the front fins) you will find it harder to turn.

Also, if you want to spruik your wares, it pays to have a thick skin and always be polite. Losing the plot and attacking people, no matter how much you are attacked beforehand, is a sure fire way to lose potential customers.

This Sunday the 1st of December

You're not listening TAA. We're not interested in your boards. The shapes are anything but performance. Why would anyone pay $1800 for a soft rounded pig shape? I doubt many people from a pure surfing background are going to be interested in a SUP company trying to make forays into surfing. And you put the pads on wrong.
