The new Naish windsurfing boards are out and look really nice.

I really don't like their website though, its trying to sell the boards direct, the individual board pages don't show the dimensions which I think are really important, same with the sails, this might be as they have just set up the new website but seems a bit shabby.
Both their wave boards are Quad fin too (only took about 10 years to catch up with the rest of the brands) no thruster fin boards which I always thought Naish were best at. I look forward to trying one and seeing what widths etc they are.

Provided it's not too short, the global 105 L looks like it could tick a lot of my boxes.

But how would you know...??????

Without trying it, no idea if it's good or meh.
But shape looks appealing. I like wide tails for the gutless waves. Plus fast rocker a must have for subpar (onshore and light ) conditions common here. And a V in the tail to aid the roll into a bottom turn. My life is subpar so I need all the help I can get to make it exciting.

Looks very conventional... almost boring .... so surely it will be good. That outline just works and has done for a long time.

As to dimensions i can tell you if u like?


220 to 230 long.

Specs are further down the page

Too short. :-(

I thought the 2013/2014 Quatro Cubes had the perfect length.

The measurements are on their website now, it was the first day of the website when I looked and apparently it wasn't loading on their page.

nice to see this

I love the graphics on the new range.

Yes, rubbed back black and white is such a novel development

Easy to fix

Oh yeah dont i know it
Love them

I'm more surprised that they have gone with all quads in the wave range, from being thrusters only (?) before...

Glad to see wide wave boards going away, I find they don't ride smooth enough for local chop. I wouldn't say no to a touch more length but this is fine.
Knowing Naish they are probably user friendly and durable (for Cobra).

Where can you buy a 2024 Hookipa Quad in Australia? Any stock? Pricing?
