Can anyone help.
Ive been using a 2009 Naish Custom 5'2" the green and wood one.
I surf it strapless, its quick, responsive and carves like a mother.
Its a great board and haven't been able to get close to it.
I also use an Angry Swallow - a great board also but a lot slower than the Naish.
The question is:
What board comes close to that 2009 Naish?
Does anyone have one for sale????

Thanks a lot for you time, Jon.

Take your Naish into your local shaper and see if you can get a similar board made. I feel the same way about my old North Rocketfish, that was my favorite board. I will probably be getting John Amundson to build me a modern one when my current board wears out.

Out of interest - do you know what the shaper needs to do to the deck/board to make it kite worthy?

thanks

Not so much to do with the shaper, but when the board is glassed up - layers of glass, type of glass, reinforcement with carbon etc, stringers in the blank, etc,,,,
