I love it and very appropriate for the Ghost. It's a similar look to my Revolution.
Enjoy.

Thank you. The Revolution was the inspiration for the colour.

That white ghost colour looks great , really suits the name 
Agree. That was the reasoning behind it.
Another pic for those interested. Shows the weight at 8.41kg. Quite respectable for a 137lt board.

Salt to my pepper....

Thanks Rick.
looking forward to riding it! that's a shame.. I always enjoy your videos.
Ghost's take a 3 hour tour, to Gilligan's Island!
I took my daughter, Jenny (my ex, although I dislike that term) and Jenny's son on a paddle trip
9'1 & 9'6 Ghost plus the 9'9 Creek since I was paddling a squirmy 6 year old out to the island.
These boards do a great job as flat-water boards when I don't have my big boards with me.

That's interesting Rick,
I enjoy a flat water paddle as much as a surf these days. I was wondering how the Ghost would go. It's part of the reason I went for an 8.10 this time around. Great photos.
Has anyone else ridden the Ghost yet, and what are your thoughts ?
Hi have my 8'10'' GHOST in water , just for the one surf so far as surfs been flat .Thanks to Sunova and Dean in Auckland , fantastic timing with delivery of my Ghost . The one surf ive had on it, it is fast stable and very easy to paddle , up untill now my go to board has been the 10 'x 29 Style which i love riding but this GHOST is so stable , fast , light .As Rick has said , its nothing like the Creek which i enjoyed riding but have now sold it .Will post when i get some decent waves and let ya all know how i reckon it goes . Only one surf on it , pretty stoked . Also for those that are surfing with health issues , that water time is a healer !!!As i approach , 72 , 3 months into stroke recovery , and on my new GHOST life is pretty good . Mate Steve is already thinking of getting a Ghost , he rides a 9'3'' or 8'8'' speed , and i only allowed and him 1 wave and took my ghost back ! [i couldnt ride the speed ] And just another thought re The Ghost , it has a very surfboard like ness to it , with the deck , rails and bottom , great sup !!!

Have you got your Ghost yet. I've been looking at one for a while and am interested to hear reports from AU paddlers
The grey hue of the pre-dawn was just beginning to seep through the horizon as I made my way to the water's edge of my childhood local break, the Sunova Ghost gripped under my arm, its unfamiliar contours brimming with untapped potential. Today was ANZAC day, a day steeped in reflection, honouring the bravery of those like both my grandfathers who had shared with me tales of fellowship and the distant rumblings of wartime endeavours.
Reaching the shorebreak, I noticed the lineup was surprisingly crowded, a silent testament to the collective reverence the day invoked. The swell, only about two-foot in size, but made perfect by the light offshore wind that lacquered the surface into a sea of polished glass.
I dug deep, initiating the paddle out, feeling the prickling of excitement for the Ghost's maiden voyage. I noticed an unexpected yawl as I paddled, the Ghost's curved rails gently nudging me to alter my paddling technique.
The real dance began the moment I caught my first wave. The Ghost propelled ahead as if having a life of its own. The speed was intoxicating, every turn, a sweeping gesture of sheer fluidity, outmanoeuvring my trusted Sunova Speeed to which I was accustomed. Despite their identical size, the Ghost seemed to carve through the ocean's fabric with more precision and verve, matching the impactful resonance of the day.
The hour of surfing seemed to evaporate just as the stories of old had - a distillation of adrenaline and fervour. With each wave, the Sunova Ghost reaffirmed its design and craftsmanship, its stability and agility a testament to Sunova's relentless quest for perfection.
I returned to shore as the sun finally broke through, scattering a mosaic of golden reflections across the ocean, the scene mirrored medals pinned against a veteran's coat. The board had proven itself an exemplary comrade in the crowded swell, a noble steed for days when the past and present merged on the waves of remembrance.
Lest we forget.

WoW! Ghost poetry.... I like it, thanks Casso! 
A seafaring literary appears with the SUN ova the horizon.
Super stoked you like the Ghost, very happy to hear your feedback!
Happy ANZAC day!
Now the Ghosts have been out there a few months how are they settling into the quiver. Not seen any on the water in Perth thus far. Particularly interested in the 8/5

I can't help there unfortunately, still haven't got out on mine. Been tied up with other things. Hopefully soon.

Phil:
New member here. I have been a member of the "Zone" for some time and guest viewing on this forum for some time as well. I decided to sign up so that I could reply to your question about the Ghost, as I just took ownership of a 9' 3" a week or two ago. The first thought that came to me when a friend asked what I thought after my first good wave session, was "this is a game changer" (for me).
First some about my background. I am 73 years old and 100kg. I started surfing when I was about 8 years old, but wouldn't say I am an "advanced" surfer. More like advanced intermediate. I have surfed reasonably big waves and am known more for taking chances, rather than ripping, or finesse. Due to hip replacement, and stiffing with advancing age, I shifted to Standup surfing about 14 years ago. Started with a 10' Naish mana, on to 9'6" Angulo, then 8'10" Corevac Cannibal, then to Sunova Creek, and then to 9'6" Genrations Kanga. In full disclosure, I often surf with SuptheCreek.....although certainly not as well.
I tried his 9'1" Ghost and really liked the responsiveness, but was hoping I could keep most of the responsiveness, and gain a little bit more stability (1" wider) with a 9'3" Ghost. Mission accomplished, as it is about as stable as my Kanga, but much more responsive. I had almost resigned myself to "old man gliding" with the Kanga, throwing an occasional cutback. But it seems a little too big (esp. wide) for carving. On my first session in good waves with this Ghost, I found myself hitting the lip and reentering, almost without thinking about it. I have only had it out about four times, but I now find myself thinking about intentionally attempting more technical maneuvers, where before I was lucky to pull off an occasional (almost) unintentional floater on the Kanga. It is also noticeably faster than the Kanga. I don't mean to demean the Kanga, as I have gotten two good years of riding out of it, but I suspect it will be a very rare day that I decide to take it out, over the Ghost.
I recognize that we all surf somewhat differently (e.g. I will never be as fluid as Creek), but for me the Ghost is faster, much more responsive, and just about as stable as my Kanga. The only advantage the Kanga has is that, with its width and length, it gets into waves sooner. The only board that I have owned that was more response was the (VERY) tippy 8'10" Cannibal I had for a short time. But this Ghost is by far the best combination of stability and responsiveness that I have owned. Hope that helps.

Hi Phil. I am 73 kg intermediate 70 yr "Speeed freak" and have had an 8'5" Ghost for a week. I've been out in small (waist to shoulder high) shore break five times. Every day it gets better. Had a couple of compliments from local surfers. Stable, paddles fast, very little yaw, turns on a dime, picks up waves as well as the 8'10" Speeed and perhaps as quick on a wave? Beautiful board. It is a game changer. I thought the Speeed could never be replaced. Much easier to surf than the Speeed. The Ghost may be my quiver killer. Looking forward to getting out in some bigger surf and try it as a quad.
Cheers
Bob
New guy here. Looking for a bit of Sunova advice (plz). I'm 67, 190lbs & 6'. Have a fairly solid surf background, but my back doesn't like to pop upon a short board like it used too. Sooo, the Sunova Ghost is looking pretty darned interesting. Or maybe The One .
Posted up here in Central California (Santa Cruz -Monterey Bay). I like to explore, paddle between spots, catch a few smallish (up to head high, non hollow) corners, and paddle my way back. My older Starboard Widepoint 10'5"x32 (175L) has been fun, but boards have really improved and it's time for new fun. I was a bit frustrated with my Naish Hokua 9'1"x 32 (150L) - it surfed ok but couldn't go cruise the flats worth a damn. And my Widepoint felt smoother in the surf! I know it's not the volume, but the shape, since my wife's non-surf shaped SUP 9'11"x32 (154L) cruises me just fine.
Thinking the Ghost 9'3" or 9'6" might be just the ticket. Or maybe The One 9'5"? Thoughts?
Aside - lurking this site, seems like Creek has been through some big life changes lately, bravely. Congrats sir! Yr a role model for us young(er)sters.

Hi murkcarto
Thanks for the positive vibes!
Contact me directly at
supthecreek@gmail.com
We can get very specific on your needs and maybe a phone conversation to nail down the right board for both surf and flat-water.
My quick answer is the Ghost paddles very well in the larger sizes, but has a bit more yaw under 9'
It sis an amzing surf SUP!
The One paddles flats better than the Ghost and surfs really well for a flatish rocker, more all around shape.
Slower cutbacks, but a very fast board on long fast waves.
A good board to fit both flat and surf.... but not even close to the Ghost for surfability
I can also point you to a dealer who will treat you right!
Peace
Rick
Two videos to compare surfability of 9'5 ONE

Get both! I have the 9'1" Ghost and a 10' One (it has the full nose like the Revolution); latter is for the smaller summer days here in San Diego. I love both and have the perfect 2 board quiver for me.
I am so in LOVE with my Ghosts... they just keep getting better and better.
They make getting old FUN!!
New video coming soon!
Fun right on my 8'5
playing with a left on my 8'8
