Thinking of upgrading to Naish Titan 130L, Appreciate any feedback, what are they like in chop, easy to ride as worried about the width etc. Currently got Naish Nitrix 145L. I weigh 90kg and use 7.2m and 8,5m sails. Thanks heaps

A lot faster.pretty good in chop.
Has a bit of drone footage .with my 8.5.but a great board for big sails .and feels like riding a short board.

hey gomanly, I had a couple of days on a proto titan in light winds at Kailua last winter.
It is wide and that's what you will probably have to get used to most.
Super easy and fun to sail though; I don't think I fell off it.
Chop was not an issue in those conditions, the nose rides a lot higher than my old formula board.
Later I switched to an older Grand Prix that was more slalom-like.

I like my 2017 Naish carbon Titan 130 it planes so early and I have taken mine over 30 knots with a 7.8 Naish NOA in not much wind.
Just a fun freeride easy to gybe, fast and quick to accelerate back up to speed. The best part is it works with small rigs and fins and still feels fantastic when the wind gets up and the water state is rough. it will run deep off the wind and keep stable deep off the wind which is nice as it RIPS upwind as well. FUN FUN FUN

I think this is a bit of a underrated board in Australia but it is very versatile light wind coastal fun board.

Cheers Russ

Thanks Russ sounds like a good board in both light and strong winds. Find the Nitrix hard to get planing in lighter winds this sounds lot better and faster. Was worried it wouldn't handle rough conditions as well. Looking at JP as well but hard to decide they all look good.

Hi gomanly
Naish titan is covering all conditions with one board when JP have a few categories of free ride boards so for my 2c worth the NAISH is a real do everything board.

Cheers Russ
