2010 NAISH Nalu 10' 6" Sandwich Stand Up Paddleboard with deck pad and removable thruster fins.  Sandwich construction is $1,395. Wood version is $1,799.

We have used the Naish 10'6" Stand Up Paddleboard extensively for paddling and windsurfing in small to medium waves. It is unreal. You really have to try it with a windsurfing rig. This is our board of choice to use in Barbados waves this winter.

The 2010 Naish 10'6" Stand Up Paddle Board features a classic longboard shape and makes even the smallest waves fun to ride. Thicker and wider than many other boards, it supports a wider range of rider weights and makes it a great board for learning stand up paddling and windsurfing.

Classic longboard shapes and rocker lines make even the smallest waves fun to ride. Thick and wide, it enables a wider range of rider weights and a quicker learning success for both stand up paddling and windsurfing. Flat deck design for stability and easy balance. Soft tucked under rail shape for easy turning at low speeds. Optional deck pad that can be applied with stick-on adhesive if desired. Cover up plug for the mast track.

 

Summary: Great looking board, rated highly for surfing by all riders, highly for cruising and paddling by lightweight riders, good for cruising and paddling by heavyweight riders. Full test report: http://www.kenalu.com/forums/showcase-index/naish-stand-up-106/ 

 

With its standard mast track, you are free to put away your paddle and pop on a windsurf sail when the wind starts blowing. The Naish Stand Up features a flat and stable deck design that makes it easy to keep your balance, and its soft tucked-under rails make turning easy at low speeds.

Stand-up surfing or Beach Boy style surfing is taking the world by storm from Hawaii to Japan to small lakes in Bavaria . This is an exciting new product and Naish is proud to introduce a new classic that will make even a windless or flat day exciting�

As a core brand connected to windsurfing as well as surfing we started experimenting with boards and paddles about 4 years ago monitoring where the sport is heading and decided to launch a board and paddle program that suits the roots of this newly recovered ancient form of surfing. With master longboard shaper Harold Iggy it was only a question of time to find the right balance between longboard performance and the right easy access even for first timers.

The boards can be ridden :
- As stand up surf boards where the rider paddles into waves already standing up. You see the waves easier as you are higher up, you are faster to get to the right position in the lineup and last but not least it is easier to get to uncrowded spots. As a general rule it helps to stay away from crowded surfing lineups or at least show the proper respect and share waves.

- You can distance paddle using classic canoe paddling technique. In some locations like Maui we race downwind trying to catch the open ocean swells and surf them by connecting as many glides as possible. At the same time we try to catch breaking waves at the different outside reefs along the shoreline.

- And off course the board can be used as a light air windsurfing board in flatwater as well as waves.
Naish stand up boards current range introduces the following boards:

- Stand up Surf 10�6"; this board offers enough volume to suit any light or athletic first timer to the sport. The width combined with enough thickness allow for plenty stability to focus on the paddling. The design also makes it easy to turn the board around which helps a lot when you need to get into the right position to paddle for waves. It features a mast track as well as a carry handle. The board is laminated in a full wood venier construction, which makes it extremely tough against impact, and pressure dings. It shows a full wood venier reveal in the deck area and uses wax like a classic surfboard.

The Naish paddle is a classic Hawaiian blade design with a carbon/ glass blade and a specially treated T8 aloy shaft. The advantage to most carbon paddles is clearly the price as well as the fact that the paddle is tougher in terms of daily use and impact damages.
