My 6'1 Sunova surfboard Pro model has arrived
Sunova took longer than planned to deliver my board but it's finally here. Its been about a month now if Im not wrong. My first impression was that the board was too thin, rails are really low and it seemed to have not as much volume as I wanted. The board is extremelly well built, a bit different from Firewire and the balsa bottom looks great!
I was really surprised to see that it actually paddles really well and I have no problems getting into waves. I go down to Margaret River every weekend I can as waves here in Perth suck big time. The surf down South is quite heavy, its called by some the Ozzie Hawaii, which means plenty of size and power.
I tested it at some heavy, nasty beach and reef breaks down South, everything between 2' to solid 5' (hawaiian metric system). Board holds really well in hollow waves up to 5 foot. Loose but lots of drive and speed. I'm still getting used to it but I can definitely say that I really like the board.

I will keep you informed!
