Sorry to bore you with a last years board ,2016 naish GTW .11.6 210 litre .
but little info is available on this little cruiser .it paddles quite fast for a 210 litre board .
and very easy to get it going .its very stable at 29-5 wide and a great board for playing around in little waves .
I took it out in very smooth conditions first and it cuts the water beautiful ,then the wind came up and it
became swelly ,and waves appeared .
it was very stable ,even when the waves where side on ,it rolled but then kind off just stopped at a point .
i love the recessed deck so nice to grip the heels in ,the water runs out the back ,fast .
Headed out further into ,1 -1-5 foot waves ,it punches through nicely .even when white wash .
it is easy to turn around and hook onto the waves .you don't have to stand right at the back like the 14'
At 95 kg I could stand at the back and pull the nose around if I needed to do a sharp turn ,not exactly as sharper turner as a Nalu .but still a great play around little cruiser that's easy to surf with speed .
who would buy this board .? .someone who wants a light board to carry .wants speed without going to big
And only likes little waves .it has a beautiful finish ,so has sex appeal.
Also a person who needs one for the misses .and she can keep up with you on a 14 ,with the weight and floatation ratio.
a great add to my quiver .
shes a nice one Mr Sandan.
Thanks Tardy that's a great looking board even if it is last years model. I had no idea they were made in that size I thought it was only 12.6 and 14 ft but that looks like a great boa d for my other half who is pretty light.
No problem Dave ,the shape is the same this year .they have 11.6, 12.&12,6 .not many in OZ.it was new to the glides range last year ,has a GS too.
has a 12 quest too,,but she's heavy
.. .i was in the right place at the right time to grab it .the wood won me over.
i just wanted a light board .and around 200 litres .for fun.but wanted speed too.
i had it out today ,and took it out the back in 25 knots .i got it planning ,if I was a bit lighter
this would be quite good for a DWer.for someone too.lighter than me at 95 kgs that is .
i have my 14's ,so I'm covered.
It s very manoeuvrable ,the weight is a real bonus for me .11.5 kgs.
its my baby 14.
