Description
THE REVOLUTION is some serious fun!
Remember why you first got into SUP surfing? That extra freedom and glide to have fun in waves that were rendered un-surfable on your surfboard. This is a throwback to those days but with a performance flare. The Revolution is the performance longboard SUP that you can throw on the roof of your car and have fun in any conditions, from ankle biters to well overhead, the Revolution is the all round performer.
Sunova Boards are based on 2 principles Board Construction and Board Design
Board Construction: Sunova has turned to using natural materials, like balsa and paulownia wood, which have enabled them to construct higher performing boards than could ever have previously been achieved with conventional materials.
Board Design: In addition, these natural materials have made it possible for the Sunova Team to implement new and radical designs into their boards. Like Bert’s own creation of “the Parabolic Rails”, which has revolutionized surfing technology and utilizes the forces of true surfing action occurring at the rails. Giving much more direct flex and spring by moving the mechanics to both rails and not relying on only the centre stringer.

SHAPER DETAILS / DESIGN INFO
OUTLINE
Traditional clean longboard outline, subtle flyer, rounded pin. The outline is relatively balanced with the widest point in the middle, it does carry some width to around 3ft from the tail before pulling in to a performance shortboard outline, so the board can be pumped for speed easily and can be surfed freely off the tail. If you have never owned one, you will basically freak out at how well this board can surf.
RAILS
Low profile, shortboard style. The really low rails do a few different jobs, fat rails are harder to bury, especially at speed, so the low rails make the board super sensitive and responsive in turns. Because our stringers are in our rail line, the board has a greater range of flex and spring back. The low rail is more submerged when walking and nose riding so the board is nice and stable to walk with water flowing over the rails holding them down. Lastly, the bottom edge through the tail is quite tucked under, this gives the board good hold into late drops and a smooth ride in general.
ROCKER
Full performance rocker. This amount of rocker fits nicely into tighter parts of the wave, yet it is still flat enough to carry without needing to be pumped, but it can be pumped for speed with ease if the wave requires. The curve is an even curve all the way out the tail, so it still carries speed even if you are standing right on the tail. The board has a nice squirt or acceleration if you stomp your back foot, as opposed to a tail flip which is like hitting the brakes.
BOTTOM
Flat bottom. The idea is to keep the board going fast, it already has plenty of features to keep the board loose and sensitive, no need for added contours as the overall design is not dependent on bottom contours for control. Additionally, the general Sunova construction with the flexible bottom adds another dimension that reduces the need for contours.
DECK
Standard deck roll. Not much going on here apart from thickness distribution. Having the nose and tail quite refined lowers swing weight and keeps the board feeling sensitive.
FINS
Thruster. For sure the best performance option, I personally like to run a slightly smaller tail fin, as this frees the tail up a little better in tight under the lip style turns and snaps in general.
