Description
The SPX is your premier board for real-world conditions.
Boasting a shorter, more curvy outline, the board can fit into tighter pockets easier allowing critical surfing closer to the critical parts of the wave with easier exits. Mix that with the pinched rails in the top ¾ of the board and boxier rails in the tail and you have an exciting combination of beautiful rail turns with radical tail releases.
This is Sean Poynter’s go-to board for all conditions under 8ft.
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.
Product Details
SHAPE DETAILS / DESIGN INFO
OUTLINE
Generous outline curve into a bump squash. The generous outline curve offers great maneuverability both forehand and backhand enabling the board to be surfed radically. The bump squash or rounded square offers great squirt and drive off the bottom. The package together makes for a very high performance board.
RAILS
Pinched in the middle, low in the tail. The pinched rail allows more volume to be packed into a more compact package and allows the deck line to be relatively flat in the standing area, adding comfort. Throughout, the rail line is low enough to offer great hold and penetration of the face so you can feel super confident in any conditions.
ROCKER
Accentuated nose flip, with a clean performance rocker. The accentuated nose flip gives the board great chances to recover when coming back down off the lip whilst the clean performance rocker enables the board to be surfed radically in the power source of the wave. This overall rocker package makes for an extremely maneuverable board.
BOTTOM
Flat upfront blending into a single concave through the middle, to a double concave into the back foot and subtle V on the exit. The concave upfront helps initiate a turn earlier, keeps the board responsive, as your rail will engage the second your mind decides to. We have purposely kept the concave out of the nose, this is to reduce over sensitivity and keep the front rail higher out of the water. At speed, if your front rail engages when you don’t want it to, it can throw you off or into a spin. The double concave then creates a spine where the stringer would be but also allows the transition into the subtle V to be smoother. This subtle V kicks in when you are right on the back foot, when somewhere critical it offers that bit more hold and control helping to bed the tail in.
DECK
Relatively flat in the standing area through to roll in the tail. Being flat in the standing area adds a level of comfort and stability to the board, whilst keeping the roll towards the tail means the rails can stay nice and low giving you great penetration.
FINS
5 Fins. For top to bottom surfing, the thruster will be the better option. As the waves get a little steeper and faster, switch out to the quad to hold a higher, more direct line, or if the waves are flatter and more open with little chance of top to bottom surfing, the quad is also an option.
