Naish Hokua GTW 9'0 SUP Board 2018
IN A NUTSHELL...
The 2018 Naish 9'0 Hokua stand up paddle board is ideal for intermediate-to-advanced waveriders, allows riders to make the most of every wave. Naish's collaboration with Gerry Lopez focuses on predictable, easy-to-ride designs that deliver super-smooth carving. The rocker design creates a large sweetspot, which results in effortless take-off, quick acceleration and responsive down-the-line surfing.
