In addition to their expanded board range, they offer a variety of construction options to choose from – including their brand-new carbon construction. Along with the Global, GoTo and Skater, Naish is also introducing the Gecko and Strapless Wonder – two all-new shapes dedicated to strapless riding. Designed and built to perform no matter what the conditions, Naish surfboards are made to give you absolute confidence on the water.

Global Carbon

The Global is made to be ridden fast and hard—designed to match the speed and power of the world’s best waves. Whether it’s perfect reef breaks or mushy onshore waves, the S25 Global will have riders ripping like a pro, session after session. The Carbon construction features a lightweight EPS core, a full deck carbon vector net, and a biax carbon stringer on the bottom for a lightweight and a more responsive feel. S25 features a squash tail for a clean, fast release and pronounced rocker in the tail. This allows the Global to draw out long, smooth turns beautifully and is snappy and responsive when ridden vertically in the pocket.

Skater

Responsive and snappy, this year’s Skater model has been fine-tuned with a shorter outline to deliver improved control and balance, assisting riders in aerial tricks and critical wave sections with ease and confidence. If you are a strapless freestyle extraordinaire or searching for an option that is easy to transport and provides incredible performance in an astonishing variety of conditions, the Skater is your board. Featuring a compact and modern shape, the Skater takes directional strapped or strapless riding to new levels of fun anywhere, in any condition. The compact outline provides amazing control in the air, making the board stick to your feet more than any conventional directional board could ever match.

Go-To

It didn’t get the name Go-To for just any reason. Designed to perform no matter what conditions are presented, the Go-To has quickly become a favourite board for strapless riders, thanks to its easy-to-please shape. With its large sweet spot, the Go-To makes an excellent board for riders seeking an easy platform to progress their strapless riding—from basic transitions to complex strapless tricks. It also features footstrap inserts and can be ridden with straps if desired. With a rounded-off nose for a bit of extra width up front and a straighter rocker than the Global, the Go-To is quick to plane and provides the unrivalled upwind ability, making it the perfect board when riding underpowered or in gusty winds.

Gecko Carbon

The Gecko is a brand new shape that is dedicated to strapless only riding. When designing the Gecko, we set off to create a strapless only board made for kiters who prefer a directional over a twin tip but primarily ride flat water or choppy spots like Tarifa or Hood River. The shape features a wide squash tail, parallel outline and semi blunt nose to create great lift and control for strapless airs. The straight rails and quad fin setup provides great pop and directional stability along with making it tracky and fast. The vee bottom shaping through the nose compliment the rails and fin setup for smooth riding in choppy conditions. A full rocker through the nose and tail make the Gecko a great choice for kiters who don’t use straps in any condition from flat water to small surf. The Carbon construction features a lightweight EPS core, a full deck carbon vector net, and a biax carbon stringer on the bottom for lightweight and a responsive feel. If you are a dedicated strapless rider, but might not have access to surf, the Gecko is made for you.

Strapless Wonder

New for S25, the Strapless Wonder is a conventional shape for dedicated strapless kiters. Taking elements from the Go-To, like the rocker profile, we’ve removed the strap inserts flattened the deck for comfort, gave it fuller rails and a single concave on the bottom. It is best suited for riders looking for extra forgiveness and performance at lower speeds thanks to its fuller rails and rounded pintail. The single concave bottom is complemented by the thruster fin set up making it snappy and playful. Offered in a 5’3″ and 5’6″, the Strapless Wonder packs more volume per length than any other board in the Naish lineup. Featuring a double bamboo sandwich deck with our lightweight durafinish to keep the board light and strong, giving the rider absolute confidence in even the heaviest situations. Ample volume makes this board a blast and forgiving for everyone and heavier riders who prefer a shorter board will love it.
