What Naish has to say about the Hover Wing GS
Our last generation Hover Wing Foil instantly set the standard in design, construction, and weight for the category. This new range of boards is perfectly suited for wing surfing, or to be used as a SUP foil board, SUP downwind foil board or prone foil surf. Changes to this updated model include a more overall rail curve in the outline, slightly narrower tails, increased nose rocker, and more pronounced bottom shaping and concave. Multiple foot strap insert positions, including wider stance options, give riders the opportunity to choose between a windsurfing style, double front strap setup, or a single surf style setup. The rocker is perfectly balanced so the board flies smoothly parallel to the water surface. Track boxes have been moved further back to better match with the multitude of different foils that riders may pair with the boards. The increased tail kick behind foil boxes combined with the beveled rail guarantees easy take odds and sufficient clearance in turns.
Utilizing an S-Glass/wood sandwich construction with carbon and kevlar reinforcements, the GS is available in 110L and 125L the hover wing/foil gs offers the same shape and overall performance as its carbon ultra siblings, yet more durable and affordable construction.

Naish Hoverboard 27
Shifted to this board from a similar volume (115) inflatable board. As with all Naish equipment - fit and finish are top of the line. Upon unpacking I thought that it was slightly longer than needed but after the first session I realized the length is essential for the stability - board is very stable even for my 200lbs. Two slight negatives: I would prefer the front straps to be more angled aft but the screw holes do not allow but I have gotten used to the placement. Also, on my previous board foil was mounted just aft of middle in the slots, this board I am almost all the way aft with little room to slide back. That said, board flies very early, responsive even for its bigger size and appears to be very rugged construction. As always, MACkiteboarding was super helpful choosing the board and rapid shipping. This board will last me a good long time as I progress.
