Well here we go again ,sold one of my boards .so one in one out ,
I have been eyeing up the Kanga for a while ,I love the rounded pin tail ,and the dims ,depending on which sight you go on
but 130.9 x 30 7/8 wide ,8'9 ,nose is wider than my 8'8 flow and 4 and a bit more litres .so thinner and longer more beef
so recon it will a better board in bigger waves ,also more litres for my 100 kgs .flatter rocker it seems ,anyway up dated pictures from Shaw as we go along ,TR3 for me .for those who don't know pine not Balsa ,making a lighter board
here's kinda what I have in mind ,
Draw up by the Sunova factory .
could you imagine this in full gloss
i do love a rounded pin tail..... cant wait to hear your thoughts. PS Im loving my 8'8 SPX. the flow doesnt get wet too often now...
I've had my kanga now for a couple of years, I love it, turns easily, especially of the tail, it's fast and easy to paddle. I tried a number of set ups with the fins quobbas, cdrives, I eventually settled with surfing it as a quad with the cdrives. I'm 95-100kg and I went the 9'0, my first thought was I should have gone smaller as it is so stable to paddle given its width, I still really haven't changed my thoughts on that, but I'm happy with what I've got. I still surf my speeed regularly and have recently purchased a Casey revolution 10', for something different. There all great boards and I can't see myself getting rid of them anytime soon. Be interesting to see what you think of the kanga.
Always good to see your next board Dude, and this one looks to be perfect for you!
Keep us up on the progress and get us some slashing Tardy vids!!

Thanks Iam ,on your suggestions on the kanga ,and glad your liking it ,I ride on the tail so I think it will suit me perfectly ,
it should arrive late Feb ,so I will give up dates on performance for sure guys ,but I'm really looking forward to riding this one ,
It is just a piece of foam right now but it will transform into something beautiful ,stay tuned as I will get up dated photos from the factory happy new year everyone for 2025 ,
The Kanga has been started ,I'm loving the lines its been bagged and off to be sanded tomorrow ,
