Surf City Team and Boardworks Team Rider, Haywood Newkirk's new bad boys
Haywood's custom XL M&M and 10'6 Ohana trainer showed up today and man do they look fast. Haywood's old, but he's about to show some of these young fools up on his new equipment!!!
About the Ohana:
From Boardworks:
Ohana developed the 12-6 and 14 TR (Touring/Race) to be an all around design for any level of paddler who may want to paddle for fitness training, pleasure or competitive racing. The cutting nose entry and stable rail and bottom contours make this shape perform extremely well in rough and windy conditions into the wind, down wind and mixed swells. In flat water conditions the TR series has a smooth entry and great tail release, being one of the most quiet designs that Ohana has produced.
The 10’6 TR is a smaller fun version of the 12’6 and 14′ TR’s. With the same design characteristics , it was built for juniors or smaller men and women that want the same speed and stability attributed to the 12’6 & 14′, without the additional length and volume. Fun, Fast and stable, the 10’6 TR completes the quiver for the whole family.
The Ohana TR series construction: 1 pound EPS foam, epoxy resins over 2 layers fiberglass top and bottom with another layer within the console area. Deck is gloss and polish with a sanded bottom finish. Shape includes a domed deck to repel water over the top surface and a flat console for foot placement. Console runs out the tail to remove any water which may wash onto the deck area. The boards come with a deck pad. Race fin is not included.MSRPs: 10’6 Ohana TR – $1690 12’6 Ohana TR – $1790 14′ Ohana TR – $1890

Lots of new boards in at Surf City!
Boardworks has delivered several displacement style hulls for us in the Stand Up Paddle Board department.
We now have the Raven, along with the V1 and the Switchblade from C4. The Raven is only $1200 and is one of the best touring boards on the planet. Stable, comfortable, fast and economical. Great for anyone wanting to explore, fish from, gain fitness or even compete in some of the local races on. While the C4 boards are also great for touring, they're even better for open ocean paddling and downwinders.
Word has it that the elusive M&M boards, as well as, the new Ohanas will be here soon to!
In the meantime, check out this cool trailer for That First Glide, about SUP.
