Naish paddle boards came to the SUP Inflatables shelves in 2014, and then disappeared again in 2016 apart from the Naish One Design race board, the reason for their disappearance was due to the fact that we felt they hadn't kept up with inflatable technology and the prices were too high for the construction they were using...
Fast forward to the 2019 range (part 1) and the board construction / verses price point wasn't much better, The boards looked great with the bright colours and even a double chamber version, but prices were high and the boards were still 6 inches thick... a few boards were made and then BANG ....
Damien Girardin joined Naish Paddleboards as Naish's Design Engineer, he took one look at the 2019 colourful range and went STOP... production was holted as he worked on the 2020 range, which is more like a 2019 (part 2) as it arrived in March 2019...
When Damien was launching the new range back in October 2018 as pre-production samples, we were asked to meet him at Paddle Expo in Germany to look at the boards before production (due to the fact we had been pretty vocal about how they needed to update the range). As we rounded the corner too the Naish stand, WOW was all we could say too these board! Naish was back, new construction, new colour, new features, new bags, new pump, just about new everything...
We could go on and on, but were are keen to finish the day and get out on the water so I will put you in the capable hands of Damien to explain all the new Naish Board features
