Naish SUP
From our Founder and President, Robby Naish, to every single one of our Hawaii based employees, boardriding is what we are all about. We are not part of some giant corporation and are not new to the world of board sports. We have been designing, manufacturing and selling premium windsurfing, kiteboarding, and stand up paddle equipment since the inception of each sport -- windsurfing since 1979, kiteboarding since 1999, stand up paddling since 2007. Even though Naish has decades of experience in composite construction and board design, we are constantly pushing the envelope with new materials, shapes and production techniques to advance our products. Our stand up paddle board range is one of the largest and the most focused on the market. Between the clearly categorized Glide, Nalu, Mana, Alana and Hokua series, choosing the right board has never been easier. From the World-Championship winning Hokua Series to the speedy Glides, our designs are rigorously tested by some of the top athletes in the sport of SUP. Whether you are flat water paddling, touring, racing or wave riding, Naish has boards and paddles for anyone, of any ability, from novice to professional. Unique as well, is the fact that all Naish team riders use the exact same production equipment that our customers buy. They ride what you ride, not custom. This ensures our commitment to the development process and guarantees that when you purchase a Naish product, you are buying the best. We would love to share our passion for boardriding with you. We believe that any day on the water is a good day and with the right board, it is that much better.
Specialties:
SUP boards including the industry leading Mana and Nalu series all-around boards to the Glide Series touring boards, and Javelin racing models, plus a full range of SUP paddles and accessories.
