MODEL OVERVIEW
The Nova is a high-speed, small-wave driver built for everyday conditions—easy to paddle, fast off the mark, and effortlessly responsive underfoot. Its wider outline carries momentum through flat sections, while the refined rocker and bottom contours keep it lively, predictable, and composed in the pocket. Designed for wave count, flow, and that electric HS feel, the Nova delivers reliable performance for surfers who want a board that lights up every session without needing perfect surf.
SKILL LEVEL – All Levels
Suited to all surfers from beginner to advanced. Recommended to be ridden 2–4 inches shorter than your standard shortboard, or at your preferred target volume.
CONDITIONS – All Conditions
The Nova was created to excel across a wide range of conditions, from fast, punchy beach breaks to smooth, clean wave faces and even the world’s man-made wave pools. Ample surface area through the nose and tail helps generate speed through flatter sections, while the medium rocker maintains a responsive, controlled feel when surfing tight in the pocket in steeper waves.
SUITABLE WAVE FACES – Flat to Overhead
Suitable for wave faces from flat to overhead, the Nova adapts effortlessly to beach breaks, reefs, point breaks, and especially wave pools.
