"Great riding board...stable ride that cruises over chop with ease. Smooth acceleration...perfect for non-planing fun due to stablity...Nova's wiide jibe is smooth and easily maintains speed. Tolerates bad form better than most is respsonsive to changes in turning radius - a rare combintation...Nova has an amazing all-around performance."

Nova 165 : Express progress
The new Nova 165 is aiming to become THE board on which the whole family can learn without having the bother of excess board width. Its reasonable width (82cm), comfortable, well-spread volume (165 litres) and light stern loading the bow section means you can ride in light wind without wallowing. Suitable for all rider sizes. The Nova 165 has the same excellent planing as the Techno 2/160 from which it was developed but with fittings that make it affordable for all budgets : EVA foam covered deck, moderate length fin and more centrally mounted footstraps allowing you to learn funboarding the easy way. If you fit a bigger fin you’ll have more of the performance of the Techno 2/160, so you can learn and progress on the same board.
