Hi Paul, Pretty hard to come by really not that many on the market in the smaller length with that volume size. It might be a job for the customs? Otherwise have a look at the Startboard Wide Point range, Not really performance longboard but pretty close!

Hello, Could you explain the different feelings between Sunova Style (9’6 XL or 10) vs Casey Revolution 10×28 ? Those 3 babies have similar dimensions and shape looks quite close. Does the Style or the Casey glide better between wave sections ? Does one of them turns on a pivot on rear more than the other (more carvy) ? Thanks
The Style was designed for more of a longboard feel, so yore going to get better glide and stability from the board. The Casey Revolution was designed as a more performance longboard. Even though the dimensions are quite similar, the Casey is slightly more refined to offer better performance so it will turn easier and feel a lot more lively on the wave.
Hi Beau, thanks, both looks very interesting boards. As the Style 10×29 is more longboard feel oriented, are there big difference between Style and Stylemaster 10×28,5 ? Maybe a better turnability with the Style with a narrower tail ?
I wouldn’t say there is a massive difference between the two. From experience, the Fanatic is super smooth and does everything very very well. The Style being a little bit wider throughout the board might add to the swing weight when turning, but it would be minimal. I’d be stoked to have either board in my quiver to be honest.
Good, thorough review, covering all the bases! Thanks for the video segments… great looking waves to test the Style in!

I like the shape but am looking for a 9’0 or 9’6 performance longboard surf shape with no less than 140L. Any ideas?
