Surf

Picked up the board and rigging yesterday. My son thinks it’s a SUP. We’ll get it out on the lake Saturday. It should be 101 degrees, which will set up a nice afternoon breeze.

I picked up a brand new Volar Surf 150 (2016 model) in the Summer of 2021from a private seller with the intent of using it to teach my grandkids to windsurf while I'm waiting on my local shop (Big Winds in Hood River) to get a Surf 260 in (I can't wait to try out the tandem mode on the 260 with family and the Grand Kids!!!!). Needless to say, I really wasn't in the market for the board but the price was right and, as I said, it was brand new so I jumped on it to see if it would help fill the bill (while waiting on the board I REALLY want!). Fast forward a couple weeks and my local spot was blowing pretty good (15 with gusts around 30) so I decided to put a 34 cm (swept) race fin on the 150 a take my 5.4 Nexus out on it to see if those outboard strap positions are there for looks or for blasting. Welp, question answered.........the board kinda' blasts. The board actually scoots in higher wind (though you best be prepared to use your knees like you're a mogul skier because it pounds in any chop/swell over a foot or so!) and will do a proper planing jibe! That was the icing on the cake (the fact that big 'ol thing can be coaxed through a planing jibe)! I dare say I jumped the thing a few times even (though I'd not recommend it and it was pretty scary as it wagged like a wing.....). Point being, the 150 works okay in light air (with center fin plugged in) to tool around on light days for a guy my size (weighing in at 190 nowadays......) but is EXCELLENT for anyone, say, 160 and below in light air. It doubles as a legitimate learner board (for lighter folk). But, the MIND BLOWING thing is the board was really, really, fun in bigger winds. I just had to try it because it's such an odd shape (compared to what I normally ride) and I really didn't think it would do well at all. But, it did and I had a blast. Sailed the entire session on it. Not sure it would hold up to that regular type of pounding so I don't plan on doing it regularly (but it will do it!!). I wish this board was around when I was learning the sport (1986). Would have made the learning curve MUCH faster. Back in those days you had to really, REALLY, want to learn the sport because the equipment sucked (for learning). That's all changed with this board. Can't wait to get my 260 (due in at Big Winds in June).

Hi, I am looking for a board that can resist impacts of stones in the beach. We dont have sand in the lakes, and when getting in or out of the water, the sides get some hits.
Thanks!

Response: Aloha Lucas, thank you for reaching over. Our boards are built with Epoxy resins and over half a dozen layers on the rails, making them the most durable against rocky shores. Spots like Pozo Izquierdo in Gran Canaria carry mainly our boards in their rental fleet, allowing them to keep the gear in the water year-round and with a resale value after a two years cycle.

Dear Goya staff,

I\'m wondering if the 130 l Trainer is adapted to the lesser weight of people who start with a 130 l board. Are the larger Trainers more ding resistant, more resistant to foot pressure than this board I assume is designed for light-weight beginners?

Kind regards
Johannes


Aloha Johannes,

Thank you for reaching over and considering our VOLAR & SURF models.

Yes, we have the VOLAR/SURF shapes built in 3 different constructions.

VOLAR PRO is the lightest and tightest of all, with a full carbon deck lamination, top-of-the-line fin, sanded paint job, etc.

VOLAR is the middle ground, with a more ding-resistant shell. Still with the same components as the more high-end Volar Pro.

SURF is the school/trainer option with a center fin, full EVA deck pad, carrying handle, etc.

If you are an intermediate to advanced rider, I will go for the first two options.

The SURF option is ideal for people learning the sport, kids, schools, etc.

I hope that I was able to answer your question. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any other.

All the best winds,

I bought this board to have the possibility of feeling the spirit together with my daughter. Thank you for the unique idea of the tandem nose. We had so much fun. You know how to transport the spirit of windsurfing. Thank you.

I really like this board. It is really fun to start with, I use it as a windsurf, SUP board. My favorite part is that is big enough that we can use it all together with my family and friends.
