<< Does anyone have comparative experience riding the Naish 8-5 vs. the JP 255
> Wave? >>

I rode both extensively last August in Maui. At my 177 lbs, the Naish was
difficult to slog or point when the wind was flukey. The JP 255 Wave was
easy, especially for a board small enough for comfort and control with a 3.5.
 I liked it so much I bought the rental board and brought it home, for my 3.5
to 4.5 board. I can carry a 5.0 on it too, but there are better boards for
me for that size sail. It is important to have a couple of different fins to
expand the range for this board.
