Does anyone know much about paddle
surf Hawaii / psh boards? i just found this at a shop in NZ, brand new- 9'4 x 30 x 140ish litres. Properly thinned out rails, good bit of nose rocker and good vee in the back 1/3 of the board. Looks like a really nice surf sup shape- paddles really fast, but haven't tried it in waves yet.
i can't seem to find this model listed anywhere online and interested to know more
about it? Or what it was made for etc?

Feels pretty well built and solid.

PSH boards were shaped by Hawaiian Shaper Blaine Chambers back in the early days of supping. I have ridden or owned most of his boards from 12ft done to 8'0. I still have his 12 ft Ripper Gun SUP.
The board you have found is the PSH allrounder in the boardworks construction. They are great surfing boards and are well designed and won't fall apart on you.
Would work great as a Quad or 2 plus one.
Definitely made to surf. Google Paddle Surf Hawaii on you tube and you will find someone surfing that board usually in Hawaii.
I'd get it for sure.
You won't regret it.

Awesome thanks Wazza! What's the boardworks construction by the way?
I was searching them last night and finally found a link with my board dims- a few people said that specific model was very rare ( wide ripper 9'4 x 30 x 4 120l) but I haven't seen any with a round tail like mine? Maybe it was a custom?

Boardwork construction is a different foam and layers compared to a normal custom board. Very durable and if you ding it it won't take water due to the foam inside basically. C4 and PSH did all of their boards in this material in the early days of Supping (15 yrs ago).
The board will definitely will last. Check out supzone and search PSH and you will find heaps of info on these boards.
Most of those models were narrower and were a swallow tail. Blane didn't do many customs unless you lived in Hawaii.
How much are they asking ?

+1 PSH are great paddle boards and surf really well. I have a 9'0" diamond tail stashed at my mother in laws place on Oahu. Had a 9'0 in black and white with chinned rails that was the best surfing sup I owned. Borrowed a few different models when visiting Hawaii, all surfed great.
Aloha
