  • Pretty excited for this one and the guest & guide feedback have been phenomenal. Join me and the team @moontours May 12-22 for our luxury boat assisted paddle surf trip to the reef break tropical island chains of the Maldives. If you have a partner that would love to come but doesn’t surf it’s 50% off. There are some many other activities outside of surfing including world class snorkelling with chances to see whale sharks, saltwater fishing, flatwater paddling, island beach walks, on board dive master, and more. So much more info on the trip link in bio. Have a look snd reach out if you have any questions or interest. This will be one of our highlight reel trips for 2025 and I would love to have you on board! #surfyourcoastline #normhannexpesitions @sunova.sup @sunovacanada @sunova_surfboards #paddlesurf #paddlesurfing #maldives🇲🇻 #maldivessurf #maldivessurfcharters
  • Tis the season. A quick mission across the island with @jamiesn before the first big coastal hurricane storm event hits the BC Coast. Mountainous areas expecting 200mm of rain and 70knots of wind on the north island. Will look for some Salish sea surf later today on the east side. @sunova.sup @sunovacanada @genrationco #sp25 #caseyrevolution @casey.aus @blackfish_paddles
  • EXPEDITION READY! The @sunova.sup NH Expedition is ready for any coastal, lake or big river mission you have planned. Flat deck for ease of movement and surf landings, rockered high volume nose for ocean displacement and downwinding, and lots of tie downs for week and month long trips. Built in spectacular paulownia wood with Bo Smith Expedition Crest. PC: Bart Jarmula #sunovasup #sunovasurfboards #sunovaexpedition
  • I love when clients/friends send me shots of their multi day trips on their Sunova Expeditions. What a beauty from Geoff Cross and Juan from the Gulf Islands. This is exactly what these boards are designed for. To help you get out and explore your coastline. @sunova.sup #NHSunovaExpedition
