Naish Mad Dog S28
The 2024 Naish Mad Dog is a high-performance SUP surf board built for riders who want speed, control and aggressive wave-riding performance. Designed for intermediate to expert surfers, the Mad Dog is made to push limits in real surf conditions, with a responsive shape that feels closer to a surfboard than a traditional stand up paddle board.
Its surfboard-inspired rocker helps generate speed, hold power through turns and maintain control on steeper wave faces. Whether you are driving hard off the bottom, setting a rail through a cutback or looking for a more reactive SUP surf board, the Mad Dog is built to deliver a sharp and confident ride.
The 4+1 fin setup gives riders excellent tuning flexibility. Ride it as a fast and loose quad, or use the centre fin box to customise the board for different wave conditions and personal riding style. This makes the Mad Dog a versatile choice for SUP surfers who want one board that can be adapted to suit a range of surf setups.
Practical details such as the ledge handle and grooved embossed EVA deck pad make the board easier to carry, control and ride. The EVA pad provides reliable grip underfoot while keeping weight down and improving durability over time.

It is ideal for riders who already have solid paddle surf skills and want a faster, more responsive board for carving, driving turns and making the most of quality wave conditions.
