The largest board in the test is particularly suitable for committed touring paddlers as a stable and stable base. The length ensures rapid progress and the generous width provides the necessary stability even in choppy water. Even heavy SUP beginners will quickly get to grips with the Crossover. There is plenty of reserve volume for luggage, and the large net on the bow holds a large bag for the day's luggage securely. The additional handles make it easy to manoeuvre and carry.
Even after switching from paddle to windsurf sail, the board has a good touring character that invites you to go on exploratory trips. Windsurfing beginners can also learn on it or intermediates can continue practising. The board runs straight and stable and doesn't wobble much. However, a very clear steering impulse is required for jibes and tacking. The mast foot holder is robust and glued to the board, which is a particularly solid solution. You hardly notice it when paddling, but the hard knob is annoying when sunbathing at the latest.
Conclusion on the Naish Crossover
A sophisticated touring SUP that also works well as a windsurfing board. However, its length makes it less suitable for children and very small sails.
