THE SUNOVA | NORM HANN EXPEDITION is a versatile touring board that has been designed for paddlers who are excited about going farther, exploring their local waterways or enjoying a fun day tour with family and friends. Norm Hann, a legendary Canadian paddleboard expedition leader, environmental ambassador and SUNOVA athlete has rigorously tested this board in some of the harshest coastal conditions in British Columbia on his multi day paddling expeditions. In partnership with designer Marcus Tardrew they have created a board that not only performs well on overnight trips but is a fun, comfortable and beautiful paddling board that can be used on almost any waterway and in any condition. The Expedition, in the paulownia wood construction with stunning Pacific Northwest tribal crest, is one of the most striking boards on the market. If you’re looking for a stable touring, flat water, or ocean crossover board designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind for your paddling goals then look no further.
