Hails from the Sunshine Coast, has had some big sections in a couple of boog movies recently. It's fair to say he pretty much rips... has been hailed Australias only hope for a world title amongst his gen. (Movements latest ish)

Backed by: NMD Bodyboards, Unite Clothing Company, Agent 18 Wetsuits, Stealth Fins, Eppos Bodyboard Store

Rumours circulating about him switching board companies as his contract for LMNOP is about to run out!- has now switched to NMD bodyboards!

its a big call even though he gets a lot of exposure i truly believe novy is still somewhat over rated
there is a dozen bodyboarders who could win a title...
novy is definatly one of em

dallas singer could win one. he came super close to taking out a pipe comp a while back.
theres a heap of guys who dominate the aussie tour who could have had a good go but lacked sponsor funding. Ben Gohl and Jayden Hunt for example....
edit- spelt ben wrong :oops:

Yeah I somewhat get the feeling of him being a bit overrated, like he said in his recent interview, he doesn't reckon he's any better then alex bunting and dallas singer. I reckon is has alot to do with him being backed by unite and yeah if you're backed by them you're pretty much classified as a "big thing"! he has had a lot of vid apperances hence all the footage of him. where as dal singer and alex bunting haven't had much since no i! I guess time will tell this year as I think all three are aiming high on the world tour!

he does rip, and does have the potential to be a world champion, but i dont think he ever will be.
novy used to be, like the face of unite (in most of thier ads in rippy and movement), but that'll probably be hardy now

omg tom smith is an amazing bodyboarder. the guy can reverse on a 5c piece, charges big waves with big balls and has a sweet style. the guy doesnt getr coverage that matches his skills i feel.
