Starboard Pro
« on: February 27, 2017, 05:12:58 PM »
I took a spin on a 7'4x25.5 78L Pro today.  After about 15-20 flops, I figured out where to place the feet, paddled around and caught waves.  At 150lbs (soaking wet in a Patagonia R3), the tail was buried 3 to 5 inches under the water and thus moving around was required.  Once in the wave, the thing is a ripper.

Very cool. I'm pretty much the same size as you and am strongly considering getting a board with similar specs & shape for the fall if things go well between now & then. Is it a permanent addition to your quiver? Would love to see some pics of you out on it if you get some (including at rest).

Very nice. I have a 2017 8'x28" Pro on the way. Was planning to lose a few lbs before it arrived. That didn't happen...
Will post pics when it comes in.

Surfafrica - Not going to be in the quiver.  However, the owner is a good friend and daily SUP buddy so I do have unlimited access to all of his Starboards (Nut and few Pros of various sizes).
