Hi

thanks for the Photos, the Ace must be super unstable with the small tail.
Has the hull got a flat bottom or a displacement hull?
And where is the widest point on the board, as that would be the most stable part, or what do you think?

It's got a pretty flat bottom and soft'ish rails.. I think both of these boards are very similar in tippyness because even though the Starbie has a pintail it has more nose area sitting in the water.. and it's also slightly wider.

Is that the 28" wide Ace Pro DJ? I know the narrow one is coming. I'm really looking forward to trying the 25" out.

Yes it's the 28.. The new 25 should be a rocket if it's not too tippy.
