So, when are we going to hear your impressions of your new board, coldsup? There will be quite a few people (including myself) who are wondering if it's worth splashing out for an All Star this year. The carbon ones are hugely expensive (although no more than all-carbon boards from other top brands, for sure), so you'd need to be sure before you pulled the trigger on one.

I suspect you'll find the 27 All Star quite a bit more stable than your M14.

I onderdeed my custom hollow B17v2 just on pics and videos and knowing exactly what I was after. Thats key - Know what you want and what exactly you'll be using it for.

Hah. That's exactly how I ordered my F16v3... But as the owner of two Allstars, the incredibly fragile 2012 12-6 and the better 2013 12-6, I can say with the former, I wish I'd know abut the fragility before I bought.. or at least knew about the Zone to get the intel first. Can't wait to see the review on this 14 x 27 as if I ever buy another All-Star it will be a 14' not a 12-6.

Yep - I had the exact lemon - an egg shell strength board! That's where my relationship with SB finished :)

14kg isn't too bad. My 14x26 Red inflatable is over 15kg just to put it in perspective.
If that weight translates to durability, that's a winner.

and if you do need to carry it over long distance like I needed recently, just rig the leash through
the handle converting it to a shoulder strap.

Looking forward for the review.
in progress...

I’d just ride it, preferably downwind. But… whatever floats your boat.

Always baffled by the 'egg shell' comments on the All Stars.  There were no All Stars in 2012.  2013 was the first year for the All Star.  My 2013 AST battleship grey All Star was bulletproof.

I have a 2014 and a 2016 AllStar and some of the guys I paddle with have them and we all agree on how tough they are compared to other boards.

Maybe tough compared to other 'eggshells' :)

I guess they're still putting a single layer over Eps?

I've had a fair few SBs and all have been deconstructed.
