Gear Talk / High aspect for surf paddle
« on: September 09, 2015, 04:40:05 PM »
Who surfs hard with starboard high aspect paddle?   My favorite race paddle of all time. Looking at it seems like would be great surf paddle as well.  I use enduro right now.

Technique / airs????
« on: February 20, 2015, 06:46:00 PM »
i have such trouble with airs on sup? i can do them decent on shortboard mute grabs, backside grab, frontside and backside. but on sup i can only get small hops and thats when i hit the most perfect  ramp. aka. white water section coming at you... i always seem to tail drop or early get fins out.. i think i gotta pull my back leg up more???  i ride  carbon 7'10 airborne.i know its hard to get 7 ft bed outta water. i see a perfect section to launch and 1 out of 10 is decent most are lame or just 2 inch pops? anyone know the sercert?

Training, Diet, and Fitness / 20 days to get fit
« on: February 08, 2015, 01:57:21 PM »
in 20 days I'm going on 2 week surf trip what is best fast way to get back in surf shape? i would surf more but get home from work and its dark, I've been skate boarding a little and jogging but i  hate running.  i like the bike a little more but its so cold out. i just bought that pusher pole thing to use with skateboard. i do some push ups and sit ups everyday. breath holds and apnea walks everyday.

Gear Talk / starboard race or ace???
« on: December 23, 2014, 07:01:56 AM »
hey I'm in between the 12.6x25.5 race and 12.6 x24 or 25wide ace I'm 200 lb and mostly race in choppy ocean conditions in 3 to 10 mile races. I'm not sure which board would be better for that. i want to be fast but some what stable as well in the chop.  id like to go narrow to gain a little speed but don't want to to tired to quick from fighting the wobbles.  I'm siding to the ace @ 25 wide i think? anyone ride these boards?

Gear Talk / starboard airborne weight?
« on: September 06, 2014, 06:15:46 AM »
got airborne last sept. 2013 it weighs 7.2 lbs with wax fins leash an tail pad. just got new 2014 airborne weight if 15 lbs with no fins wax or tail pad.  I'm guessing 1st one was a early production model/prototype? 2nd one actually feels thicker i think and star touch is really rough.  weird….
