New Starboard spotted.
« on: October 05, 2012, 04:07:56 PM »
Yesterday I was out paddling and bumped into an old windsurfing mate who was demoing a new Starboard 12'6" inflatable that I had never seen before.. We swapped boards and I was first impressed with how light this board is to carry.. and even more surprised at how well it paddled.. It was stiff, fast and stable.. I thought the nose was a bit odd looking at first and I  have not seen the new Naish 12'6" inflatable but I think the nose is different on it. It will be interesting to compare the two.. I was very impressed with this Starboard and I took some pictures.

Looks legit, and nice detailed photos as usual.  I think inflatable touring/race boards have a big future for folks without a lot of storage, or who want to go touring on vacation.  I kind of want one...

Yup - they are an awesome board - coming in three lengths. 12'6" / 14' and 16' tandem.

There will also be 12'6" x 26" and 14' x 26" inflatable race board in early 2013.
Easy Rider is the name of my store in Edmonton, AB, Canada.
My name is Warren Currie . . . and we SUP Surf indoors . . . in a shopping mall!
