Does someone own the 2015 Starboard 14 x 23.5 Sprint ?
I would love to hear
your feedback on stability and speed of this new model (especially compared with the 2014 Sprint 12'6 x 24).
At this point though, I would take any comparison you got against other SB boards.
I am thinking of getting raid of my 2014 12'6 x 24 Sprint, and replacing it with a Starboard 14-footer.
Here's what isn't working for me with my 2014 Sprint:
The wave created in the rear is absurd, yet I only weigh 129 pounds. I have tried ever position imaginable on the board.
Stability is okay, though the 2015 12'6 x 25 is so much MORE stable. Its cut away to allow for a wider stance is brilliant.
It's pretty fun and responsive, surfs pretty well in small DW - but I can always use more stability and speed
.
14' tails are far narrower and should close the waterline a little better. I may get more speed.
The 14' x 23.5 Sprint comes to mind, but perhaps a more playful mate would be a 14x25 Ace, or a 14x25 Race.
