Starboard have introduced their double chamber deluxe construction for 2018 and I've been enjoying the 12'6" x 31" Touring Deluxe Double Chamber for the last few months now. Aside from the minor weight penalty (1-2lbs) the board feels stiffer and has about 40-50% less deflection than the 2017 board. (measuring sag over a 2m gap at 18PSI)



Review will be out soon, anything in particular the Zoners would like to know about the board that I could include for you here?

In terms of deflection and stiffness,  how does it compare with a comparable size Red Paddle?  When will you be reviewing the Airline 14?  (I've seen the video of the two Starboard riders do a "shootout" between the Airline and a carbon Allstar,  and it sure looked liked there was alot of flex in the Airline by comparison) So I am eager to get your on water review.
Thanks!

I'd also be curious on how it compares to a similar RPC and Hala's CarbonNass 12'6x30 touring board.
