Ben and I had the use of a couple of the 2019 Starboard Longboards over the weekend which coincided with great weather and waves here at Saunton Sands in North Devon. What a great board. With 123 litres spread over 10 x 29” it has rails more akin to a surf board than a SUP.
The wave size was around head high, it was perfect conditions to try this long awaited board. So many positives to this board and every time we used it we loved it more and more. With a lot of speed on some of the drops, the thin rails held in fine and the speed was easy to convert into turns which for both of us use to smaller SUPs was a great help.
At 74 kg, i thought 10 ft might be too big for me and the 9ft was the way to go. I have not tried the 9ft yet, but I was surprised how much I loved the 10ft, it didn't feel too big.
Overall, the Starboard Longboard feels like a great board and what ever you're riding, this is a must for the quiver.
