Can't go too wrong with the PR. Not many for sale as people tend to hang on to a good thing.

Still have my 2011 model and it is my go to board in all conditions.

She will love it!

Has anyone ridden those two boards back to back yet? Be great to hear how they compare.

Skiman,
Congrats on the new PR.
Have been looking at both of these boards on line myself as I don't think either has hit the states yet.
Would you mind sharing why the PR over the 8'3" allwave? Any info appreciated....

Has Starboard gotten rid of the flat decks for 2015? Or still flat as a table top?

Hi Firesurf
My wife didn't want anything over 30" wide and she is only 50 kg's and learning how to surf coming down from the Element.
I was happy with her decision as I'm 115 kg's and can ride the PR at 131 liters on a good day with no chance of riding the AW it's only 120 liters
We have the AW to demo this weekend my mate wants one and he is 75 kg's I will give some feed back next week
