I'm sure it's been discussed, I'm buying new board and the carbon version is about another 800 bucks, at about 1.3 kg lighter what are the other benefits ?
I windsurf and justify spending more for canon rigging as it stiffer so you feel the rig better and it lighter but on the down side not as good at dealing with impact as Ali .
I Can see that maybe this stiffness for a sup may give better feeling through the board but how much advantage is that riding a wave or paddling for one ?
Any thoughts towards justifying me spending another 800 would be much appreciated :-)
