I was recently fortunate enough to purchase the New 9'5" Starlite Starboard Widepoint. The board as most people know is a tried and proven good surfing shape. The Starlite material however seems to be virtually impervious to damage and is incredibly light. My friend has the same board in carbon and after or before a surf finds it difficult to physically feel a weight difference. It seems to be a pricing game changer for Starboard. I hope you all get a chance to demo a Starlite built board in your preferred shape as you will be amazed. Merry Christmas break and hopefully a happy New Year to all at Seabreeze (not gone, just quiet ). Thanks to Paul at the ZU it was as good as you said.
