I'm currently riding a 9'5" Widepoint which I love, but would like to have something a bit narrower & more refined shape but with similar volume. I keep looking at the 9'8" & it just really appeals to me.
It sure is a great shape just like all the Starboard Pro's. I'm riding the 8'5 Pro now. Almost went the 9'1 Pro but decided on the 123 litre board. The glide on the 9'8 is smooth and picking up waves on it is easy peasy
I had a flat water paddle on a 9'1" & it was great. Sat a little low in the water for my liking though & think it may be a struggle in the surf. Currently trying to get it aproved by the Financial Advisor(missus) but so far have been unsucsessful.
