Hi All

Any thoughts on the Starboard 7'8x32" Wide point. I am thinking of getting it as my second board for sloppy wind bolwn days. I currently have the 2013 8'0 Carbon pro but when it get a little windy and bumpy its a real handfull.

Thanks

Hi murf,

There's a review from finn mullen on the starboard sup website.
Offcourse they say it's a great board but that's the only review I could find.
Cheers

I Have a couple of mates that normally ride 8'5 pro's but think the 8'2X32 WP is so much fun in sloppy surf so it all sounds relative.
Give one a demo

Thanks for that guys.

We have no demos in Adelaide just yet so I will just have to take a punt with it

I went to a Starby demo day a few months back. It was windy onshore & 2 foot. Tried the 8'2widepoint & the 8'5 pocket rocket. I'm 6'2 100kg & found the pocket rocket to be more stable overall. It had more front to back stability & felt it surfed better!
The 7'11" looks pretty much the same shape as the PR, just a bit shorter. At your size it would be my pick.
