Wow, I didn't realise Terje was riding for Starboard.

For those that don't know Terje Haakonsen was for a long time one of the best snowboarders in the world, and is considered a legend in the sport, this was back when Shaun White was still coming up through the ranks.

wow, that is one slick brochure ... and very cool. seems the company has really committed itself to the success of SUP surfing. i wonder how the faltering world economies will affect things. i hope not at all. but my understanding is it's upping the prices by quite a bit, so we'll see.

anyway, don't want to rain on their parade. i think *board makes a terrific product and i'll be buying one of those 10.5 drives myself. what a sweet looking sup!

I tryed a Whopper once and it was very greasy..

It's fantastic that they have such a comprehensive range. They seem to have thought of everything you could need for SUP.

Disappointing that they have not included deck inserts for carrying with the paddle or a shoulder strap.

Hopefully the local dealers will stock more than just the basic models.

Yer the range is massive for 09, i have seen the new 10.5's, they looks the goods, nice wide nose and drawn out pin tail, the rails toward the tail are a fare bit thinner than the 11'2.
The black camo looks sweet also the Classic yellow with the finger print grip feels realy light and i am told the grip works realy well, i'll give some more feedback when i get to have a paddle, just waiting for a glassy day to get it out there..

I wonder if the Tufskin paddles will catch on. It looks like the base models have Tufskin but a resilient sheath on a carbon paddle might be a good thing to protect board, paddle and rider.

9'0" Stinger looks like it could be fun.
Who stocks Starboards in Vic?

I paddled the finger print grip 10'5 twice this arvo in a little onshore wave sesh and some flat water glass and it felt like a dream!!!
Its almost 12am and Im too knackered to go into detail but will do ASAP.
WOOHOO!!!

been riding the 10'5 for 3 days now,sam may never this board back. The board comes with small fcs side fins (maybe a first for starboard)and had may first surf with them in, board was sluggish hard to paddle and just wanted to flick me off all the time and slow on a wave, came in after a few not real happy i through this board was going to be the allrounder i've been looking for. Next day took the side fins out and went out dy point in choppy surf, this time as soon as i stood up everything had changed i was now on a stable table paddled straight glided through the water no longer sluggish, now when riding waves easy to turn fast if you have ever riden a mal and want to now sup this board is great turns off the tail like a mal unreal you can just lean it over on the rail off the bottom and you get heaps of drive.Today went out manly smooth 2-3 ft unreal. If you live in the sydney area go and see sam at wind surf n snow at longy or give them a ring 99710999 and you should be able to get another one to demo as he's not getting this one back and if you don't like it there are heaps of other sup's in the shop to try.He has demo days on staurday mornings down the end of anzac ave at fishmans and thursdays nights from 5.30 to 7.30 on narrabeen lake
