Hi.. I'm Sean Poynter.. I'm a stand up paddler for Starboard.. Check it out..

You can check out the vid here.. www.mensjournal.com/

It's a 3 minute vid with 3 seconds of surfing but maybe this guy's someone to watch out for.

This is a better vid with some cool music.

That board he is on seems to be really restricting him.

I noticed that.. I didn't want to say it but you're right.

That may be true, but he looks good walking out to the water with that majestic timber beauty under his arm. And that has to count for something.

Starboard are rubbish and they do not honour their warranty .... i broke one of their weak boards in half just by paddling out through waves smaller than those in this video ........... i would never buy one and recommend no one else does either .......

I have surfed on a few starboard SUB's over in NZ, and they were super fun and the NZ starboard guys are champs. How did you break a board paddling out ?
I surfed a 8'0 starboard out a 6ft beachy seemed pretty solid to me..

I say that everytime about me when I go for a surf !

I thought the guy on the Blue board was going well and those waves looked super fun.

Although Sean Poynter didn't look as smooth as the other fella I just wonder what he and the shaper will learn from that design and what it leads them to next?

I saw an older vid on vimeo last week which I hadn't seen for a while of some fella on a small board(very small at the time of the original posting I think?) and one of the comments at the bottom was that it looked like he was struggling to get into the waves..least thats what I think the half wit was trying to say lol. The soundtrack was good and the rider had a beaver tail and I think it was an evening shoot...I look forward to DJ finding it and posting it on here

All i'm trying to say is that these fella's...and yourselves over in Aus with all the custom shaping going on, finding new and improved ways to shape and ride are keeping this relatively new sport fresh and exciting....oh and I've never ridden a starboard so wouldn't want to comment on construction

I'm working on a video now but i reckon Ill be to paranoid to post it on seabreeze you guys are harsh critics hahahahaha I might put some porn in it so its worth watching hahaha

Don't think you need to worry Appsy, apart from the fact you rip I don't think people here are harsh at all.

My observation was that the guy on the timber SUP who the article was about, was clearly a top notch surfer but was obviously struggling due to the design restrictions of what he was riding - particularly compared to the guy on the Blue model.

Yep agree. And I was only kidding. My video won't include any porn LOL!!
