G'day folks,
I am just looking at getting a new wave board and have fallen in love with these two boards but can't afford them both.

Although both quite different in design, it looks like they both suit similar conditions.

I am chasing a smallish board to suit mid to head high waves. I want a board that can make quick sections and turns well.

I am a heavy weight (107kg) rider of intermediate ability. Hoping to get on a board that is Tonka tuff and comes in at a reasonable price. I wouldn't go down the carbon path of the Starboard as I can not justify the $3k+ for that board but looking a spending around $2k.

Reviews on both boards a super-positive so it makes the choice hard.

I would appreciate any comparisons and experiences on both boards to help in my decision.

Many thanks!!
