Picked up my new secondhand 2013 starby 8'5" (thank you, Ali) the other day and I find various people's claims about the change in volume to 106 litres in 2013 having no effect on stability to be a complete crock of, but perhaps it has no real effect if you are under 6ft. Personally, the 2012 8'5" pro is so much more stable its ridiculous, but the 2013 surfs unreal. Anyway, at this point, the star touch deck coating just makes things worse and has to go, so whaddayareckon is the best deck grip?
Cheers
