My buddy Teeps has just got himself a new board. Not everyone manages a full carbon 14' racer for their first board but thanks to a run out deal, he's managed to scam the bargain of the century with this Starboard Surf Race...












And here is it alongside my poor cousin - the blue stripe glass version. I'm very jealous. There is about 2 - 3 kg difference between these two boards and they both compare very well with the Naish Glide 14' counterparts for weight and price at the moment.






And here it is on the water. I must do a time test to see if there is any extra speed to speak of courtesy of the weight difference.
