Took the Starboard Ace 14 x 25" for an upwind / downwind paddle yesterday, more stable than a 25" board has any right to be and so so easy to get it onto a swell.

It was choppy 10 to 12 knots and the thing was linking, amazing! Felt a little awkward at first with my feet in the footwell getting back into surfing stance but its quite do able

Sorry for the pimping

i do that a fair bit, otherwise i wouldn't get out much at all- i have not shame

You're talking about pimping, right?


As for the board in question, had a run on it this morning (thanks Jonathan) in glassy conditions with no wind and the iPod GPS showed that it is a pretty quick board for top end speed but the most interesting thing is that it travelled 20 metres further in a 60 second sprint from a standing start compared with my K15. That's impressive.

Great vid JC.. Nice looking board.. The front looks a lot like the K15.. Oh.. hang on.. That's the back..
