Starboard Brushed Carbon 8'0" X 28. The rails are thinned down from the tail until 2 feet from the nose. The full single concave hull comes alive with magic maneuverability and speed. High performance riders between 35-65 kg (75-142 pounds) will get the very most out of this board. A Pro board for the next generation.

All I can say this board is pretty unreal in the surf and can handle anyting from 8-10 ft surf. This board is actually a lot more stable than Starboard makes it out to be. I'm 5'7" @ 165 lbs and have no problem standind on this board. It does get a little tiring after a couple hours of SUP when there is some chop or wind on the water. For a board this size it's to be expected. It does paddle pretty good as long as you have a good size paddle. I recommend one cut to your surf lenght but a wider blade to give you a little more power when getting into the wave. Getting out through the surf is pretty easy with this board too. If you are riding in beach break conditions the pulled in nose helps diveret the wave around the board allowing you pop over most white wash. Keep in mind that you will need to be in your surf stance in order to get through most waves with this board since it's small and light.

The carbon construction by Starboard is in a class of it's own. This is the BEST construction you can get on the market today. Of course, it's going to cost you but you truely get what you pay for. Be carefule! Once you ride a carbon board by Starboard you will ONLY want to ride a carbon board. You will most likely start selling off your epoxy boards and upgrading them to Brused Cardbon.

I'll add some more action photos when we get them but for now check out the beauty of this Starboard Brushed Carbon 8'0" X 28"
