STARBOARD LONGBOARD by Nico Arnedo
A new year begins and I have already had the opportunity to test part of the new Starboard 2022 material. On this occasion, I present to you one of the boards that I most wanted to feel under my feet, where the “Longboard” style prevails and is already a reality within SUP Surf. The Starboard Longboard 10’0” x 29” of 123 lt. and with the new addition of the Limited Series construction to this model of boards. With a weight of less than 10 kg, this board is very comfortable to carry; and this is thanks to its construction and the honeycomb pad, which weighs less than conventional pads. The Limited Series will be a great alternative, since you can get them at a cheaper price than in other constructions and with great performance. I really liked that classic white color, changing it for the mythical blue of this brand. In the water, I found it to be an easier and more comfortable board than expected. Yes, it is very reactive, as Starboard specifies on its website. And it gives you great confidence when looking for your ideal position on the board, as well as when paddling when turning the board in search of the wave. Great stability and I’m sure it’s thanks to its weight distribution and its double concave, which is not tremendously exaggerated and also allows you to gain speed comfortably. 78
