Has anyone in Australia seen or paddled the Starboard 2016 Racer Inflatable or know of any available reviews?

I don't suppose anybody is going to accept my totally unbiased opinion, but I would say it's the most beautiful inflatable SUP board ever released.






















Stiffness is definitely improved thanks to the twin stringers and the carbon fibre rails, although the latter may well be just a clever marketing ploy. The shape is refined, with a rocker line that looks and feels like no other inflatable. I think it's a far better board than any inflatable I've paddled previously. However, I have not seen or paddled the latest model Red, and I expect that one would be a tough competitor.

Thanks for the photos and your opinion PT. I will take your unbiased opinion every day of the week. Though I must admit I have a soft spot for the little Tiki myself, as my SUP truck clearly shows.
