Starboard 2013 9′0″ x 33″ Hero SUP Surfboard
I recently had the chance to try out the Starboard 9′0″ x 33″ Hero stand up paddle surfboard and it’s my favorite Starboard SUP board for the south shore so in the past few years. I like this board better than the 9′5″ wide point. I haven’t tried the smaller wide point yet.
Svein, the big boss over at Starboard suggested I get the 2013 Hero. He said I would like it and he was right. The board is sidewalk stable, easy to paddle and light to carry. The surprising part is it turns on a dime and surfs way better than I expected a 32″ wide board to surf. For the south shore of Oahu, this board is perfect for me.
Here are the specs for the 9′0″ x 33″ Hero taken from Starboard’s site:
