If you’re looking to buy your first time race board, knowing what type of race board to buy can be a bit of a headache. Most brands will have 2 different styles of race boards (flat water and all water) in 2 sizes (12’6” & 14′ lengths) which come in many different widths. We talk to top Starboard rider Ollie Shilston about what are the basic differences between the Starboard Sprint (flatwater board) and the All Star (all round open water board), after his win at the Battle of the Thames in London.
Find out more about the Sprint that Ollie was using here on the SUPboarder equipment guide or visit Starboards website here.
