I’d like to follow up on my previous comment regarding the leak on my Starboard Allstar Airline. The board developed leaks in three different places. I contacted the dealer as per the warranty. Starboard did honor their warranty and sent me a new board a couple weeks ago. The new one uses the fusion skin technology so I hope it holds up well. Great job Starboard and Vermont Ski and Sport for their customer support.
Great stuff and this is a good example of a top brand dealing with there customers well. Thanks for the update

You will be up and flying at 10 kts but with understanding and getting a good pumping technique maybe a little earlier too. For your bodyweight a 5.3 Nash wing will get you up in lighter winds 8-20kts. But if the wind is always this light maybe you should… Read more »
