We recently released the much anticipated review comparing the Starboard Wedge, Spice and Pro surf shapes. This video focuses on the addition of the new 8’0 Wedge board into the range and where it sits in the Starboard range of boards.

Some interesting views, Beau. I enjoyed your take and I think you are right, however I cannot find the Pocket Rocket on the Starboard website anymore and the Hypernut is only offered in the Starlite and Limited constructions. This suggests to me that they aren’t selling well and perhaps the 8’ Wedge is indeed the replacement for the pocket rocket. Looking at the 8’ Wedge and trying to remember the Pocket Rocket they seem pretty similar in shape to me. I am a big lad (190 cm and around 105 kgs, depending on what I’ve eaten that day) and I… Read more »
Hi Seb, great insights about the available constructions and that Starboard seem to be missing a trick without a carbon board in that size range. I can see the Pocket Rocket on the Wide Ride section is available as a carbon board, and the Wedge comes as carbon too. Reflecting on the video, maybe I was too harsh as the Wedge does surf very well – it’s just very similar to those other boards in the range. I’d keep an eye out for any HyperNut carbon boards that come up for sale. Thanks again!
I really like the boards this company makes but i just wish you could order a board from the comapany website. I like going a local shop but sometimes it just more easy to order from the company website :(.

Doh. I did not realise that the pocket rocket was hiding in the wide ride section. I thought it had hit the end of the road 🙂
Yeah, they need to make it more visible!

Valid point Jason. However, the shops and distributors make it easy to distribute Starboard products globally.
