Just brought a set of scales home from the gym to weigh my boards with the fins in...
2012 Starboard Ace carbon 14 x 25 with a custom paint job plus a full deck pad covering the entire dugout... 13.7kgs
2014 Starboard Ace carbon 14 x 25....12.4kgs
2016 Starboard Allstar hybrid 14 x 25....13.7kgs
Interesting. But what do you conclude from that?
And why have two Aces of the same dimensions?
- Laird Pearson Arrow Surfer (SurfTech): 10' x 28.5" x 4" = 22 pounds with deckpad and thruster fin set.
- L41 Simsup S4 custom: 8' x 30" x 4 5/8" = 16 pounds with deckpad and quad fins.
You need to be very careful comparing weights from manufacturers specs as some manufacturers tend to be very conservative with their advertised weights while others can go a long way in the other direction. I don't know for sure if it happens in the SUP industry but having been in the canoe/kayak industry for many years some manufacturers have even been known to quote weights to specifically target their competition and be way wide of the mark on the actual weight of their own product.
When it comes to the crunch, test the board in the store and make a decision there, its the only way to be really sure.
