Has anyone ridden the new Naish Starship? Wondering what your thoughts are about the board, performance and durability?

Hi Tardy,

What a small world about your Titan. I had the 2003 110 liter Naish Titan and loved it. I advanced so much on that board. Do you have the newer version of the titan? Yes you are right, very solid construction! I bought it used and had it for 4 years and got a lot out of the board. Unfortunately the deck got soft in between the front and rear foot straps and I had to look around for a new board. I don't know how abused the board was before I got it, but it had a good 12 years of solid life in it.

yep the titan is back .i have the 2015 model 130 .I use this for my big sails 8 and 8.5 .the 2016 is the same ..just different graphic s.Its a really fast board .
wide at 83.3 and 240 short.by memory.and it feels short riding it too.just enough length for a tack if you do it quick.
Its a great flat water board ..also handles the chop very well ..there is a 120 version ..I talked to a guy in sydney .who has the 120 .he reckons it eats chop for breakfast.I haven't had mine out in real rough stuff yet because its my light wind board ..but very happy with it .
