Thinking switching to Starboard, can get 1700 and 1300 S for around 2.2 K, alternate option was Armstrong HS 1250 and 1850 for 4.1 K.
Pros v cons?
What are switching from?
Armstrong gives you full carbon/titanium which is light, strong and future proofed as the fuse mast connection will stay the same. They are really good value IMO with no tefgel and cleaning. I would try the 1250 and see if you need anything bigger first. At 105kg it gets me up really easily. The 1850 is a beast you only need tiny waves or very light wind to ding.
Currently on axis 920S, very comfortable on it except in larger surf as it has too much lift.
Was thinking Armstrong 1250 kit, but Starboard 1300 and 1700 kit is 5-6 hundred cheaper and possibly cover more conditions anyhow enjoying the ding heaps, plus the odd sup. Still haven't got round to prone, water is pretty filthy with all the rain, better than fires of last year.
