Picked up my wife's new Pocket Rocket today close call with the Fanatic 8.3.

Can't go too wrong with the PR. Not many for sale as people tend to hang on to a good thing.

Still have my 2011 model and it is my go to board in all conditions.

She will love it!

Has anyone ridden those two boards back to back yet? Be great to hear how they compare.

Skiman,
Congrats on the new PR.
Have been looking at both of these boards on line myself as I don't think either has hit the states yet.
Would you mind sharing why the PR over the 8'3" allwave? Any info appreciated....

Has Starboard gotten rid of the flat decks for 2015? Or still flat as a table top?

The PR shape looks awesome!

I would be very happy to do a demo/ comparison /review if you have them on hand

8'3" Allwave is in our new shop in Mandurah, Pocket Rocket's coming soon. Drop in and chat to Damo, you never know he may just let you take them for a spin

Hi Firesurf
My wife didn't want anything over 30" wide and she is only 50 kg's and learning how to surf coming down from the Element.
I was happy with her decision as I'm 115 kg's and can ride the PR at 131 liters on a good day with no chance of riding the AW it's only 120 liters
We have the AW to demo this weekend my mate wants one and he is 75 kg's I will give some feed back next week

Hi Drew
Let you know next week

Those of us that know skiman...............know that none of his boards are for Jen

look forward to reading your reviews of the boards as my weight is about 75kg too

pocket rocket with rocker and tail v ... hope it isn't a speed down / control up compromise ... sounds good on paper though! could make PR a better one board quiver
