These boards are starting to be mentioned in the forums and even the occasional photos, can anyone supply more info? Are they in Australia yet? What disciplines are they designed for?

I think Nov-Dec is when they are due.. No one knows much about them.

You will find plenty of information about the All Star boards in these interviews with Connor Baxter and Annabel Anderson:

The All Star looks and sounds fast! Sounds like an all round board race machine. Anyone know if this will replace the Ace which seemed to be a very fast flat water and choppy condition board. If not, when would one choose one board over the other in flat, choppy, ocean swell, surf, upwind, downwind?

The Ace remains in the range. The Sprint is a pure flat water racer. The Ace is intended for flat water to choppy water. The All Star kicks in from choppy water to open ocean conditions and is also the better choice for surf race (BOP) courses.

The Ace does a lot of things very well but the one thing it's not so good at is riding a controlled overhead wave in to shore. The All Star should be a big improvement if that is what you intend to do with it.

Really looking forward to learning more about this board and seeing more pics. Seems like it could be a great addition for me and the conditions I see at home.
