Looking at getting a Starboard inflatable 14', an upgrade from my current 12.6x31 touring.
I have basically 2 options, either the current model 14x28 or a 2018 14x26.
I'm really tempted by the 26, but I'm having a hard time deciding if the current model is that much better in terms of construction. My current board bent quite a lot, so I want to avoid the same with my next choice.

Side note, do the 2'' make much difference in terms of speed and stability?
