Custom boards are most likely going to be the lightest because you can ask for them to be made lighter... Also means they could be a little weaker though In productions which will be a lot easier to find (unless you want my nude!) I think starboards are one of the lightest going by boardseeker tests. I think not sure though. My nude chopper even with a couple of repairs was a lot lighter than any production board I felt. In saying that i had a 2012 starboard flare that was really really light for its size. I don't think it makes that much difference. Maybe if your a freestyle guru you might. never noticed too much. Felt pretty good carrying it to the beach though
