Just looking for some opinions. What is the highest performance board
that still has a center board?
For my purposes, I would define 'high performance' as possessing the
ability to progress to using a harness, foot straps, and more advanced
turns, etc. (power jibes).
From my research, I would say that the closest thing that I have been
able to find is the Starboard Rio S (175l). I am 5'11, 185 lbs and
would classify myself as an advanced/aggressive beginner looking to
learn/master the aforementioned skills. Looks to me that the small Rio
has the least amount of buoyancy, length and width, but still has a
dagger.
Any thoughts or opinions? Any other boards I should be looking at?
BTW, I have looked at the Kona One (seems freakin huge to me) and the
Fanatic Viper (seems ok), as comparisons.
Thanks
(For those of you who have been following my progression, I am getting
very close to pulling the trigger on a purchase).
