The Kombat: Fast and crisp, and fun in the swell.
This year, George is riding the 2008 Starboard Kombat 89 Wood in any conditions that demand a 4.0 – 5.2 sail. He finds the Kombat to be a fast and crisp ride that reacts immediately to input.
In higher winds George rides the Kombat 79 Wood, which is the perfect board for him when sailing in the Gorge. It’s faster than a pure wave board and doesn’t have as much rocker, and it’s as much fun as anything to ride in the swell.
