Question
Val 125 what will be max weight on this board ?
my kids tall but 245lbs.

Answer
Hey MB,

There really isn't a max weight of person to board volume. The weight of a person on a particular volume will depend upon the persons sailing ability. If your kid is able to waterstart and can make jibes, then he could sail this board. The key would to have enough wind and a large enough sail. Bigger sailors need more sail for the same wind conditions as smaller sailors. You kid could sail this board but will probably need to up at least two sail sizes. Again, being able to waterstart would be the key for riding this board.

Hope this helps.
Keep on sailing,
Windlover
