Used board choices for a quasi-beginner 220 pound male

Question
QUESTION: I am 6'2" 220 pounds and have limited windsurfing experience, but only rode for a single summer before an injury and wish to get back into the sport after nearly ten years.  As a result, I'd say that with few exceptions, I'm pretty well starting from scratch ability-wise. What is a good starter board for me.  I'm thinking from what I've seen on the secondhand market that my budget will likely dictate that I have to get something of older technology in the 8-10 year old range.  Can you make any recommendations for me? If I was to spend a little more money and get something half as old, what would be an appropriate board and what could I expect to spend?

I have seen a couple of 1999 Bic boards in impeccable condition for sale locally, but I suspect they're too small for me.  One is a Rumba 310 and the other is a Veloce 328.  Any help that you could offer would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

ANSWER: The Veloce may be a good board for you to start with. It is quite old so it should be in really good condition or I would pass on it.  Will the owner let you demo the board?  Once you become more accomplished, this board will likely not be something you may want to keep, but that's ok too since you could just resell it.  I really prefer to buy equipment no older than 5 to 8 years old.  Are the sail, boom, mast etc. in good condition?  It is really hard to make recommendations when you are buying used you really need to see what is available.  In basic terms I would go with a board that is more than 160 and up to 200 liters in volume.  A center board will make learning easier but will eventually be something you won't want once you get proficient. In really good condition with good mast, boom and sail and all parts included in good working order I would not pay more than $200 to $300.
Good Luck and Good Wind,
Patrick

QUESTION: What about a 2006 Bic Techno 293 One Design?  I have only seen videos, info, and reviews online depicting it as being used by junior boardsailors.  Will this board work for me as an adult at 6'2", 220 pounds, with limited exposure to the sport?  This might be a dumb question as it appears to be quite similar in specs to the standard Techno 293, which I believe is designed for sailors of all ages, but as a newcomer to the newer board designs, I am not certain whether or not the One Design board is one which is appropriate for me.  Thank you once again for your time and insight.

Answer
This board has 205 liters of volume which will provide good float. Seems like a good option for a light wind short board.  You may, however, outgrow it depending on how quickly you progress.  Can you demo it?  That will tell more if it will suit you.
