Hi folks

I'm a long time listener/first time caller who is currently on the hunt for a 12'6 race board for BOP style races and the occasional downwinder.

I'm keen to get some advice on what sort of weight the race boards typically are. I understand that if a board is ultra light it will be an advantage although the durability will be limited. For those of us on the hunt for a second hand board I'm sure this is something worth knowing a bit about.

It also seems there might be some value in standardising the minimum weight for boards in each race class to ensure it's a level playing field and individuals who can afford to buy a new board more frequently don't have an advantage. Much in the same way most race craft have some type of weight spec.

Thanks for your feedback
Herb
