Hi All,

roughly 120-130l

Hey Hoppy
Step up to the 8'5" pro and I can help you out.
It is more stable than the 2012 model and it is a treat to ride with heaps of drive and easy to break loose off the top.
Once you get used to it you won't look back.

I am 82kg and it did take a couple of weeks to get used to the pro but once I did I was glad I made the step .
I enjoy the challenge but we are only out there for fun so an easier board is definitely worth while.
Hope you find one.
Cheers

Good luck trying to get one hoppy rare as rocking horse s--t when they make a good all round board like that and don't change the design crew just hang on to them

This may be the only guy who may sell his but he's in gnarloo for a week or so more

I'm riding the 8'5 pro and am generally around 85kg. MikeN is right, once you get used to it they are pretty stable.
