Probably not a very good board in general. You don't need it that long but you definitely want at least 42" wide.

Do you mean centimeters? The board is 17" wide so that's 43 cm, obviously a little narrower at the ends.

Still a little on the narrow side? I want this to be easy, I'm a busy man :)

I learned on that board, or one very similar at least ... I'm 5'8" @ 195 - worked great. You will very quickly outgrow it though, it has a core to it and is sort of floaty and once you know what you're doing it will feel cumbersome. Can always hold on to it as a lightwind board though!

This board looks ancient, I think for a similar price you can get something better.

Check the classifieds on here, for example this one doesn't look too bad: https://www.bayareakiteboarding.com/for ... ad_id=2443

Sorry, yes, I meant 43cm, that board might be wide enough but it's way too long.

You're getting ripped off at that price

offer 'em $100

I actually just typed up an email offering $100 before I read this, waiting for a few hours before sending since I think they are time-constrained.

Any other opinions? Today now or never.

Personally, I don't even think it's worth $100, it's better to spend little more and get a better board that you will like and won't outgrow too soon. Also a board that you can sell when you are ready to upgrade.
