A friend of mine weighs 145lbs/65kg and is getting into the sport. Is the P170 too much wing for somebody his size to learn on in Florida waves? I feel like the P140 might be harder to learn on because of the speed but less likely to overwhelm him during the takeoff. He grew up wakeboarding and surfing behind the boat but has no surfing experience in the ocean.
Iām 165 lbs and learned on the P170 and P140. I thought the P140 was difficult to pump while learning and pretty much spent my first year on the P170 unless the waves were big.
A year and a half later I love the P140 now. I mostly ride the P140 now and then go to the P200 when the waves are really small and weak.
