Hi, i’m 110kg and i launch with pvc launcher like wakethief
which boards you recommend? value/money?
thx
Not a joke. That’s what I want for dock start
I’m not the biggest fan of dock starting, but I’ve used my pocket kitefoil board for it and it works excellent. Slingshot HopeCraft V2 90cm
At your weight, you have to be selective. I’m 200lbs. Several guys in our group are over 200lbs. Slingshot puddle pumper is excellent. Heavy but bombproof. You’ll snap all their other model board. The takoon dock board my buddy has seems to be holding up well so far. We’ve broken several others; liquid force, cabrinha, dwarfcraft

I’m 195 and the HopeCraft seems fine as a Clydesdale board. Apparently the old Dwarfcrafts were quite weak, so they bumped up the stiffness and durability for the Hopecrafts.

The hopecraft is much lighter than the puddle pumper. That’s great to hear it’s strong
this video is old but you can find some of these boards on sale or used cheap
Which of those boards can handle 110kg?
what about indiana & gong?
The Gong Kluber 80 is crazy value and the only way you can get a better board for dockstarts is spending $900+.
While the Puddle Pumper will work, the thing is a tank and I wouldn’t want to pump it personally.
Indiana’s pump foil board is thicker. but gong may have more carbon?
