Man, what kind of board do you have? I have a 2000 double up 145 pro and it only weighs 7.0 pounds.

As far as going big, try edging harder and holding it. That should do it. Joe

man, bord weight is bull****. A pound or two isnt going to really hamper your riding ability. If you like the way the board rides, dont give a second thought to weight

12.5 pounds for a board and binding weight isnt that much.

My buddy weighs over 250# and he can clear the wake - so I don't think your board and bindings being heavy will impact your riding too much!

I thought he meant his board was 12.5 pounds. I just thought that was a lot for a board. You guys are right though. Weight doesn't have much to do with it. I weigh 225 pounds, it doesn't hold me back. Joe
