Sailing a Prokids Go 100 as an adult

3rd June 2008, 09:58 PM

Here the situation: I own a Carve 145 and an Prokids GO 100 (2006) for our kids.

Now, I'm thinking to use the Prokids on my vacation for sailing myself.
What can I expect of this board, with my weight of about 80 kg? What is the sailrange?

Hi Krabke,
I've sailed the small APro Kids Go (several years worth of them) and they work just fine.
I'd suggest a better fin than the 40 cm Freeride Flow that came with your board.
A 48 cm slalom fin should work well with sails in the 6.5-7.5 range and something a little smaller (42 cm maybe) in a free ride or slalom shape should be good with smaller sails.
Hope this helps,
