Not scared to list our weights if people ask, always hard to put them on the website though as people always only want the lightest and as we all know boards can vary a little. This is a weight list of our wing boards maybe 6 months or so ago, things are touch lighter now as we are always progressing.
The 5ft boards are 90L and the 5'4 are 110L all with strap inserts. This lists non carbon full PVC and full carbon full PVC.

Sky Wing 5'2" (85l) is exactly 6.5kg without straps. The Fanatic website says "TBA". The cardboard box that the board came in has N.W. 6.5kg written on it. The numbers are written with a black marker, so maybe they weigh each board, but don't trust manufacturing enough to put a weight on the website.

The volume seems pretty close to accurate, although it might be slightly below the official number (but it's possible it's just the shape making it feel less stable than a thinner board with the same volume). I don't trust manufacturer volumes...neither of the two boards I use for windsurfing is the exact volume that the manufacturer says...My 93 is 99 liters and the 97 is 95 liters. So, I always assume board volume is about 5% marketing and 95% accurate.

some boards I weighed... sorry for the imperial units

2022 Sky Wing 5'0" 13.0, 13.0
2022 Sky Wing 5'2" 13.5, 13.8. TE 13.8
2022 Sky Wing 5'4" 14.3, 15.4
2022 Sky Wing 4'8" 11.2lbs
2022 Sky Wing TE 4'8" 11.6bs
2022 Sky Wing TE 5'4" 14.6bs
2022 Sky Wing 4'7" 9.0lbs

2022 Sky Wings are produced in two different factories AFAIK split among smaller and larger sizes. There was some overlap earlier as the first shipment of 5'4" and 5'0" boards were from the same factory. Subsequent shipments seem to have 5'2" and smaller from the new factory (gore-tex vent) and 5'4" and larger from the original factory (screw in vent plug). TE boards were made in the new factory and weights were heavier in the smallest size 4'8" and lighter in the larger sizes.

And it seems they're quite strong too. No dings and damages so far, despite used in some rocky enviroment.

Naish 2019 Crossover 150Lt with railtape & extra pad: 12 Kg!!

Wing Boards owned or currently own;
Naish 85 5.7kg
Naish 75 5.2kg
Naish 60 4.5kg
V1 gong 5'1 85 Hipe 6.6kg

Starboard TakeOff Pro Carbon version 5 2 x 91l 5.8kg naked.

4.3 kg with foot straps

Not enough! It's the second one from a major brand that I've had, that has broken or cracked.
It would be good if the Carbon advert BS was matched by the ' carbon' construction.

How do you know volumes?

How do you know volumes?

For my windsurf boards, all my boards are production slalom boards, so sailing.org measures them accurately and lists the volumes on a PDF. This one seems to be from 2020: www.sailing.org/tools/documents/WSTListSlalom20200720-[22524].pdf

Once you have a few reference points like this, it's not too hard to tell if a board is somewhat above or below your weight in liters, but of course that's not scientifically exact.

I have often thought about the easiest ways to accurately measure the volume of a board. I think a hook on the bottom of a water reservoir of some kind and a pulley and scale would be relatively easy and accurate as well. You could do it half a board at at time too. Or, if you have a box or tub and you can strap the board on the bottom, you do that and fill the tub to a known point, remove the board and add water until you reach the same mark (carefully measuring how much water you had to add). Or start with a full tub and weigh the overflow after you sink the board (or two halves of it). (I'm sure there's a topic about this somewhere...this might not be the thread to discuss it.)
