Hi there, any experience? How are they built? Are they tough? I did not finde the weights. I am interested specially in the 5.1 98l.
Thanks

I have that board. At 84kg I can use it in all conditions. Performance wise it is good. The drop-box foil system is very practical. The boards are not durable and ding easily, especially with hard handle North wings.

Thank you, what isvthe weight of the board?

Im 85kg, beginner/intermediate and really like the seek 5'1 98L.
Enough float for small lakes and gusty winds. Small enough for small waves and downwinders.

+Stable
+Short
+Deck concave
+Does not stick to the water. Early release.
Liked this board better then a JP X-Foil 110l, better then a MB Boards Albatros 98l, and better then Groove G-Fuerte 100l
Touchdowns softer, faster release of the water, more stable, feels smaller.
+Colored deck. You know where to put your feet if strapless

Could be better:
-Fragile, dings
-Foilbox t-nuts get stuck after some time. Got a board replacement already but again t-nuts are stuck in the boxes
-Weight, should be 1 kg less, some swing weight.
-North v footstraps, to small, feet hurt after a while.

Really need the volume for the small lakes and gusty winds. But for coast and bigger lakes i might try a version smaller soon.

This is good Info than you

Hi, any opinion about new seek v3 2024 model ? For me mainly at size 4"10 it looks more or less same as last year.

I have the '23 5.1 98L also. Very nice board. I use it in all conditions. Might pick up the new 88L sometime...
What I don't like is the board is very fragile...

Any chance someone could answer the original question - how much does 5'1 Seek weight? I'm trying to compare it to Starboard Litetech but North doesn't give the mass stats :( the starboard is 7.4kg which sounds a bit heavy to me but it's significantly cheaper

The Seek 98L 5'1 is ~7.1KG

It is heavy due to to the several straps inserts. I found it a pretty sturdy board. No dings despite pretty heavy usage.
Only the paint can get some scratches here and there.
