Recommended vs Official Bluefin Sprint Weight Limit
The Bluefin Sprint’s official weight limit is 420 lbs.
However, we recommend that the Bluefin Sprint have a maximum weight between 300 and 350.
Why do these figures differ?
Most brands, including Bluefin, tend to state a higher weight limit for their boards. While this isn’t necessarily false advertising, it is somewhat pushing the boundaries of the optimal functioning limit of the board.
Paddleboards might not sink if loaded above the recommended weight, but paddling becomes significantly less efficient. The board sits lower in the water, making it harder to paddle and maneuver.
By sticking to our recommended weight limit, you can ensure a buoyant and responsive paddleboarding experience.
