Hi, Hobie's are great fun boats, but with a Sail Area more than a Tornado, the 16 is not really for a beginer and with your weight you will find it more than a handful. I would advise you to try a Dart 15, then move up to a Hobie 16, preferably with a crew , after cac ouple of years. Dart 15s hold their price well so even if it proves to be a mistake it wont be that your stuck with a lemon that won't sell |
