One of the first things I did after unpacking the Phantom was stand it on our bathroom scale. Now the weight only showed 24lbs, but factor in the 10lb offset we have on our scale to make us feel better about our personal weight (haha), that would make the board 34lbs (including centerboard, straps and fin). So at 295liters, that's light! I'll be trying different fin combinations over the next while to see what works best with my sail quiver.

 

I'll post some pics in the future.
