Hi, do anyone know the diffrence about the weight range between converse and XL? Both 140l, but Converse only up to 85kg and XL up to 115kg.

Do you think the XL is more stable? Actually I think they should be about the same.
Thanks!
Andre

Its about the target rider for the board.

the Pro XL is targeted towards very big, advanced riders
The Converse is for mid sized riders who are progressing from a beginner board to their first surf shape.

I would expect the converse to be more stable with the added width and wider nose.

Also consider the Pocket Rocket 8'5

Thanks! Actally I'm on a JP Surf pro 8.10 126l. Looking for a second board for choppy days. Thought about the pocket rocket or converse (widepoint is to width I think). But for small waves entry should be the converse better
