it will be fine for a while, has a fair bit of length so should get you going.

Length is not the key.Think of a skimboard, they go in nothing and are perfectly flat.
So and try find something flat and wide.

Firewire Baked Potato, North Nugget, Cabrinha Secret Weapon, Naish Mutant.There's a tonne of options.

Hey, i need some advice on a light wind surfboard. I am 85kg use a lithium 14 and union 11 and 8. Looking to be out in the 10-15knot range. I have a old board i dont use and was wondering if its suitable? Will it get destroyed? I might be blind but whats the liters of the board?

Litreage: Try going to Firewire website and finding a similar sized board and work it out from there, at a guess that would be less than 40 litres because its pretty thin. You can get heaps more litres by having a thicker board. I have a Vanguard 6' and that is 40 litres.

Don't worry if they say its too big, start on it practice gybes and then work towards something smaller, you wont destroy it if you don't run it into sandbanks or do big jumps, but you will get some new depressions on the deck after a while.

PS. How old is the board, Michael Anthony shaped me my first custom surfboard over 23 years ago!!

The board is about 4 years old. He makes good boards

That board looks perfect for light wind.
