I would like to know the weight of the 5'2 Skater either from 2016 or 2017, could anyone do me a favor, pretty please?
Either with the fins or without.
I am after the stronger costruction, not the Sport version which I currently ride.
Thank you very much to whoever would be so kind to weigh it.

I am not sure if that construction is stronger. I have the 2017 in that version and have heel dents from jumping (strapped). I don't mind, it is not delaminated and I guess unavoidable if you do not want to build a board like a tank. The 2018 only comes in the "normal" double bamboo deck which was the Sport Version before and has always been the construction on the Global.

Thanks Dirk, they say the Skater has better impact resistance compared to Skater Sport, hence my question about the weight of Skater. Also, I would like to know if the Skater is stiffer than the Skater Sport, by means you would notice it.
Thanks again!
