need info about a Gaastra board

I have found an old Gaastra riderx 146 kite surfing board, that i can find no information online about. Here is what i do know- it was owned by a guy who was an avid pole dancer who also kite surfed. I think the board may be from 2004-2007 and is basically brand new. Any body have an idea of what it would be worth as well as if it would be any good for me. thanks

If you are looking to get a board to learn on and later keep it as a light wind board I would look for something bigger and wider.
If it will be replaced soon it may work to learn on. How wide is it?

As far as price goes I would say around $100-$150.

Hi Scott!

This is something I just went thru myself. I saw TONS of inexpensive boards that were 144-154 but they were 40 or smaller wide. I finally just bit the bullet and spent the dough on a 164x50. Will be great to learn on amd as I progress, a fantastic light wind weapon. Several people including my instructor have told me that since I weigh 220, wider is better. I saw a super nice door on ikitesurf the other day...
