is it enough weight for a paddle board to anchor for a water yoga class

Unless there are gale force winds, yes I believe the anchor will work well on the paddle board.

I have no experience with SUP but the anchor holds my 13' kayak well on small lakes while fishing. I expect the SUP has less wind resistance to overcome than kayak.

Definitely. I use it for my 16' canoe and it's held in all strong wind just fine. Obviously just make sure the knots tight.

Sure. I'm not sure what you'd tie it to on a SUP, but the anchor is plenty strong if you have enough rope. I'm trying to imagine the scenario you mentioned...if you mean you are going to be doing yoga on top of a SUP while in the water and it anchored to the bottom...I imagine that the water would have to be pretty flat and calm (if so, the supplied rope is likely sufficient). If you are going to paddle to a yoga class, then it would probably be easier to just put your SUP on land for the class. This anchor will hold me (175lbs) in a 70lb kayak with probably another 50-70lbs of gear in it, while anchored to soft sand, in a moving current. It does this because I use about 75ft of rope. The longer the rope, the lower the angle you're creating in the imaginary right triangle. The three points being; you, the bottom directly below you, and the point that the anchor is holding. A lower angle allows for more gripping power of the anchor, and the resisting force is applied more laterally than vertically.

Yes. The longer and wider and thicker the better for a beginner due to the stability it brings. Its perfect for flat waters. Hope it helped. Rgds

Should not be a problem. The straps won't be on the widest part of the board.

I don't think it will be too large. If anything, I find it too small for a bigger person. But, to use it for paddleboarding on open waters would be a concern - it will need to be re-charged every time it gets wet and inflates (unless set on manual). Check out the costs of the cylinders for re-charging this unit before buying. Also, keep in mind that this item is not returnable.

My son is 80lbs and that board feels like it can take really up to a 100lb max. It is narrow and would not be stable under a heavier load.

The board is probably best suited for 115-145 lb, cuz it's a very flexy board, but my friend who was 185 used it, so will I hold like 200 I'm sure, just don't stand in the middle, spread your weight, if you want a harder board I'd look into Canadian maple, mine has like no flex to it cuz I'm so light

Not sure what the "secure" weight would be, but it does weigh around 4 lbs. I use it with a 10.5 inflatable boat and it works good as long as you can hit the bottom with it.

No, it is very lightweight and doesn't hold anything heavy enough to require the anchor.

I weigh around 200 lbs. And get very little flex. It's a pretty solid board.

No it will not hold your body weight. It is designed for light water bottles and such. You will need to go to a surf board shop or repair shop to get a leash plus installed.

Surf board mounts are better for paddle boards. Make sure you get the floaty back door and tethers just in case your camera dislodges from the mount. As far as mounting it on the paddle, you are better off with a roll bar mount or a handlebar/seatpost mount for a more stable capture. This mount is best for locations with the least amount of vibrations.

I would go bigger, as a beginner the bigger the board the easier to get started. This board is light enough even at a larger size. I HAVE ridden this one though and I'm 5'8 150. So it will work. Bigger boards are more stable and make catching the waves WAY easier. Having said that for it's size this board has plenty of float and is stiff enough to support your size easily.

church's inline walleye board would work, i use them for salmon, they average 18 lbs

I have! I use it for kayaks, paddle boards, and a sailboard, and I honestly haven't had any problem at all. Either pull the foam all the way over the corners of the frame to give it more grip or lay a folded yoga towel (my wife's idea) across the frame and make sure to bungee fairly tightly when you use it for the boards. Also place the frame about 2/3rds back and lift the front of the board, it won't work very well if you try to place the frame in the center of the board. Hope that helps!

Not heavy at all....rather on the light side. I've only used it as a drama prop, so won't be able to tell how it'd feel if used as a paddle in water.

You bet. Mine loves it and cries if left behind. I had my lazy 230lb husband and 70 lb lab on it last summer. I use a yoga mat although board is tough. I sit in low beach chair and use it as a kayak alot with the dog. She likes to walk around on it rather than sit still so stand up paddling is a balance exercise with her aboard!

It has held up great this summer for us. No issues with the board -- we used it this weekend and spent the whole day with it rotating 7 kids wanting to try and surf. 45-95 lbs each.
