So I have a friend who wants to try out wakeboarding, only problem is is that hes about 30lbs over the weight range on my board. If he uses mine, which is rated for 150-230lbs, is it possible for him to break it just by using it? I know its a newb questiong so please ease up on the newb-harsh stuff.

He won't be able to break it until he can get good air which will probably never happen at 260.

thanks for bringing up this. I have a new board and my friends always use my board and some of them are overweight. Im more worried about broken bindings though. Cause Ive broken 2 pairs myself. But that was from trying to land w2w threes last year.

My pal E.Z. weighs in at just under 260... 
He can get some pretty good air....
Fortunately, he's got his own board now....
