quite a good boat for a larger paddler but its quite hard to play in if you're quite small i found but great river runner however for playboating i'd go for a smaller boat

The X was the smaller brother of the Z. The Z is claimed to be able to take a paddler up to 118kg. Check out this comparison on Playak's awesome database:

playak.com/kayaks.php?id2=1192&id=146


Both were excellent boats for their time. :) Even here in South Africa there are still several floating around and if you get one at a good price then it won't be a bad first boat. Not sure what your intention is. It is a bit long for play boating unless you're lucky enough to paddle medium/big volume rivers that offer big waves and holes deep enough to cartwheel as both the X and Z are pretty long.

To answer the question though, I'd guess that the X would take someone up to about 90/95 kg. Hope that helps. :lol:

I learned in an older wavesport BIG EZ.. GREAT boat, I had a much better time than 80% of the rest of my class because of this boat... that series goes up to SUPER EZ too. If the X is anything like that boat, I'd recommend it fo shizzle;)
