This fall I capsized the C2 while solo I raised some eyebrows when I stood on the end of the board to get the boat back up.

Is this bad practice? My main concerns are that I might slip and fall on the board and get cut, however is my 230lbs enough to make a board fail?


It's not worth the $1200 to find out if the board can support my weight so I don't stand on it.
