JeffS,

The N15 looks durable and is a good youth trainer, more forgiving than the higher powered F16's. My concern is its a 310 lb boat, which is a good bit heavier than the F16 (~275 lbs) and nearly twice the weight of an A-Cat (165lbs). Tough to move that around on the beach solo. Certainly in breeze-on conditions and with the option to go back to the C-boards for non-foiling conditions it offers a lot of flexibility which is a good thing, but thats not a light boat to haul up the ramp solo at the end of the day.
