Hi guys,

I need some help real quick. I can't seem to find the weight of a floor goban. How much would a goban like this - http://grab.by/q1dM weight?

Approximately? Any information is greatly appreciated!!

Looks like a Katsura 4 - 4.5 sun (similar to my spare board I brought back with me from Japan)

12 - 16 kilograms most likely

I was going to guess 5 sun and 19Kgs. So, yes, probably somewhere in the ballpark.

Mine looks to be about 2/3 the thickness and weighs just under 18 pounds. So 18 * 3/2 /2.2 = about 12.27 kilos.

20 Euros? A fine purchase. Looks like a Korean board. Hope it's not too badly dinged up. I happen to enjoy imagining the previous owner's use of such boards and I've had two of them.

If you plan to resurface the old board, please be aware those discussions have taken place several times here and at other go resources.

Have fun. Play lots.
