I have a hyperlite broadcast.. and want to buy my dad a board for his birthday. He's a big guys (around 225 lb), 6 ft 2' Any recomendations on a board easy to get up on that would support him would be great(not really concerned about surface tricks). Any help is always appreciated! <BR>-Marc <BR><a href="mailto:savatsky@hotmail.com">savatsky@hotmai l.com</a>

Inland Surfer Green Room or HL Landlock

Butter Board.

I'm 6ft 4 inches and 230lbs. and ride the landlock. It works fine for me. <BR> <BR>I have heard alot of people recommend the Inland Surfer boards for big guys.

thanks for all the leads... I've been been checkign out all those boards.. looks like the Green Room is the biggest at 5'10... <BR> <BR>Anyone have any exp. w/the Liquid Force Inlander? <BR>(<a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/surf/getboard5.asp?ProductID=2395" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/surf/getboard5.asp?ProductID=2395</a>) <BR>

I just got a chance to try the Inlander out last Friday (it's the board Dave is riding in the pics <a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/articles/2004/spring.asp" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/articles/2004/spring.asp</a>). It's a very forgiving board and has a ton of flotation. One of the guys riding it was probably about 210# and he had no problem with it. Based on what you've said, it might be a good option. <BR>

Another option is the Trick Boardz. I am 6'4" and 250 and ride the XL very well. Allows for great tricks as well as a forgiving ride where the board does not roll or nose dive easily.
