big guy wakesurfer

Looking to get into wakesurfing at 250lbs what size board should I be looking at?

Patrick-- I am 285lbs and I use a Inland surfer blue, The board is fast and everyone from light to heavy, beginners to advanced loves it. you will not go wrong with this board.

+1 for blue lake, for the stage you are at and your size...the blue lake is right down your alley. I am 245lbs and learned on the hyperlite broadcast 5'6" but the only reason i bought the broadcast and not the blue lake was because the broadcast fits into wakeboard racks.

Patrick - I recently went through this discovery as well. At your weight (same as mine), I was recommended an Inland Surfer Red Woody. Bought it last week and it is unreal fast. Amazing difference between it and my old Landlock board.

You likely cannot go wrong with the blue or woody but I have not riden the blue. Get either IS board.

Here is a good discussion about this topic: http://www.centurioncrew.com/Fast-surf-boards-big-guy-t1132.html

whoa. I didn't realize how much wakesurfing dominates the boats forums. 17 out 20 threads on the 1st page of the wakesports section are surfing. That's sicker than swine flu
