Dave, I am similiar 6' 194#.When I first started wakesurfing I met with Jerry Price and we looked at his boards. For my height and weight plus surfing experience he recommended a board,5'4" or 5'6" I think. Now when I surf, I ride a 6'10" board. I thought no way I can ride a board under 6'. So I met him in the middle and I bought a 5'10" ShredStixx. I soon realized I didn't need the extra length while wakesurfing. The board works great for 360's, tailslides, railslides, floaters, cutbacks, etc.. With the extra sac in the rear locker you can get some nice air drops. I am going to get one of his smaller boards this summer. I have tried the LF, Inland Surfer, XBC and Shred Stixx. I own an Inland Surfer(blue) and the Shred Stixx. Out of all the boards I have tried I stick with the Shred Stixx. It gives me the most accurate feeling of surfing.(which is what I am after)
www.shredstixx.com. There are tons of posts on here titled "Which is the best wakesurf board." There you can find information on others opinions on boards if you'd like but if you want a surf style board get a Shred Stixx.
