Board Bindings for Big Man

This is my first post, but I am a long time reader.

I am in need of a new board/bindings set-up. Does anyone have any recommendations for a board and bindings for me.

I am 6'5" and 250# I have size 13 feet, so when I ride on my friends boards, my feet hurt after 10 minutes because the bindings are so tight. I also want to get a wake surfer too because my buddies is too small and I sink it. Any advice for boards or bindings?

Absolute 141 W/ Factions

I'm 6'5 240 and it rides great.

my friend who is 6'10 just bought Factions as well... I think pretty much just about any binding you get might be a little stiff the first few times, but once you get them broke in, you're good to go.

For a board, I'd go with the ERA 147.

For board I would say Era 147 or Obrien Natural 144

6' 4" size 14 and ride the Gator 144 with XXL Team Bindings. Works for me.

Check out the CWB Faction 144cm with Faction hinge bindings great setup for the bigger guys and it a great shape for beginner through advanced riding.

I have XXL LF Transits that fit really well and are comfy. I wear a size 13 and I'm 6'4". I also looked at Factions, but I got a sweet deal on the Transits so I went with them. I may try some Factions out next year.

I have size 14 feet and the CWB hinge techs are the best hands down.
