Im 6'5 185lbs... I just want something to play around on. I surf so this would be something that I would use just to have some fun with....and maybe try it out on some good days!! What would be a good entry level board that wouldnt break the bank?? Thanks
BZ makes good value boards for messing around on. I'd get something long though since you're so tall. Should run you like $150 I would guess.
length? What do you guys consider a longer board for a tall guy...I see some lengths from 40" to 44"....is anything over 43" considered a longer board?? sorry I know nothing about sponging
i use my bodyboard so little that i just got one of the Legendary ones that all the shoobies use but its fine for the couple days i use it a year..when its flat i prefer skateing than sponging. I have a 44" and im 5'5" and 125 pounds
Typically, the 'longer boards' are used for Drop knee, but given your height and weight, you should get right around a 45".
a 45 seems way too big to me. he is tall as shizzz but only 185lbs and something that big will feel like a boat on him. im 6'3 185 and i ride a 42. a 43 would be perfect plus there are alot more selections in sizes around a 43. just my thoughts about it
I agree, get the Big Bruddah, has a great template, board is rated for waves between 1ft to 15ft, the board won't feel big to a 6' 5" person. I ride a custom BSD board link: http://www.benseverson.com/ Ben was always second to Mike Stewart, but helped make BZ what they are today. good luck shopping
i would suggest a 43 or a 44. im 6 foot even and i ride a 42 and its a little big for me. Anything from BZ, Custom X, and Mike Stewart Science are all good boards and they all have a large selection
I personaly ride a Toobs Herlihy which is a 46 inch board but it will set you back about 260$ its a great quality board and you can ride it prone dropknee or standup but for just messin around i say a BZ or Custom X
thanks thanks for all the info, Im gonna take a look at a couple of different models and let you know what Im thinking... LOSTsoul....Ive broken more surfboards than the loads ur mom swallowed....think about it.
