Looking for a big guy board I’m 6’2 300 and trying not to break the bank. Any suggestions?
I’m open to used boards as well

Thanks in advance

Would like to try and find something around 500. Don’t want to spend a grand on the first board

I’m 230 and the liquid force Pod is super fast! My 4 yr old often rides with me and we can surf with no rope with no problem. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190223/c030b9fa7ec588047c1f562f1e60b51e.jpg

I am 230 and i ride a Trident. I've even surfed with my 110 lb son but thats just running straight, long enough to take a pic. I think the Kong would be perfect but they're not cheap.

I'm in the same - or similar - boat. I don't mind spending a little more and this is far from my first board. I've been Riding a 5'3" Hyperlite Shim for a few years now and enjoy it, but feel somewhat limited by it. It rides really deep in the water with my 280lb fatass on it. I've been eyeing the Phase 5 the Doctor as a big dude specific ripper.

The big doctor carried 220# me and my 50# son EASILY. We were carving and actually surfing. No problem. Just a couple weeks ago.
