My kids, 100 and 150 lbs, surf like champs on a 4'8" shim board. I'm 200 lbs, took me a bit to get the hang of it and drop the rope but I got it, just takes awhile to get the feel (helps if all passengers sit on the left for me). I've got a 230 lb brother so I ordered a 5'9" board for him and any other beginner.
If I were to do any upgrading I'd replace the rear bags with the 1100s.
