Boards haven't changed much in the last year or so.() I've heard many say that surfs from wakeboard companies are usually mediocre. I have only ridden a few, but would tend to agree.

Triple X are always a great starting point for a fast/slippery skim style board and their longer boards will ride guys your size. You can also find some sweet eBay deals over the winter. Seller is tcam123.

I'd really like to try a shred stixx surf style board like the above mentioned or a piranha. Just haven't found one in the budget yet.

Also suggest cruising through the Archives to get more real-world feedback:
