I've got a buddy who is pushing 250lbs and he has never got to drop the rope before. The guys at our surf shop are letting me demo a board for him ... but I can only take 1 for the day.

What do you suggest?

Skurfer 4' 11" Manta Ray
5' LF TC Skim
CWB AMG Carbon 4' 11"

He seems as though he favours a skimmy board over surf.
