Skim style board recommendation?

[LAwake]

What skim style board(s) would you recommend for 6'1 210 pound guy just getting into wakesurfing? It doesn't have to be the best of the best. Looking for something that is beginner/intermediate but will allow me to advance with the board as I get better and is at a good price point.

Love the P5 Danielo Diamond. Here is a great video with an explanation between the Diamond, CL version and the hammerhead:

Thanks! That's some great info. How do you think the Matrix fits into the mix vs the Diamond? I'm looking at a 17 Matrix and a 17 LF Keen right now.

Hmm. Maybe Chris can help here.

We make skim boards but they def. aren’t my passion. Phase 5 makes great skim boards. I’m a bit partial to exile. The exile boards are amazing and the guys are awesome. Shoot Hank an e-mail tell him Chris @ PS sent ya and he will take care of you. [email protected]

If you're looking for a skim that's a good value, take a look at the Lakewakes Flying Saucer. We have one that's made for my buddy who is your size.

Tell Mark at Lakewakes I referred you.

Just purchased a 2018 Hyperlite Hi-Fi this past spring. So far so go.

Been riding surf style over the years, big change when ride that.

A full size phase 5 hammerhead is an excellent board for a person your size. Lots of speed. I’ve had one and sold it to buy a smaller size in the same board. I think you would be pleased with one.

I've had a few people suggest the HiFi as well. Big change? As in better or just a different ride compared to surf style?
