I have the smaller HL broadcast 4.9 and it's too slow for my 150lb frame and big wave. I'm not a fan and don't recommend.

I love cruising and carving on IS Blue Lake. Very light weight, very fast, will probably get damaged very easy.

I also rode a CWB and it's much cheaper and a surprisingly fast. Fits in my wake racks too. For those new to the sport and looking for that first board to free ride, this is a good choice and price. Fins were small that you can go surf style and land some 360's too.
