Beginner 200LB Board

[korey]

We also have a Landlock as our learner board, but I'm not really suggesting it for your need. I think it fills the same place as the Connely Ride you already have, maybe a bit better/faster, but not by a lot.

I love the Hyperlite Shim as something to grow into quickly. I've had mine since '15 and still love to hop on it, even though there is a Doomswell and Phase 5 in the rack next to it! I'm over 250 and ride the longer Shim no problem. I'd stick with the longer one @ 200lbs, but just barely. If you have smaller people that would enjoy it, you might consider the smaller (not grom sized, but mid sized) option. Sorry i don't remember lengths off the top of my head. Lots of great things to say about that board: its tough so you don't have to worry about it in the racks and sun, you can swap the fins around and completely change it, it's easy to learn but gives you really unlimited growth (this was Brian Grubbs pro model when it came out). This would be considered more of a Skim style board, but locks in very well with just thw two outer fins, I've never ridden mine with the center fin, I think I lost it...
