This is the best selling Victoria we have:

http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=7443

They can do an XL.

Does anyone ride a size large at 220?? It is rated for 220 but not sure what success a 220lb has had on it..

Any idea what the XL is rated to? Someone need an up to 300lb skim board.. I have 3 boards and would really like a 4th that is skim..

XL is up to 250 but according to Mitch of CMS who rides a lot of Victorias he stated Victoria boards will surf more than their ratings on a good wake and actually said you could buy a size down if you have a really good wake. He said their boards can handle a wide range of weight on the same board and why they don't list XL unless custom ordered and why some boards only go to medium

I spent a few hours today looking at skimboards. I ended up going with the Victoria Agent. I remember seeing some posts on TMC about someone who rides a large Factor at 215#. I would think that with the T23 wave that this would work for Mo as well.

Mo, I rode/ride a Phase 5 Diamond 58". It is an awesome board and I was 290 last season. Rope less and no issues keeping the wave at all. 245 and dropping this season and it's even more fun behind my T23. A friend just picked up the Phase 5 Matrix and he's all of 250 and 6'5" behind his Malibu 24' that throws a good wave. He loves it and I'm dying to try that board behind my boat.

Doomswell has a skim that would work for you. There boards are awesome.
