Any of these boards good for a 6ft 6in 300lb guy?
I am about your size... here is me on my Red Rocket. Love the board, rumor is Inland will have an advanced "big guy" board in Fall so I will be buying that for sure!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=250&v=0j8H_nQPOH4Your riding way further back than I can right now. If I slide back more than 5-7 feet I'm lost in the wave. I think I may need a little more bow weight since we normally have a small crew.
I've also been talking with Phase 5 and they are going to have a dedicated big guy line for 2016.
what board are you riding now? That was with 5-6 people on the boat (all small under 170 and no one in the bow) and all the ballast full. I can actually ride back another 4-5 feet with more weight. I like my phase 5 board but it simply is to slow for me unless I am on the platform and that is not fun (I should say I am tooo fat for it and that's not the boards fault). I have ridden 5-6 "big guy" boards and keep going back to my red rocket. I would find a red rocket to ride as the speed it can produce with someone our weight is impressive (especially with the big fins). I can even ride with my 40lb son on it and go way back
If Phase 5 comes out with something I would be very interested if it is more of a skim style board but at this point I cant imagine a better riding board that my red rocket. Wish you where closer so I could let you ride it.. you would buy one the same day
Here is a shot with my son but I am not that far back in this picture..
