See their "board finder". I think it depends on the size of the wave you've got going behind your boat, plus your ability. . . the "board finder" gives different suggested boards when you use 200 - 250 lbs. rider weight with small wave than with large wave, for instance. Same for beginner or advanced.
I'm between 195 - 200; I started with a Blue Lake Quad and it was great for a couple seasons, now I have the Swallow V2.
At 230 with a wave without a lot of "push" I could see the Sweet Spot "pearling" (nose dive and swamp, leading to a fall). With the right wave here's a look at one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3ON9-E-PUU2010 Super Air Nautique 210 Team EditionComment

alright guys thanks for the feedback....HS have you had bigger guys close to my size ride your swallow? I have a good size wave so thats not an issue. I just want to hear it from someone with a swallow or blue lake that my weight def wouldnt be an issue. I know it gives weight limitations on their website I just didnt know how true they were.Comment

I am 6'2 210 and ride the Swallow with no problem behind my SAN 210. Have had my 5 yr old daughter that weighs 40 lbs on my shoulders and was able to go ropeless easily and do some slashing too. Definitely wasnt sinking with her on. I am a novice surfer as this is was my upgrade from Hyperlite Broadcast. I believe the Swallow is more advanced than the Blue Lake so I would definitely go with the Swallow.Comment
