Surfboard for the tall

[jondavis08]

As a bitter wakeboader/skier I'm trying to give surfing a little more time this summer. I'm 6'4 and 200lbs and believe I probably need a board that is meant for someone more my size. Any suggestions for boards for taller riders? Right now I just have a Liquid Force Fish. I have my eye on a used Inland Surfer big boy but wanted to see if there are better options out there. I drive me nuts that I can land 360's wakeboarding and ski the course but can only stay in the pocket for a few minutes surfing

I'm 6'3" and 215 lbs and was surfing a 5' Ronix Koel Fish which turned out to be a little short. Their 5'6" board would have been better for me. I've since moved to a Liquid Force's Dart at 5'3" and am very happy with it. Fast with good push. Immediate improvement over the Fish but due to the length as much as anything. Lots of boards to choose from just make sure you size it properly and try to find a surf shop that will let you try out the board first.

I ended up getting f a hyperlite shim and man it made a huge difference. I can stay in the pocket with ease...
