Question

What is the best wakebaord for a guy my size? 6'3 285lbs quality, comfort etc?

Answer 1

Jenny Craig?

Answer 2

A surf board... Your obviously gonna need a big board.  And your obviously gonna need a badass boat.  Thats a lot of weight to be landing on a poor defenseless board.  Maybe a titanium reinforced board is your best bet.  Look on the bright side-- your buddies won't have to waste time filling up a fat sack. j/k

Answer 3

170 cm. that should be good, ummmmmm... also i would agree with the first guy, Jenny Craig wakeboards are AWESOME that is what i have!!!!! I love it!

Answer 4

Don't let anyone discourage you from getting into wakeboarding due to your size.  I've pulled up a 6'6" rider behind my boat so I know it is possible.  You will need a longer board.  Hit up your local board shop and see what they have in the 143cm.  Getting up has more to do with technique than horse power, although that helps.  I can get up behind old PWC, not any of the 100 - 250 hp models on the market today.  Check out http://forums.wakeboarder.com/ and check out the find a pull forum.  See if there are any riders in your area who would be willing to give you a pull behind a boat with more HP if you do not have access to one.  Lots of cool people on the site who are always willing to give a fellow rider a pull.  Good luck.
