New tige owner and surfer

[Palle Man]

Pick up our new rzr this spring for the fam. Looking at wakesurf boards. I have been surfing(actual waves) for years and I am 200lbs and 6"1'. Can anyone give me any advice? Brand?

I've rode all the inland surfers and I really like the quality of there boards but at any rate if your interested if sell you my sweet spot board pm me if ur interested

Welcome to the site. Post up some picks of your boat. As far as boards go I would look at boards from Walker Project, SoulCraft, Brigade, Doomswell to name a few. these will all be actual surf oriented and you being an ocean surfer like myself I think you would enjoy these. I would suggest a board around 4' 10" or 5' depending on the size and push of your wave. Check out Wake9.com and the reviews from the Polar Bear event where we had a lot of these boards there. Happy hunting

Awesome! Thanks for the replies. Pick up the boat in April and I will post some pics.

Really like the look and description of the phase5 trident. Any likes/dislikes?

I have ridden the Trident and thought it was ok for a skim style board trying to have a little surfy feel. Fun but if you like to do traditional ocean style bottom turns it won't hold good enough. But everyone has a different preference, and truly the best way is to try a board out.

started on a broadcast and grew tired of it quickly. bought a phase5 daniello pro back in '08 and it's been a great board. taught several on it and it still sees some time behind the boat today. have an IS 4-skim and it's a real fun board but slippery. not a board at all for new riders.
we are pretty much all surfstyle now and have a ronix, cwb and 2 soulcrafts that get the majority of the time behind the boat.

as mentioned, find a dealer that will let you demo some boards or a few people in the area that you can try out. that's the best way as mentioned by topaz.

Good enough. Thanks everyone for the info. Not sure how to demo boards in spearfish sd but will figure something out.

Give the Squid a call! Maybe he and his family want to visit Mt. Rushmore and get in a surf session!
