230lbs + Riders

A category that sorts it out for you. Here we have selected a few, but certainly not all, of the boards that work well for riders that are 230lbs plus. Often it is easy to find a stiff board to fit the bill but when you want a little flex it can get dicey.You want flex that will not just sag in the middle and will provide some snap back for a fun and lively ride. This used to be a tough category but now there are some great boards to choose from.

The Dregs Paradox 40" Freeride is a great example. This board provides all of the smooth flex you want and can handle guys up to 300lbs. I had a guy in the shop way over 6 feet and about 300lbs. This board holds up to his weight and while it flexes it also give a nice response, I really recommend it!

Another great choice is the Sayshun Crisis Longboard. This board has great concave for powerful carving but will give just enough flex without sagging out on you. Earthwing board are also a great choice. Brian at Earthwing is really turning out a quality product that will hold up for heavy riders and the cool thing about his boards is that some also also have a kick tail so you have an extra tool for maneuvering around all those pesky obstacles.

I also recently received an email from a customer, 310lbs. that highly recommends the Comet boards. He has especially good marks for the Grease Shark and the FSM Mini. Both handle well and are 10-ply so they perform well for his size.

I'll keep adding boards to this list but if you have any questions please feel free to call or email us anytime so we can discus a specific board you are interested in.
