Pitbull, i tried mine out in some decent 3 footers last week,first surf in some decent waves.This sup turns much better than i expected due to the width,and was really good down the line.I'm running quads at the moment,but i will be looking try out a thruster set up soon,i just get the feeling it maybe the better option.I'm about 88-90kg and really bought this sup due to neck and shoulder probs,and to give me some rest from 9ftr,but for a big guy like you i think it's plenty of float,4 3/8"s is still pretty good with the 31 width so you should be able to apply some real rail and tail pressure.Goodluck and lets know how you go.cheers.

Had my first paddle today. Shoulder high very windy.
Really impressive board. Bit of yaw with the width and running small quads. Once used to that all good nice and responsive for it's width.
Thin tail helps and the v in the back third aid rail to rail transitions.
For what I got the board for it is ideal; up to head and a half lumpy bumpy fat waves. The acceleration through the cutback is a highlight
Hey hilly thanks,more or less how much do you weigh? As I'm wondering if the board will float my 220 lbs? Have you tried it as a thruster yet? PBD
