Right now i paddle the new wavesport fuse and i'm five pounds away from the wieght limit. i can throw it around and everything but it can't surf well because the nse purls. i was wundering watch would be the best suited for me.

Also, you may want to check out the JK 4fun or Superfun. Fluid makes the Nemesis and the Flirt that, if you get the large size, go up to 240 for the Nemesis and 250 for the Flirt.

Have several locals here in the 225lb range that surf the heck out of them. There is plenty of volume in the from to keep from peraling and they really excell in a hope. There is also a local in that range with a long torso and shorty legs thatis happy in the RAD 185. t

air bags like the Jackson happy seat thruster combo is a good thing for your knees.. for the feet, you could try and find a JK happy feet, they come in two sizes, small and large, or you could just customize the foot foam block that came with your boat..

Oh and don't worry about being on the low side of the weight limit in a playboat (unless the boat is just gigantic), it may be harder to do flatwater tricks in, but on a wave it'll be faster, and looping will be bigger, cartwheeling is up to you and your ability.

I'm sure you'll be able to. My one mate weighs less than me and could also throw around his large Fluid Flirt. Max weight is 240 lbs according to the Fluid site.. Not sure where you're looking. Good luck, and have fun!
