I'm the same size and got a Slingshot Nomad 160 and I love me a big board. I'm not trying to do insane aerials so the added size and weight are meaningless to me. I'm also bigger and stronger and than most sub-200lb people. It feels so good coming from a 145 I had.

I’m 6’3 250 and I just got the new 150 Murray ! I was riding a 144 before and the new 150 is a total game changer for me . Boosts me off the wake and so smooth of a ride makes your ride as big guy way more enjoyable and fun and you’ll be amazed by the difference . So if your a big guy like my self go get you one of these bad boys Shaun . Murray know what he’s doing when it come to board . Thanks Shane for giving us great gear !!!!

The board is light and the landings are way softer than on a smaller board. Can't wait for the weather to warm up again here in GA on Norris Lake so me and the local board crew can RIDE!!!

Thanks for covering this topic Shaun. This will help a TON! I’ve been pushing customers into bigger boards years. They always think I’m crazy until I explain the benefits. There’s this common belief that smaller boards are easier to maneuver and rotate. With how far board tech has come, 143-145 is the new 137-139.

I’m on System Pro with Nicks Model Process boots. Not a lot of bigger boards out there. We need wet suits and some 155’s. Maybe some bigger sizes on the comp vests too.

I’d probably grab a 155 if they made it. At 6’3” 240, and not getting any younger, the oversized board would make a heck of a cruiser. HL should consider it. Place some sawhorses under it during the off-season and instantly you have a dining room table!

Shaun, I realize this is an older video, but just wanted to personally thank you for advocating for bigger boards. After spending a lifetime struggling with smaller boards (I'm 6'3" 240lbs), I got your 150 a couple of years ago. I pop right up at the start, the riding experience is so much better for me, landings are softer, and I don't have to spend nearly as much energy in general. Proud to say that at 40 years old, I'm finally jumping wake to wake. Hoping to master some big air jumps before my body/joints force me to a lower impact summer hobby. Anyway, thanks for making wakeboarding fun for bigger humans!

I just bought your board as a preorder as I was really interested in the 150 size and hopefully a softer landing as my knees are starting to hurt more. I hope I dont miss the agressive 3 stage rocker too much, but if I do I still have a good time bomb.

Im 6'2 300lb and it was super hard(besides the fact that in Puerto Rico we dont have lakes that can be used for water sports so we do it at the beach) no calm waters 😅. I've been watching your tutorials and im gonna try again but with a bigger board. Do OWC have big board for rental for the get up guarantee? Thinking i should take the trip from Puerto Rico if they do. This a life long dream, and OWC seems like the place i could make that dream a reality! Thanks for all your tutorials, hope to hear from you.

Shaun, I love your videos. My kids and I just started wakeboarding last year and love it! The only board we have is a 140. I’m (a young) 44 years old 5’9” 230lbs and can get around on the small board alright. The problem is that if I don’t go at least 20 mph, the board really drags in the water and drains energy super fast! Trying to learn how to jump or learning surface 180’s for the first time is pretty scary at 20 mph. I plan to have the Murray 150 by next summer, how much do you think I’ll be able to slow the boat down with the bigger board so I don’t have to be so worried about faceplants at 20?
@Shaun.Murray

Ok here's my take....I am 6" 2" 250 lbs., 57 years old and been skimming across the water on everything for about 45 years. Its all about the surface area! The more surface area you have the higher you ride in the water. Therefore, you have less of the board/edge in the water. This effects several things. Less board/edge in the water means less friction and more of a loose feeling board. Less board in the water also means it takes longer to decelerate the board before the turn to the wake(because less drag). And then to generate speed to the wake you need a greater distance to generate the same speed of a smaller board. Because the smaller board will sit deeper in the water and have more surface area to leverage for speed to the wake. Hope that makes sense. My set up is both bindings set to rear position on a board around 140 cm. This allows me to ride deeper in the water, which allows me to turn with more control and decelerate and accelerate at a faster rate. Figure out your weight per square in (lbs/ sq in) and go up or down from there. In closing, surface area is the most important factor here followed up by tail/nose shape and riding style.

Kevin, In general what you write is true, especially for surfboards, but with the thinner body and sharper rails of the newer wakeboards, you may find that you can bury a rail easier, and have the same solid tracking and amount of dig despite being on a bigger board. I'm in your generation (53) and I have an older board with softer rails, and my newer, bigger board tracks better, cuts sharper, pops higher and lands softer. Much more controllable, overall. It it literally a win-win-win-win situation. You should give a newer, bigger board a try and see if this holds true for you. I suspect you are going to LOVE it. Either way, thanks for representing us older guys who can still shred! You wouldn't happen to be from the CB area of FL, would you?

I rode my buddy's slingshot nomad 160cm and I could literally get around at 2mph. At normal speeds it wasn't super heavy, super poppy actually. I weighed about ~150lb at the time. He's 6'10" 400+ lbs so he needs the big one.

I know its a few years old but I just came across this video. I am 46 years old, 6'6" and 350 pounds. I ride the Hyperlite State 145 that I bought years ago when I was lighter around 300 pounds. I definitely need a new board. Its 2023, what are my options?

Just throwing this out there, would a wakeboard benefit from the serrated edge like the 2012 snowboards? That wavy edge that grabs the edge better... I’m curious what that would do.

Hey guys i’m 5’9 and 195 and I really want to get this board but it’s only available in 150 and a 134 what do you think would fit me more by the way I’m not really that good of a wakeboarder yet. If you even have a little information to give me on what I should het would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

Good question Navid. You could ride it, and are 1" taller than I. BUT, it's going to feel big. Really depends on your personal preference, but I'd say the 144 will be more proportionate.
