After buying the factor PCX on your recommendation a couple years ago, I'll say that you better have a BIG wake and be on your game or you're falling right out the back on this board and I'm barely 200 lbs. There's just not enough real estate with that board in that size to say it's big enough for truly big guys. I don't care what Victoria says.
Don't get me wrong. I love the handling characteristics. It's squirrely as heck and a ton of fun. Just too small for bigger guys IMO. The only other gripe I have about it is that it's pretty hard to teach a newb how to surf on it. It's for experienced riders only. Actually, that's not even a gripe since newbs are not who it's made for. My weight fluctuates between 190-200 and there's a big difference in how it rides depending on how my scale reads.
