my two cents is this. Spend the money on a board that you can grow with and learn on. One you will keep for a long time. I learned on surf boards in ocean, so wake surfing was easy I used hyperlite and liquid force, easy to get up but never could go ropeless. Im to big, heavier then you. I still use those boards to teach newbies because they are so easy to get up on. I tried a big board from hyperlite, didn't work, I tried phase 5 kong, and hated it and terrible build. I then got hooked up with chaos ringer xxl for the really big boys. I put the chaos fins on it, and its super fast and great. Love it. the best part is the owner is knowledgeable and great to work with. You could easily user the other boards. As far as doomswell mentioned on here, I would say I have not personally ridden one, but everyone loves them. The owner is very knowledgeable and ready to help anyone. I am hoping to try one soon. I don't think you could go wrong with Chaos or doomswell. Spend the money and get the right board for you, not a board for the boat. Just my advice, o ya I have a smaller wave and the ringer is super fast, I know the people who ride it at 240 220 lbs they get leg pains from having to be on the back leg breaking a lot.
