Being so different in weight, it is highly unlikely you guys will be able to ride the same board. The Walker Project seems to be the leader in big guy boards. I know they have made boards for 350lb + guys. I think Soulcraft has a board that rides up to 250lbs. Inland surfer makes the Swallow which is up to 250lbs and the Red Woody which says 300+. Triple X also makes a 5.4' Nitro, but I'm not sure how heavy it goes to. I haven't ridden the Soulcraft or the 5.4 Nitro (I was able to ride the 5' Triple X), but I have ridden the Walker Project, the Red Woody, and the Swallow. I prefer the Walker Project board over the Swallow because it feels more like a performance board. The Red Woody is really just a cruiser board, not really a performance board. The Walker Project board is also custom so you can get a unique board. The Swallow is not customizable but is a little cheaper and likely a little more durable. I should note that when I say performance, I mean big guy performance, so like slashes. Us bigger folks are not really great at getting airs or 360s like those little skinny kids.
