    as long as you don't plan on gaining too much weight and depending on how far out the waves are
    The J-Gordon Retro Fish is the nicest board I've ever ridden.

    You better get in the sauna now. You need to cut to 140 ASAP.

    i weigh 150 6' 1" and it holds me fine -but its my first real foam board so i dont have that much to compare it to-, although you could bump the price up a bit and get a wayyy better board and go with the vic ultra

    Better board and Vic Ultra should never be used in the same sentence, except this one.
