Board Decision

[dwash34]

New here and new to skimboarding. I have been visiting the Florida gulf coast for the past few years and have become interested in the sport. I need some help deciding which board to buy between a large Zap Pro or the Victoria Bigfoot to get started. I am 6'2" 210 and cannot make up my mind. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Vic bigfoot is
Size Suggested Weight Dimensions
ONE 170 - 230 lbs 56.7" x 21.5"

Large zap is

Model Name Dimensions Thickness Rider Ht. Range Rider Wt. Limit
PR54 Large Pro 54″ x 20.25″ ¾“ 5’4″ – 6’2″ 220 lbs.


You are 10 pounds short of the ZAP weight limit and 20 of the VIC... Go with the VIC, being a beginner its helpful to be as far away of the limits of the board as posible. When u get better u would wanna size down for more manuverability. Make sure your VIC is not that old cuz VIC made very shitty Ultras until 2010, big foot is just a larger Ultra so im guessing its also shitty..

And take care of your new board , when starting out usually boards get pounded alot and ware down rapidly (beginner models being out of cheapest materials dont help either) .. So , beware of rocks and other skimers, also put the board out of the sun/heat while not in use... Unless you are rich, then it doenst matter.
