Surfboards for big guys 90-100kg

Eying off an airush cypher

has anyone tried one?

www.airush.com/2015/boards/cypher/

I weigh 90 kg (6'4" tall) and ride strapped. I have the 6'2" WAM that I use for lighter to med wind strength with small to medium waves. I use 4 boards generall according to conditions. The WAM's width and volume is the widest and most buoyant of all my boards, and therefore this is the board I would pull out for most occasions.
When things get big but with smooth surface waves, I like a slightly narrower mid section (about 18 inch) with sharper rails and thruster setup.
When waves are purely ramps and surfing is not the main aim and wind is strong, I pull out a 5'8 " board with sharp rails for carving and low volume(helps with staying nice in the air)
When the wind is strong, bumpy surfaces on waves and holding down the rails become a difficult issue, I pull out a 4 fin 6'2" x 18,25 " board that holds a line well, but gets too stiff for general riding purposes.
Now the debate on V, concave,tails types, rails shapes, thickness and shape, material type of board(construction) and wind direction can all influence the riding experience and be a personal feeling when all is combined.
Difficult to keep track and keeps me analyzing to find the best combination for the situation.
No one can give you the right board, you have to find it yourself according to your specific needs.
Gets to be an expensive exercise, but breaking a lot of boards keeps one learning new board characteristics.
Sorry, but I do not class my WHAM as a big wave board in my neck of the woods.

92Kg's when soaking wet,

Riding a slingshot tyrant 5"11, doing the job and was cruising last night in 15 kn on a 13 m razor, also have ridden and enjoyed airush cypher, a lot more skatey and loose through the back end, not as gunny.
was riding a 6"2 epoxy but found it was getting heel dents just from cruising around.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Topturn, as I understand it the latest WAM 2015 had a pretty big design change, it has a considerable amount of tail rocker. Im told its based on the 2014 Pro. In slop and lighter winds it bogs a bit. You find yourself hiked over the front foot to prevent pushing water. I have only enjoyed it in the bigger stuff. But yeah, I am 100kg so maybe thats the difference.

Hey Glug, I am 115kg, not much of a surfer, but have been learning the last few months. After a bit of research and trying a few things I went for the Airush Slayer size 58, V2. This is last years model. It's nice and wide, stable, carves and turns well and is awesome upwind. It has a variety of strap options - either 3, 2, 1 or strapless. It's meant for light wind but also works well for more general use for heavier riders.

I am 105 and for light wind and crappy waves use Jimmy Lewis Canary 5'11. Great board for fatties like us.

Hey Glug,

I feel your pain. I'm in exactly the same boat, need bigger board but don't want too big that it feel like a log.

Still want to carve upwind and cut through chop so dont want full nose.

Thinking need volume under feet and rear but not too much, still want to bury that rail easily.

Flatter bottom to keep planeing

In other words the perfect board!! Anyone make for this category of rider ??

Have you looked at Sugarcube ? Looks interesting,it might fit the bill.

I'm 100kg and I've found volume doesn't help with low end. A flatter surface with lots of area seems to be the best. Low volume boards are easier to edge witch helps a lot with low end also. When the waves are good and you're surfing the wave a lot without the kite then it's nice to have a board that feels like a surf board, some volume helps.

Hey Guys, I'm 92 kgs. I recently shelled out for a Firewire Vangaurd 5'4" and have it setup as a thruster. I mainly do downwinders in 13 - 20 knots and use a 10m and 8m Reo's. Before this I was using a heavier lightwave strapped board 5'8" and was struggeling from 13 - 15 knots with a 12m kite. I have not had to use the 12m since. The board planes quickly due to the wide shape held through the whole length. It turns fast and floats well due to the increased surface area. The only downside is that you have to be careful when heading out through the white wash as the board tends to get hit pretty hard by the wash again due to the increased surface area. I'm really happy with this board. It was expensive but definitely worth it for me.
