Poi Boy 45" - Original Competition Bodyboard for Big and Tall Adult Riders up to 225lbs ~ for Serious Bodyboarders! Poly Core for Smooth Ride, Handling, Super Durable! Made in The USA!

I'm 6' 3'' 300lbs and in my mid 40's. My first experience with the board was at Oahu's Sandy Beach 3-4 foot shore break (6-8 foot faces). Believe it or not my first wave was an "In and out ". That was a good sign. I could not believe the ease of catching the wave followed by the speeds I could achieve. Great "buoyancy" for someone of my "stature".I got to checkout the "Original" Bullyboard that met my size. I felt that the board was just a little wide. When I paddled my arms rubbed the rails. I also felt the board was just a little too thick. My hands could not get a good grip on the rails which meant poor control. The Poi Boy width and thickness was just right.The price was fair. I've priced other "quality" large bodyboards, 44''-45'' in length, here in Hawaii and they were over $200.00.The only complaint I have that the board arrived about 5 days late which made me nervous. I recommend the Poi Boy Bullyboard.
