Post by: Caribsurf on May 21, 2010, 09:05:01 PM: I am not as heavy I am 190 lbs and have ridden the Hero in flat and choppy conditions. Stable as a table even in big chop, paddles well for it's size and catches waves ok feels a little sluggish on the wavesdue to 33" wide but very loose. I want to experiment with fins to see if I can speed it up. I was really impressed with this board and posted a review last week

I have had guys 220# surf on the Hero
and love it.
If you are riding a board in this range 146L,
then it should be a great board for you.
If you want to make the drive we have one you can
Demo.
