And help me as well.

My hubby is 6'3" and a comfy 250. What size do I get him for V-day? I tried searching and I don't think I have worded it right.


I bought a 134 for myself last summer, walked into the shop and asked a bunch of questions. Kip rode this little board but he says it is "kidda small" for him. Any suggestions???

the motive is a great board to learn on and progress on because the new ones have molded small outer fins. I have been riding an 03 and it does not have thoughs and when I break the center fin loose from the water the board would slide out and I would land on my butt.
But yea, anything from a 131 to a 134 would fit you little people. I am 5'10, 130lb and learnd on a 131 with no problem.
