Earlier this summer I asked for recommendations on a new board for my larger sons in law. We finally selected / bought one.

We got the Connelly Voodoo 5' 1" rated for >180 pounds. I was initially concerned about a board that was made by a mass producer of boards; I expected a heavy slug of a board. Turns out it was a lot lighter than we expected and had good surf performance. Even though it is rated for bigger folks, my daughter really seemed to fall in love with its speed and ability to surf farther back on the wake than her smaller boards. Here she is doing the initial demo ride of the board.

Everyone was having fun except the dog, who wanted to jump on the board with her.

So now we have Ronix, Phase 5, Liquid Force, Hyperlite, and Connelly wakesurf boards. I might have to buy more racks for the A22.

53” is not a large board, with a blunt not pointed nose it seams that way

Good powerful surfer! Our p5 ahi is a 53 and it’s one of our smaller boards but with pointed nose
