    hi guys, may not suit at your height, but i find the 6'2x18 3/4 flexfire sits with the 6'4 taj...shorter length makes up for lower rocker etc...i use everyday as the rocker can grovel (more-so than the taj), but can still rip in anything i can paddle onto..(well almost)..couple of liters diff but negligible in the real world...paddles similar...6'4 flexfire will not feel as "turney" as the taj...but then again you are tall enough for it...perhaps use cbd to fill out the dims...??...but at your weight i use the 6'2 ff in everything as full hi-performance...i've probably confused you even more..!!

    p.s. just hit the scales...sittin' on 93 bl$%dy kg's....no more macdonalds cappuccino frappe's...!!
    p.p.s how cool and helpful is phill...!!

    Yeah. There are major issues and I was just emailed by the CIA and they have to raise the threat level here in the US to orange because of that.

    sorry guys, but the new forum was too shiny and clean...had to sully it up....give it its first ding...!!...like scuffing up new shoes.. :P

    keen observers will notice my daughters look of disgust...and family disgrace...!!

    norberg, sorry, your thread derailed a bit here....keep us in the loop mate, it's interesting how us heavier guys go about accommodating our weight while keeping the performance aspect intact...

    Hey Chris

    I see that the MB board is finally out. Can't wait to order one. Quick question though. The 6'4" is 2 3/4 thick which is a lot more than what I am used to. I do not think I will mind the thickness as long as it is located in the center of the board and that the rails are not to beefy.

    Would you compare the rails with the Flexfire 6'4 or are they way thicker?
