Loving the look of this board, and I reckon is the answer for me, 4 years I’ve been using foamy boards and I’ve never stood up yet. Literally ready to give up. Great video, thanks 👍🏻
Really informative vid. Did a few lessons years ago and back at it. Have gotten up a couple of times on rented 9' foamies but find it a struggle, 6'4" and around 110kg on a good day. Been researching a board to buy and this seems like the ideal one. The only downside is how to get it from Devon to Ireland??? Some research needed on that. Thanks for making the vid and I sunscribed
Hello Scott, great video and content. I would like to learn surfing to do it with my children that have started 2 years ago during summer holidays but I am quite tall (6’4), heavy (88kg) and well in my forties… but you channel is very helpful and gives me hope. I am planning to try learning the pop up at home before being able to try properly in the sea, apparently that helps a lot, and I was wondering what pop-up technique you would advice on for a guy like me who is never going to be a top surfer, most likely will stick to a longboard and just want to enjoy spending time with his children doing something fun together. Thanks
Thanks for getting in touch. There are plenty of pop up technique videos on RUclips giving excellent advice. Most say the same thing. It's good to practice at home, but the best way to learn to surf is in the water. You will be surprised how quickly you progress if your on the right equipment. Enjoy.
@@NSLondon1 whatever works for you. The key is to land with both feet planted central - around shoulder width apart. Bring your leading knee up to your chest as you pop up.
What kind of geometry is on the board bottom, it looks slightly concave at the nose, I have being dreaming about building my own board for a big guy and settled on about 9'6" and about 3 3/4 thick. But I was going to do a bit pointier nose and tail. I am 6'5 and 140kg's so not small. Built like a brick ^%$%$% house not fat.
If you're a big guy & the waves where you live arent great most of the time, just learn to SUP surf. You'll 10x your wave count, get longer rides, & you can go for a paddle on the flat days.

@@BigGuyBoardsSurfshop thank you, any technique you recommend: push up, chicken wing...?
@@NSLondon1 whatever works for you. The key is to land with both feet planted central - around shoulder width apart. Bring your leading knee up to your chest as you pop up.
@@BigGuyBoardsSurfshop Thank you. I’ll definitely consider your board.
@@NSLondon1 thanks. Let me know if you need any more help
Out of curiosity, could you also use the board as a SUP? (trying to think of a way to talk the other half into getting one!)
If someone was light enough they could use it as an SUP
Where can I get one of these? I'm 6 foot 2 115kg but want to start to learn to surf and have no idea where to begin
They are available at bigguyboards.com
Temporarily only available for collection from North Devon. Or potentially international delivery.
Any chance that there’s now availability to have one internationally shipped?
@@kelseyswanson3588 if you message me on Facebook or Instagram I'll get you a price for international shipping
There's the answer right there
Thanks. Hopefully it will help a few people out
Great board , after having a go on the wife’s I’ve ordered myself one 🤙
Thank you for the feedback and repeat order.

Concave is not achievable with HDPE bottom. I have a Demo if your UK based to see how my board feels? 9'6 x 3 3/4 would definitely be heaps of volume.
@@BigGuyBoardsSurfshop No I am in Canada. Would be nice to try one though.

I tried SUPing but didn't really like it. I have a decent high volume grovel board now that gets me in the water when the waves are junk
