    yo.

    sheez bro,what a hardcore name.
    what kind of animal are you?

    Dude,i rate hook yourself a fat elemenohpee.he new shipment will be here in april and is looking pretty damn sick.
    boards like the mcfly,skipp rockstar 41 bat and all the rest(42's as well)except the virtue serious,coz hes ridin for HB now.(lank arb)

    Not the cheapest boards on the market but probably the sickest.

    Good luck bro,hope you have a good one.

    You can check out ebodyboarding and chat to Jay Reale, give him your height, weight and some basic board specs(of what you're riding now) and what you're after that might be different and he'll suggest some good boards.....

    Elemenohpee's are sick, some cats arenloving BZ's at the moment, I'd bum a few rides off some friend's boards and see what clicks, no use buying without a test-drive......

    Yo buddy

    I'd go Rossi. I had one custom made by ou Marc Rossi. Its performed beautiful so far, no problems. Yes i definately agree, at least 42' maybe something with thicker rails to support that 100kg's of mass.

    Support south african bodyboarding then support bodyboarding.

    Hey Bro

    E's Are cool no doubt about that, but why not stay local man ( if your in sa) and go Rossi, i chatted to the lead guy Colin from Probe.Tv and saw he had a new board, i picked it up and nearly threw it across the room it was sooo light, it is obviously the acclaimed Rossi light and fast and durable!! Marc himself who designs and makes the Rossi's is about your size man so im sure he can sought any size you need.

    Hope you get the sick board you always wanted man!!
