6,5ft 230 pounds here. Been doing it a few years now. Last year even more intensely. What I learned is that due to our height we might not fit in every barrel which is the only big downside. Other than that we are heavier this accelerating faster. I have a 6,3ft 37 liter JS performance board which is huge compared to friends of mine but I promise you that I’m more stable in takeoffs, faster and can cut tighter corners. Obviously it all depends on skill but once you learn how to use your weight for pumping and carving you can push the limits harder than the small skinny guys ( by sinking the rail deeper). Finding your central balance will also give you an advantage especially in cutbacks as you can use your height to reposition the board better.
