Intro post

Hi folks!

I'm a newb out of Santa Cruz. I've been out a couple of times with borrowed/rented equipment, but now looking to get more serious about the hobby.

I'd appreciate any advice you might have with regard to equipment, etc.. I'm a bigger guy (6'3", 250 lbs), so I'd especially appreciate any guidance into choosing the best "ride" for my frame and Monterey Bay conditions.

I look forward to learning from all of you!

Dave

Welcome ..good guys your way ...know guys " your" size and they paddle same stuff as us " little" guys (I'm 5'9" 215-220...but my big mouth makes up for it)...i.e. OK tridents/ prowlers , Jacksons , Wildys ,Hobies and more ..demo demo demo till ya find one that feels good

Good luck with your choice !!

Welcome, Dave. 

Welcome, Dave.  Try out a Malibu X-Factor or Malibu Stealth. 

Best of luck. 

Welcome!

I'm about 6'2"/185, and I fish from a Hobie Outback. It handles my height really well, and I'd say I've got "room to grow".

If your finances allow, you won't regret buying a Hobie.
