I rode last year's model for a few month and loved it! For the price point you really can't beat it

any guys over 190lbs ride any of these? i'm looking for a new wake style board that will still work in the chop. i prefer a bit of flex.
Thanks!

Have you checked out the Ocean Rodeo Zen? We have a 135x43 and 135x41 Jeremie Tronet Pro Model that looks insane. Retail price is $899 but we got some on closeout at $599. Here's a couple of reviews from Kiteforum:

And some vid:

I am 240 lbs and riding the 140 placebo when powered up. It's great in the surf and chop! I am going to replace my Underground 144 with a larger placebo. Oh and the footpad and straps are super comfy.

The Poisons are their high end freestyle board. I've had the Ltd 132x41 and ow have the 132x41 Contest (2009). Awesome boards but a bit fragile at least for the way I treat my boards. Also at my weight I'd like them a bit longer but not wider, and the Placebos have more length.

I never tried a Placebo. How are they as freestyle board?
I wonder if they are comparable to the popular Nobile 555/T5 which is also priced reasonable? Anyone that knows that?

I ride the placebo in chop, surf, and flats and love it.
