Replacing a Canyon 181

[willywhit]

Need some advice for a buddy.

Crazy Tom broke has finally cracked his Canyon 181 and needs to replace it. He rides Burton physics and some custom swiss hard boots size 13.He rides hard and fast and he's like 6' 210 and a tough dude, still plays hockey at 36.

What is a good board for him that's long and wide enuf to come close to the Canyon's width ? I'd really like to see him get a Prior or Coiler or similiar cuz I know he'd love it. He won't ride anything too skinny. He wants to spend $400. He's not much of an internet/email guy so I'm trying to help him out. He's not all carving obsessed like most of us here. He can wire up a home theatre like nobody's business (his job) and races stand up jet skiis (his real passion).

Any advice is truly appreciated.

That would be great, Doc.Thanks, just email me.I'll pass it along.

You just might be the top dog sizewise on this board.

I thought Dano, myself and Bob Dea ruled the heavyweight class.

Garage 174 with the extra layer of carbon

I think this Tanker 177 OS may be the answer

may well be, but seriously consider the Garage suggestion. I've not ridden one, but seen them, and construction is top notch. Also, the builder is responsible for Identity alpine boards, which are held in quite high regard as well.
