I am 5'3' weighing at 202lbs, I got wide hips so should get a wide board? Want me to measure my hips?

Chasity, go with the Tribe Chief Flex 40".

What would you recommend for a trans woman who’s 6’1 150lbs and curvy ride? Was thinking a 41” in hot pink.

There are a few more factors that come into play but that would work. You can also check out this quiz to find out:

The only bad thing is you can't try it before you buy it. Too bad their isn't a wave pool so you can try bodyboards. 🌊

That would be great wouldn't it!

As a busty 6’1 trans woman there’s definitely a difference in boards. A men’s board doesn’t fit my body at all, I’m riding a 40” female model and it hugs my curves just right. Hope this helps
