Thinking about getting the 164 supermodel or possibly the custom x wide 164. I know they are two different style boards but I'm about 250lbs and 5'10" and have a size 12 boot. And I ride a little of everything but more so just bombing and cruising this year due to knee reconstruction any advice would be great.

Hey Michael, Either of the boards would be an awesome choice. I will say that if you are looking for a better all around cruising board to go with the Supermodel X. The Custom X is going to be an all mountain freestyle board so it is going to be a more flexible board. If you are a high speed rider, the extra flex can affect your riding. Also, the Supermodel X is going to offer a bit more control when it comes to all around riding, so it will put less stress on your knee.
