I've been riding the 8'2" Fat Tiger and it's a ripper.  Still dialing in the fins but no complaints at all with this board - the rocker is spot on for catching waves, speed, drive and fast turns.  I weigh 190 and some change.  For entry level you should probably get a bigger board unless you're a chick.
