I'm looking for a kinda do-it-all deck, I love to cruise around and surf but also go pretty fast and hop over things. My current setups are heavy so doing an ollie is tough. I'm fairly heavy though at 200lb. Any suggestions would be awesome!

I'll suggest earthwing if you want a big skateboard. I'd put this one on some tkp trucks (paris, indy, ace, etc.)

If you want to put longboard trucks (rkps like paris, caliber, etc.) Then maybe go for a little longer wb (20 inches or so):

Another cool option from Seattle, a foster board:

Thanks for the suggestions! I actually have a Hell Camino the Muirderer version. Have set it up with RKPs and now it has Grasp trucks, it's almost perfect just a tiny bit long and heavy. Actually I love it I should prob just put the RKPs back on and setup a newer board. I'll look at other earthing options.
I have a blunt 33 from EW in the mail, slated to arrive around next Mon. Will let yall know how that one feels. I'm planing to set it up with TKPs
Sweet, that deck looks sweet. The thruster 36 is also on my short list but might be so similar to the hell camino
Skate shred sells a 36 in, 9.25 wide, 19 wb double kick that I have enjoyed a lot, a few companies whitelabel it too, if you have seen another co with the same looking deck or their other decks, it prob is the same. The one I'm recomending is shaped and concaved like a normal popsicle got enlargened.
Round 30$.
@Matt Needs Wheels I second this. I skated that exact deck for a good long while, and it was a ton of fun. I even used their trucks and wheels, since I wasn't sure I wanted to invest in a more expensive setup and I still really enjoyed it. I'd likely upgrade to different components now, though.
@Zach Maxon Oooo nice, ik you mentioned upgrades, how are the components for the price btw?
@Matt Needs Wheels honestly, I think they're perfectly skateable considering the price. The trucks need a bushing upgrade, but I skated that setup as is for a while just doing goofy curb stuff and flatland tricks. Hard to beat the price, considering the trucks are $25 for the set and the wheels were $17 haha.
