Precise wakeboard sizing chart

I am 5'10" and weight about 180-185 lbs. From the charts I have read it seems I can do a board around 134-139. Does that sound correct, or should I read each manufacturers board info to see if it applies.

I have noticed while comparison shopping the weights aren't usually listed so I have to do some extra searching.

I am about the same height and weight. I find that it varies from board to board, even within the same manufacturer. I can ride a 137 on one board, but then need a 140 on another. The sizing charts are a good starting point, but for me it comes down to personal preference for how each individual board rides.

......I def would not ride a 134 at that weight (although I am sure some do)...you can ride a 134 but I think you will find a larger board so much less work and smoother to ride. Like richard said even the 140 range is a possibility for you. I am 150 and ride the marius 134 but it is superwide...now I am going to the 139 lyman. One of our riders rocks the 2006 substance and he flies with his 138 and weighs 160.

I'm 5'9", 160 and I ride a 140. It's all personal preference, but the smaller board might put your knees at risk if you can't put your stance wide enough.

There is no "Precise" wakeboard size chart. Try different sizes, see what you like best. I am 215lbs, Had a 135 CWB Absolute that felt great, currently loving the 144 CWB Faction. If I had stuck to some chart, I would have missed the 135...

tank......what are the differences now between the two sizes since you have made such a large jump in size?

144 - 135 = 9cm... Seriously, each board has advantages. the 135 had great swing weight, worked really well in buttery water. The 144 is better when conditions are less than perfect, lands a little softer.

I think there is a misconception out there about boards being good, bad, big, small, etc. Just like you adjust your riding style to fit the wake (charge more on the rampy wakes, ease into a big pop on the steep, lippy wakes), you adjust your riding style to work with the board you ride. I have been on boards that I really had trouble with for the first few sets, then when I figured it out, loved them. I think alot of people write a board design off as bad when it is just a matter of learning to adjust the riding slightly. Of course, there are a few boards out there that are very difficult to handle, adjust to.
