Hi All,

Lately I have been trying many cable wakeboards and out of the all I tried I love Liquid Force Peak the most.
I ride only cable, I would say I do 60% inverts, 40% features. I like inverts more.
I can do raley, backroll, scarecrow, tantrum and 180 of kicker. I'm trying to do an S-Bend and 360 this season.

I weight with gear on on afternoon (I assume that that is the value, not the morning weight, when there is some weight range for a board on producers website) about 198 lbs (90kg) and I'm 6'1tall (186 cm).

I'm currently riding Ronix Phoenix from 2011 137cm which is way to small for me.

The Liquid Force Peak 141cm is for 130 - 200 lbs (60 - 91 kg)
The Liquid Force Peak 145cm is for 160 - 230 lbs (72 - 105 kg)

I'm right at the upper limit of the 141cm, when testing I had 141 version. I liked it, but I didn't have the ability to try 145 version.


1) What size would you recommend?
2) What are the benefits of picking smaller size and what bigger?
I know that bigger size has less drag, easier ladings, but worse spins.
3) Is it true that you can get higher inverts on smaller size?

I'm 5-8, 140lbs and ride a Jobe Conflict 142 on the cable. Went up from a Conflict 138. I feel that I get more pop off the kickers with the 142.

I would definitely go 145. I weight less than you and ride a Slingshot Recoil 146.

Thanks guys!

What about ability to do inverts and stuff like S-Bend?
Does smaller board make you go higher, is in air spin harder on bigger board?

Bigger board does inverts just fine. Off the water and the kicker.
