Board size, right in the middle

bvlaar · Criminal Joined: 15 Jul 2006 Posts: 65

Hey guys,

I am 5'10 - 5'11 and about 155-160lbs.

I have decided to get a 2007 LF Witness as my next board.
I am still deciding wether to get the 140 or 136 witness?

Board finder says 140 but when I change my heigh to 150 it says 136?
I am right on the line..
anyone here know what size to go with?

Thanks guys

it up to you
the 140 will give more pop and will be slghtly harder to control
the 136 will give you more control and slightly less pop

i would go with the 136

my weight is about 140 lbs and i use a 133 and a 134
height really doesnt make a difference.

nikkichik, didnt you just say you have only known about wakeboarding for a month and a half.
do you know anything about choosing the right size board???????? Neutral

It's really a personal thing, if you can demo both of them somewhere

Hmm
thanks for the reply's guys,

I've emailed several people with boards for sale, I am just gonna buy the one that is the least expensive.
Also,
I just inquired about a watson becasue it's a 137 almost right between these two sizes.. the only difference is it's a hard aggressive 3stage.

thanks guys

Ive got a hyperlite 140 right now which i enjoy but then again can't de that much yet to REALLY enjoy it. the bindings are light years ahead in comfort that anything else ive ever tried.

I have the Witness in a 136 and I run about 15-20 pounds heavier than you. It rides fine for me. I did a demo of the 140 and bought the 136. Keep in mind that the board length difference is only 1 1/2 inches. I'm not sure how much the width changes between the two sizes, but I would imagine it isn't much.

Thanks guys,
I just went out and got the 140. I know it may be a little bit to big but it should last me a solid two years for sure. So thats good for me cause I don't really have a solid income to get a new one every year.
Thanks again
