I need help finding a board

[Bluedevil202]

For the last two weekends i have been wakeboarding using my cousins board, a hyperlite fluid 137, but i have had serious difficulty getting up and staying going. Im 6'4, 220 pounds so i am wondering if the board is just to small and what size board i should get because his board seems a too small. I was checking around and thinking about getting a package deal. Here are two i found that i could use some help on.

The first is a hyperlite motive 144 and foundation bindings

The second one i am wondering about is a hyperlite state either in a package deal http://boardersmall.com/xcart/product.php?productid=18220&cat=322&page=3 or buy an 07 state and some bindings.

Just wondering if these would be a good choice or not. thanks.

The model of board is more a of a preference... as for size

I'm 6'2, 180ish and i ride a 142... I could see how with an extra 40lbs and 5 less cm, it would be a problem. I'm switching to a 140 this season because i've improved alot and ride a little faster and my board feels kinda big.

I'd definatly go with atleast a 142, look at the width of the board too. A board that is 1cm wider over a length of 140+ cm, is 140 cm^2 extra surface area. compared to if you take the same board and extend its length by 5, where its width could only be 15, so thats only 60cm^2

For the time being, once you get up, pick up the speed a bit while your riding, will help a bit til you can get a bigger board

Motive Board will be best for you as a beginner. That board will help you learn the fundamentals of wakeboarding. Its a more smooth and predictable board than the state. Also the Foundation bindings will be the easiest to put on and take off compare to any other Hyperlite binding/boot. Boardersmall is a great company to buy from as well.

Thanks for your help guys. Im gonna go with the Motive because that seems like the best choice with my skill, height and weight.

Its a win win, great board for you, at a very good price, from a very good company. Just a heads up tho, don't expect an order confirmation email. But you should get a UPS tracking # the day after you order.
