board specs

[wakeracer]

I'm learning to wakeboard and i'm having problems w/ w2w jumps. i think my board is too big/heavy. its a hydroslide backdraft 142. cheap board. i'm 5'6" tall, about 150 lbs. Should i get a smaller board like a 135 or something? Would that board be easier to control? the bindings are only as tight as the velcro will hold, so that might be another problem w/ control.(they suck too) anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx

The board is definately too big for you. Try http://www.evogear.com/info/helpcenter/163.aspx for a good size chart. There are a couple board wizards on the net that can help you choose the right board also. One of them is located on http://www.wakeworld.com/
