I am considering getting a wakeskate but don't know which size to get. This would be my first time wakeskating and it would be used by more than 1 person. The weight range would be 160-180. Suggestions would be helpful

I am 165-170 pounds and ride a 41 Cassette concave without any trouble. If I was any heavier I would definitely get a 43. I think a 43" would be the way to go.

I really dont understand the attraction of such a long wakeskate...it just feels like wakeboarding without bindings...not really any skate feel.

I am 5' 8" and weigh almost 190. I bought my first wakeskate last year, a cassette 46. As I started getting more into it, and trying my friends 43, I found I liked the smaller one better. So, i bought a 43 today. I am not tall and I couldn't get my stance right on the 46, too big. Definetely demo, but the 43 size is what many people ride.
