Hi Guys,

I am from the UK and have recently started wakeboarding, I also kitesurf a fair bit but have really got into wakeboarding the last few weeks.

I have been after boards and at my local lake two second hand boards have come up, one is a CWB Absolute platinum 140, and the other is a HYPERLITE Byerly 137. Both boards are aroubd 2004/2005 I believe and going fro around £100 each?

Which do you guys reccomend? I have tried both, and enjoyed them both a lot! But couldn't really feel any difference (probably due to being new!)


Cheers for any help.


Danny

if you like both of them equally and those are your only two options, pick the one that looks cooler, and has the most comfortable/supportive bindings lol

lol like your answer cheers man! Just wanted to see if anyone had any other opinions due to experience.. Like will the 170 hold me back at all as I weigh 71kg?

The 140 did feel more stable, but I guess it would as it is bigger?

Anyone had experience with either of these boards?
