I use a hyperlite priemer 136 with XL bindings and my board weighs 15 pounds. I weigh 140 pounds, is this boars heavy for me? Also my wake jumps make it to about halfway to 3 quarters across the wake, and I can't seem to get the hight to get the whole way. My boat is 15 feet and is pretty small. What is the problem?

coming from a guy who learned on a small boat, technique, technique, technique. its the only way your getting all the way across the wake. i wouldnt worry about a heavy board. it only comes in to play when you get better and start doing spins. for now when you are cutting toward the wake, keep the line tension up, lean against it a little, and stand tall at the wake.

I'll try to get a video from my iPhone, but it might take awhile and I don't know how to upload it so I'll email it to you or something.
