What are yawls thoughts on the Lyman, I am thinking about picking up the 135, I am 5'8 about 170.. In the Army and packed on some pounds over leave, but ill be back around 155-160 soon...
I am looking for a pretty grippy board, Fast with good pop...
Been watching some videos about the Lyman and I like what I see...
Any suggestions.. Also open to suggestions on other boards...
Thanks |

why you say that.... I know your gonna get alittle bit more speed out of a bigger board, but i was riding a CWB Absolute 135 this past weekend, and I thought it was gonna be too small for me, but I actually rode pretty good on it...

More pop, softer landings, better control. I'd definitely consider a bigger board!

The Lyman is the greatest board known to mankind. It is singlehandedly eradicating world strife and promoting peace and prosperity throughout the land!
That said, go with the bigger model.

Amen. Bought mine in 2008, and have never even thought about buying a new board since. |

I bought my lyman in 2008 as well and I have absolutely no plans to get another one any time soon. Its an incredible board. With that being said, get the bigger model. Im 6 feet 170 and ride a 143.

Lyman is fantastic! It felt comfortable on the first time I rode it. Tracks and holds an edge well yet still surface spins easily. Has great controlled pop off the wake. Bottom line is this wakeboard goes like there is no tomorrow and is simply super.

| It really just comes down to personal preference. I'm 6'2 and 170 and ride a 139. I prefer it because it's easier to spin and flip, but you do comprimise some speed pop and your landings will be a bit harder. |
