I’m a heavy rider at 240lbs and looking for a newer board, been studying the past couple weeks and will probably choose between these models below, any reviews if you have ridden these would be appreciated. I like jumping and not real crazy for a really loose board. I just bought some 2007 Hyperlite SD3 closed toe bindings, seen several great reviews on wakeworld about them.

2009 LF Witness 144cm
2009 LF Lyman 143cm
2008 Ronix One 146cm
2009 Ronix Ibex 144cm
2009 Ronix Viva 144cm
2007 Hyperlite ERA 147cm

Also with my weight should I consider a 142cm for easier air tricks? I'm not to that level yet but landing big jumps isn't a problem for now. Thanks for any input.

I'm 6'3" 230 lbs. I love my '08 Lyman 143. I will almost certainly replace it with a newer Lyman model eventually.

Sweet pic there Dave, looks like you got plenty of pop off that wake.

if you dont like loose boards then eliminate the Lyman & the Viva.
The witness is very stable, not loose at all, very predictable, not slow & not fast - just mid range in speed. Cant speak for the others on your list.
