I am between buying any of this 2011 models, but cant really decide. I'm an Intermediate rider. By the way I don't have a boat that makes a really big wake if it makes any difference.
Please help

cant go wrong with a watson classic. There is a reason they keep reproducing it. Just my opinion.

Watson classic is a really good board. Best selling LF board of all time.

I had an 07 Ronix one and wasn't a fan. I love their bindings but and loved how the board popped and carved but their land fast "gimmicks" mean nothing.

I have bad knees and Im only 21, so in 2010 I picked up a limited 09 LF watson (classic shape) and haven't looked back. The board is perfect

I wish I had gotten it back in 06 when it came out. I was debating then between an 06 PS3 and watson and went with the PS3.

Get the watson, as said you can't go wrong.

Thank you very much for the info I think I will be buying the Watson classic since I as well have knee problems and I´m 17 (meniscus surgery), regarding boots I think I'm buying the Ronix Kai CT because I've heard Ronix boots are very good, but are the compatible with the Watson classic? or should I go for LF boots?

They should be compatible.
I bought OT Kai for a friend, was very impressed with the quality of them especially for the price they came at, better quality than the liquid force id say.
I ride the classic shape of the watson too (2010 watson F.L.Y.) and I like it.

What size does a guy get? I know you can it depends on this and that. I have a Hyperlite Tribute 142. I'm 6'1" and 190lbs. Could I get by with a smaller board? I like spins so I'm assuming the answer is yes...but opinions are appreciated.

I would go 142 no question. Just something to keep in mind the watson classis has not changed for sure since 07 maybe 06. Whether you get a 07 or 12 classic you are getting the exact same board with different graphics. The 12 will have different screws for the bindings. The ltd and grind bases are heavier and have smaller fins. I just picked up my 2nd watson last night for $70 off of craigslist. Its an 08 in great condition.
