I have a ton of questions so please excuse me if I start too many topics. Im currently using a Hyperlite revelation 135 that my friend owns. I've gotten up on it a few times but have a hard time being consitant on it. Im 6'0 195-200lbs and im curious if perhaps this board is too small for me. Ive looked on some places at it says the the Max weight is 180..... is this info accurate and if this is too small what size board should I look at getting.

Thanks again for the info.

Currently im just getting comfortable and working on jumping from wake to wake. hopefully I will be able to work up to a wide variety of tricks. once I get the wake to wake down I would like to work on some 180's

you may want to look into new boards and try demoing different stuff but the board should be fine for a while.

Went out today for a few hours. I had a great time. I ended up going with a 142 and had no problems at all. I can get a little air off the wake but still cant make it from wake to wake. I will keep working on it.

The revelation is a great board,, but my kids say its a bit slippery for a newer user. Stay with it and it'll soon handle naturally.
