OK. I have been wakeboarding for about a year now, and I was planning on getting a new wakeboard. I have a short budget right now, and I don't really want to spend much over 300 dollars. I was thinking of getting last years model of the Vision. Any advice on some boards would be great. also, I was wonder about what size would be good. I started with a large board for my brother, but was wondering if I should go smaller. I weigh 107 and i am 5'3". I can almost jump the whole wake, and was thinking it might be my board. It is the 137 Cobe. Thanks Question

There is no reason why the Cobe 137 should be stopping you from jumping w2w, If anything the bigger board gives you more pop.That is the same size and shape board as Dallas Friday rides and she cant be that much bigger than you. The Obrian Vision is a great board, very fast, good consistant pop, bites hard while on edge, not super loose when off edge!

One board I'd suggest that you look into would be the Liquid Force Nemesis 131. You can get a package deal with Evo bindings for less than $300, and the board is really a performer. It's shape is very similar to the Substance line, but much less expensive. Email me if you have any questions.
