try as many as you can,, different styles and sizes vary accordingly,,,,,
i bought a K39 for 49 bucks, at that price its easy to buy two or three to play with
it's all personal preferrence

| I haven't tried anything so far, what are the different sizes? Is it like wakeboards where you have everything from a 115 to a 141, or are they all about the same size or what? |

just like everything else, they come in all shapes and sizes
most shops will let you demo boards for a few bucks a day,
my friend rented about 6 boards for one day, great way to try all different shapes and sizes, _________________ www.integrity-wake.com |

i ride a 136 and i use a 112 size wakeskate...it seems to work good. So id say anywhere from a 110 to a 120 would be good _________________ www.jetpilot.com |

I think most skates are usually measured by inches instead of cm, except hyperlite. and they come smaller than wakeboards. If you like a 136 wakeboard I'd say maybe a 42" skate. But try different ones and see what you like. I ride a 138 board and a 43 skate. |
