I am about 5'11 and probably 140 and I ride a 107cm scape and my freinds cassette is I think 41'' and that is a much better fit/board for me. (I think that those are pretty much the same size actually..or very close. but the cassette is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than my hyperlite crap wakeskate)

I think you'll be fine on it dude..yeah it isn't the ideal size but then again you may like them bigger and its still very rideable..sometimes I ride my dads 45'' and it isn't too bad

i have a 116 scape and it is too big. im 150 5'8". Most people get 41". the only reason i got the 116 is because it was cheap.

i saw sumwhere that a small board would be used for technical tricks, medium sized board is kinda all around board and larger size board is for jumping the wake so im not exactly sure it matters what ure hieght is, if anything its ure weight that matters

actually i read in the hyperlite broshure for the 116 scape that oe size fits all for weight
