I am a 18 yr old college student who has been wakeboarding for a year. But i think the wakeboard we use is to big. I am 5'5 or 5'6 about 120, what is a good board for me? Would it be ok for me to use a junior board like the CWB Rocker?

definately get a smaller board, like around a 133 or something like that....I would recommend a hyperlite Motive or something like that .......its a really stable board and its not too pricey

I live in savannah ga where there is good riding spots but we dont have alot of board dealers. The only ones we have are Boat us and boaters world and bas pro shops. How do i find places that do alot more with wakeboarding? And will they really let u test them out?
