I have quite a few questions. Im looking at different boards and like the hyperlite state. I was wondering if it was a good board? Also im 5' 4" 120 pounds. is a 135 a good size for me? Also Im riding behind a 15 foot jet boat. Would adding weight help? Thanks

Ok...
Yes the hyperlite State is a good board. It is designed to make toeside edging easier and may help with learing faster. 135 or smaller is a fine size. Sorry to say, but a jetboat won't be too great for wakeboarding, and adding weight won't really help if it is only 15 feet.

I roder behind a sugar sand mirage 16' with 120hp it was a week boat but i still got the general feel for boarding down. I progressed a lot and could clear the wake, of course as u prolly know there isn't much wake to clear but it's not bad to start off with. you can try and load up the boat.. it will help a little but eventually you will be like me, and want a different boat. Well, good luck with everything.
