hey, i have just starting to get back in to the wakeboarding but now my old board is to small for me now. i'm 5'8 155 lbs. i have narrowed it down to 3 boards. also open to suggestions to other boards.

LF 2005 team 139

LF 2005 omega 139

Hyperlite 2005 motive 140 Bio2 Core

also are these good sizes for me?

thanks

thanks. does it really make a difference between a continious rocker and a 3 stage rocker?

The omega is probably the best choice as it will allow you to progress without having to get a new board. It will also give you a feel for the feature you like so you know what to look for in your next board.

About the rocker question. Yes it does make a difference when you have a three stage rocker it gives the board more. A continuous rocker doesnt pop as much but the landing is smoother. Id buy the omega with the three stage rocker unless you need help with your landings.

What kind of board do you have now, that could help out the advice. I'm gonna have to go with the crowd and say omega.

I agree...Omega...its a good all-rounder. They got a sweet package with the Alpha boots. Sorry to throw a fly in the ointment but even a H.L. Premier might work. The sizes you are looking at seem fine.
Take heed with what Insanetoast said....If you need softer, more forgiving landing look at a continuous rocker, or something with an abrupt continuous.

k that for the advice looks like the omega is the winner.
