Hey. I'm like an intermediate boarder. I weight like 160 and I'm 5'11". I want to get the new Liquid Force PS3 and I see they are coming out with a 142 lenth in it. Should I get the 137 now or wait for the 142? Right now I ride the LF Omega 139 and I'm working on backside toeside 180s (w2w).

thanks.

at 160lbs, a 137 would be right for you. Unless you actually prefer a longer board like I do. A 142 is pretty big for someone only weighing 160, but it is all preference.

wat weight range would you recommend for a 142?

i've ridden 139 for years so im not sure if i like longer. i've had the fusion 139 (2004) and now the omega 139 (2005). before that were more 139 boards but i want into wakeboarding as much back then.

a 142 would be for probably 175lbs and bigger. But if you are used to a 139, going down 2cm or up 3cm won't ba a huge difference. If you where to ride both the 137 and the 142, you would notice a size difference, but going from a 139 either way, it will be a small difference.

How was the demo? Did you like the shape and how it rode?

would the 137 be faster because it's smaller? what differences would I notice? i haven't tried them out yet because they aren't available in my local board shop just yet. i am going to buy one at www.wakeside.com or www.buywake.com instead. thanks for your help!

i think the 142 would be faster coming into the wake because you sit higher in the water ths having less drag but the 137 would be more responsive.

The Headless Chicken, the way you said the 137 would be more responsive... was that just because of her size or would it just be more responsize in general?
